Changing bag recommendations please?

[RedRobyn2021]

My mum got me this one with my first

amzn.eu/d/bpmf2vF

We used it for 2.5 years and it was quite manky by the end so I got rid, my only criticism was it was such a huge bag

I don't want to spend a fortune, but can anyone recommend one please?

No recommendations sorry but hopefully this will bump for you

I have the Silver Cross Wave changing bag. It looks similar to the one you linked and its definitely not bulky. It is on the pricey side but it's such good quality.

I had a backpack one similar from Amazon. Vicloon was the brand and was £20 so not too pricey

I recently got this one as the zip went on my other bag, i love it, the insulated pockets do actually work too (i don’t use bottles but i put her refrigerated fruit pouches in them) £35 well worth it xx

A bog standard small backpack for about £15 from Sports Direct or similar

Funnily enough this is the one I've linked 😂

Don't you find it quite bulky?

I want a changing bag, so something with lots of different pockets and hopefully a travel changing mat

Don't think I'll get that with a big standard backpack do you?

Loads of pockets, yes. I had exactly that plus a fold up travel mat off Amazon for a fiver. Far sturdier overall than any changing bag and I had two of them before I realised they were one of the biggest baby item cons going.

You can buy a travel changing mat separately though and they come with pockets for nappies and wipes. And because it’s just the matt you can replace as needed when it’s looking a bit manky without needing a whole new bag. Then bag wise I had a large longchamp pilage tote. Which was great because it actually looks half decent and it’s only as bulky as you need it to be, depending on what you’ve shoved in it that day! Kept a change of clothes in a zip lock bag. Never needed insulated pockets even with bottle feeding.

Its just like a normal backpack like what my kids take to school, it comes with a travel change mat too which i didn’t read so nice surprise when it turned up lol, plenty of room for everything, i don’t even take my hand bag out anymore as all my stuff fits in it too xx
