Expecting my second so after a backpack changing bag that I can sling on and run around after the toddler....anyone have any recommendations?! I don't like anything too "mumsy"! Thanks!

I just got a backpack from to max it’s perfect. And much cheaper than a Zoe I doc changing bag.

I’m currently torn between a skiphop Greenwich or a babymel Robyn. If money was no object I’d get a kerikit thor.

Aldi has them in this week.

I got mine from John Lewis - it was quite a few years ago but they might still do them. Just plain black but was ideal for both me and DH.

I was looking at a leather/leather look backpack style bag that can hold a lot.
Not too keen on the idea of spending more money on a bag just because it has extra pockets inside. Or am I being a bit naive?

Theweasleytwins · 12/01/2019 17:04

I just got one from aldi, really like it

Babyno2mamabear · 12/01/2019 17:05

I just got mine from Aldi. Not due until start of May and want to use it Now!!

Nightmanagerfan · 12/01/2019 17:06

I plan to use a normal backpack and have bought wet/dry bags from amazon to put inside with various bits in, as well as a travel changing mat

Theconifers25 · 12/01/2019 17:06

Can you get a normal rucksack you like and one of those foldable changing mats? I’ve got one from JoJo Maman Bebe. It has space for nappies, wipes and a zip compartment I put nappy bags in. It folds out into a mat.

Rubusfruticosus · 12/01/2019 17:19

I just had a normal small lightweight backpack. Threw in a few nappies, a packet of wipes, and a change of clothes.

I’ve got a babymel one, given as a present. Not used it yet though but it looks good!

CanIGoToBedNow · 12/01/2019 19:22

Have a look at Tiba + Marl- love their bags

AnnaBegins · 12/01/2019 19:24

I love our babymel one, really handy.

E20mom · 12/01/2019 19:26

I've got the Pacapod Saunton backpack. It's great. It converts instantly to a normal bag too. I really recommend Pacapods. I've had a couple now.

Mesmeri · 12/01/2019 19:31

I have this one in black.

It's great. Takes a lot of stuff without being bulky and is very comfortable to carry. And looks fairly elegant.

check out 'SUNVENO Waterproof Baby Diaper' I made a thread about this a few days ago and someone recommended this one.

I was going to get this and then found a tote type from Mother care so got that.

riotlady · 12/01/2019 19:35

I’ve got this one in grey, it’s great! Nice and gender neutral too so partner can carry it happily when he’s out with baby

I’ve purchased this one:

However somebody linked this on another thread www.johnlewis.com/skip-hop-grand-central-changing-backpack/p3325973 which I managed to get hold of at that bargain price.

I will decide between the two but think I prefer the cheaper one!

octoberbundle · 12/01/2019 21:05

Thank you so much for these suggestions, I will go through them all 😀

Those that have got the Aldi one, what sort of material is it?

ChikiTIKI · 12/01/2019 21:09

I have one from Cath Kidston. It's light blue with white cats on. Just a normal backpack I suppose but with lots of pockets. I think it's great. Been using it for 15 months and still good as new. Also have a changing mat from them which foods up and fastens with Velcro which is so useful.

Congrats on your second baby :)

TwittleBee · 12/01/2019 21:10

This is the one I have

Really love it.

rach2019 · 12/01/2019 21:29

I got the aldi one and its kinda wipe down material. comes with a bottle warm thingy and a fold up mat. Seems really good quality but im not due yet so couldn't tell you much else

Merename · 12/01/2019 22:15

I’ve got a lekebaby one. Like it so far, has plenty pockets and room for toddler crap as well as baby stuff, looks smart and clips onto pram easily also.
