URGENT (but not important!) - going in to be induced tomorrow and don't have a changing bag yet. Want to order one on internet this afternoon so does anyone have any recommendations?

I'm 41+4 weeks with DC2 so it is a bit ridiculous that I don't have a changing bag or have idea what to look for. I muddled through without one for DD and was thinking that I'd do the same this time but actually, thinking about it, they do look quite handy! Although I am hoping to bf it didn't work with DD so I think I need to prepare myself for ff again - so I'd like a bag large enough of bottles as well.

I didn't want to spend a fortune (although they all look quite pricey so that may be unavoidable) and I'd like it to be vaugely unisex as DH will need to carry it around.

Any suggestions or tips of what I should be looking for? Also what measurements do you think I should be looking at for a big bag as it is always hard to tell on the internet?

Thanks!

I had a Cath Kidson one which was spacious and had sensible pockets etc. They have 15% off everything today for Black Friday too.

Pacapod? expensive if bought new but on ebay there are some bargains. unisex colours, my friend swears by hers so I am keeping an eye out for an ebay bargain.x

I was going to ask about changing bags today too. I have got a normal tote bag to use but going to put an organiser in it to convert to a changing bag.

If you dont want to pay a lot my sister has used the free one from boots loads (well her DH has as he cant be trusted to keep her other one nice!)

I have one from Tesco which is massive. It does mean I'm forever rummaging around in it, but I could fit the kitchen sink in it if I needed to!

Good luck for your induction

I was going to suggest the free boots bag too. It's black so I'm sure my DH will use it more than me.

I have a yummy mummy bag which I'm in love with, I ordered it through amazon (they have lots of 2nd hand on ebay too). I also love cath kidson.

I bought an oi oi giraffe print bag half price on ebay because it looked pretty :) if im honest though, ive barely used it. I slide bottles in the side of my handbag and keep nappies, spare clothes etc in a compartment under the passenger seat.

Go down to your local tk maxx, they have some nice great quality ones for really reasonable money complete with change mat and bottle insulators.

I have a pink lining bag and always found it too small.

We used a rucksack - lots of sections for various items, not girly so DH would use it too, leaves hands free to push the buggy or hold little one(s)' hands. And ours was prob a freebie... But there's huge choice out there for a backpack, in terms of money and style.

I'm using the free boots one and I haven't got a single complaint. Roomy without being massive, a really good size changing mat, lots of pockets and best of all it was FREE :)
