Charging bag recommendations

I'm due my second child in 7 weeks and need to start preparing.
I remember having a fantastic changing bag with my first. It had everything I could need but I cannot for the life of me remember the brand/where I had it.

What changing bag do you use and what Di you like about it?

I realised when DC1 was about 8 weeks old that changing bags were a massive rip-off and awkward to carry. I ditched mine at that point for a bog-standard £15 backpack from Sports Direct with loads of pockets and never looked back.

What Dappledthings said tbh. I bought a regular backpack that suited my needs and added things like a folding changing mat etc.
I used the same bag for about six years for first and second baby.

I didn't bother with a changing bag either. I hated the design of them. I used a Longchamp Le Pliage instead. Much more to my taste.

I used a pouch and shoved that it whatever bag I was using that day or in the bottom of the pram.

I had a really good one from Mamas and Papas that had everything you could ever need.

I’ve got a Babymel Gabby bag- enough space for all the tat a baby and a toddler need. I really rate it

Tiba and Marl. Pricey but they look nice and it's a nice spacious backpack with lots of pockets. I highly recommend

Just realised I've put 'charging' not changing haha.
I don't want a backpack style one as I find them a faff to hang on the pram if you've not got a big enough basket underneath. I had a satchel style one with my first and it had a changing mat attached which was a god send in public places where the changing tables are filthy.
Im sure I only paid around 30-40 for my previous one and had so much use from it. It even had an insulated bottle area which I didn't use last time as I breastfed but my partner will need to use for expressed milk this time because I'm going back to work pretty soon.
