I have a Pink Lining one that has been great but I would recommend using just any normal bag for a few weeks until you figure out how you want to do things - will it be your handbag as well? Are you going to use a sling a lot in which case a rucksack style is good etc

Got the free boots one, then upgraded to a Radley oilskin rather than an actual changing bag.

I just got the free boots one each time for both my ds, but I don't even bother using it now I just put stuff in various bags and dump it all underneath the buggy...

I seriously wouldn't waste any money on them! Big marketing con I reckon, I have the Boots one which seems fairly useful - and of course if was free.

I need one to fit my bugaboo bee plus. I like the look of the Pink lining bags but not too keen on this seasons colours...

I had a v £££ Cath Kidston one, but prefered the free Boots one. Walk a lot and have been using a rucsac since DS was about 6 months old. Will continue to do so with DC2 due later this year.

I got a Pacapod as a work leaving pressie and I adore it. Very stylish as well as being immensely practical.
I think it gets no. 1 changing bag in the Mumsnet reviews.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.

I got the free Boots one last time, but we don't often use it. This time DH was given a Pacapod from work as a present - it is the satchel-style one, which has so many pockets and components I can't ever see me using it tbh.....although it looks quite nice and I think it is quite expensive. I tend to just chuck everything in a bag and go - I would spend hours trying to remember which specialised compartment I had put everything in otherwise!

How do you get the free boots one???

BikeRunSki · 31/03/2011 09:38

To get the free Boots one you need to join their Baby Club (forms instore) and buy a packet of branded nappies, I forget which ones.

I'm taking a punt on this one from Ikea of all places! I quite like the pattern on the black and white one, not to girly so the husband will carry it and it is only £20! Hopefully it will be okay, but if not then I haven't lost much.

I got a free one from Silver Cross when I bought the travel system.

nannyl · 31/03/2011 10:32

Not bought yet but i will be buying a pink lining one

apples82 · 31/03/2011 11:03

Thanks bikerunski, i've just joined the boots club now Smile

Second-hand one from my sister :o Apparently it was all the rage five years ago.

Mum2Pea · 31/03/2011 13:52

have this one in the uptown stripe, bought it when DD was born in 2008

still really like it, found it very practical with its various pockets and would recommend it, although I did order it from the US, not sure if can get hold of it here ......... price has gone down! i paid $90!

I've bought the baby k changing bag after I fell in love with it in Mothercare.

cowboylover · 31/03/2011 23:03

The free Boots ones is when you buy Pampers.

I splashed out and bought a Lin and Leo gorgeous Tan leather one;
This one

I am really into bags tho as sad as that sounds so was fussy with what I wanted.
