Changing bags

Hi all,
Hoping you can give some advice.
A friend of mine is expecting twins in the next few weeks. After asking what they would like as a gift she suggested a changing bag. Just wondering if you all had special "twin" change bags or regular ones. She plans to bottle feed if that makes a difference.

Any suggestions for a nice big bag?

Twin mum here. We have
www.mothercare.com/mc-products/mothercare-laminated-messenger-changing-bag/LD1111.html
And it's great! Just make sure whichever one you get has two bottle holders. You don't actually need double of everything, just nappies! (Ie you don't need two packs of wipes, two changing mats etc etc)
It's also got clips so it hangs fine off our double pram fine :)

There are bigger changing bags designed for twins. I didn't have one though and managed with my free Boots changing bag.

Not sure how much you want to spend, but pink lining do twin bags.

Skip hop bags are bigger but expensive.depends how much you want to spend. A friend who also had twins just used a rucksack

I have the new Peanut & Piglet twin changing bag and love it! Nice design and importantly is wipe clean Grin you can use it as a rucksack or messenger bag (it hooks onto our pram with the messenger strap).

Before that I had the Babymule which I also liked, but prefer the P&P one.

Depends if you're good at travelling light really; if so a rucksack might do the job fine, but I'm terrible at it and hence love the bigger bags!

I have twins and I had one of these:

Plenty of room for all you need, wipe clean, and cheaper than a lot of them.

Mine were spotty, now it seems to be stars.

Thanks for all the suggestions! The caboodle bags are all out of stock at the moment but new stock coming in "spring", whenever that it. Might still be able to get it, depending on when these babies choose to arrive!

For those who didn't have a specific twin bag, did you buy bottle holders etc? I'm not even sure what they are... A pocket that fits a bottle in it?
