Changing bag recommendations

I am looking for a unisex, backpack style changing back that I might be able to get a deal on during the blank Friday sales… does anyone have any recommendations?

Just a normal backpack is fine and then you don't pay the baby markup!

Agree - normal backpack with a few compartments/pockets. Much more style choice and also cheaper. Make sure it fits in your buggy basket if you think you will put it there.

I got a Dikaslon one from Amazon, not too expensive and been really good so far.

This.

Spent £15 on one from Sports Direct and it lasted years. Specific changing bags are a massive rip-off

Yeah normal backpack here too. I did buy a fold up changing mat with a pocket for nappies and wipes, and a couple of wet bags for spare clothes, muslins etc to put inside the backpack.

I used a normal backpack with the skip hop changing mat www4.next.co.uk/style/st711292/470919

I have a lovely Burton Tinder rucksack. Not specifically a changing back but it’s big, practical, stylish and hardwearing. And for the £40ish I paid for it, it was much better value than it of changing bags!

We have the Micralite one which fits what you want. Didn’t pay full price though.

I agree with normal back pack. I always think the special baby changing bags are a bit Hyacinth Bouquet.
