Im asking here as i know a lot of mums here have more then one so might have come across this before.
Right my pram has a straight handle (mothercare My4) can you buy something that stops the changing bag from sliding down the handle? this is my third but i have never come across this before as always had a pram it hangs off but know it will drive me insane.
Any tips or tricks would be great.
Thank you. x

Not sure if it's what you are after but they sell bag clips that attach to prams so you could maybe attach the changing bag to that? Mine sounds the same as yours but I think if it didn't slide down the handle then it would bang my knees as I walked... unless I'm misunderstanding?

Only pg with my first so the pram has only been wheeled round the house, may be different once I actually need to use the bag rather than just look at it!!

can you shorten the strap on the changing bag so it only just fits over the handle? The tension would stop it slipping perhaps.

I've got my DP thinking up all sorts of things haha. I think he thinks if he humours me and helps an I won't go on about it but hormones make the smallest things seem huge.
Thanks trixie think I'm just gonna have a play and see what works or invent something. X

watching this with interest as i always thought it was a design fault with quite a few prams that they don't have a hook or something to hang a bag from. i think the reason is the risk of a heavy bag upsetting the pram (tipping it over) but i agree it's maddening....

Try looking up buggy clips on amazon; you will probably find something suitable for your buggy.

Hi thanks for reply. I've had everyone looking for a answer lol. My DP thinks if he can put some sort of hook onto each handle it will stay put. I think we should all invent something. We would make millions haha. X

I saw these on someone else's pram and was thinking of investing for DC2 - they didn't seem to move, but no personal experience of using them:

There kinda similar to the other things. They must work then since there is different brands on the market. Think I'm gonna have to invest in some. Thanks everyone. X

the best hooks I came across are velcro straps which wrap right round the handle and have a big plastic hook hanging off. They were about £6 for two but can't remember the name. They don't ping off like some of the others
