Changing bag for reusable nappies

I plan to try and use reusable nappies when lo arrives.
Is there anything in particular that I should look for in a changing bag compared to if I was using disposables? Any particular brands or bags people recommend from experience?

Maybe one with a waterproof inner pouch/compartment/zipped bag big enough to put used nappies in, so you don't end up using nappy sacks? Congrats on your impending new arrival! Flowers

You'll need a larger changing bag, reusables take up a lot more space (especially if you are out for the day). I bought one of the backpack style ones from amazon. Extra pockets for nappy cream, spare wraps, wipes etc are useful so you're not hunting for them. Definitely get a couple of decent wet bags that can be washed for dirty nappies, it's not something you want to be putting in a pocket in the bag. I use the bambino mio wet bags, pricey but leak proof and washable. Avoid cheap ones on ebay - most of them don't have sealed seams so will leak.

I use a backpack type bag and take a medium wetbag with me for the dirty nappies. Both on Amazon.

I use bambino mio change bag, loads of pockets inside and outside and you can store so much in there! You can use that one as a backpack but it has other straps as well so you can carry it a few different ways which I find great :)
