Changing bags?

Has anyone got any recommendations for a good backpack type changing bag? I had an over the shoulder yummy mummy one for my first but I think with having two babies to chase around a backpack one will be more practical. I was looking at just normal cath kidston backpacks but ideally want something thats more organised inside rather than one big space. Thanks!

If you’re after something cheap and cheerful Asda have started doing changing bags in the ladies bag section. I got a dumbo backpack style one and it has plenty of compartments/pockets and comes with a changing mat without being too bulky. I love mine and it’s light too.

@BabyG08 oo thank you I would never have thought of the supermarkets! I'll have a look thanks ☺️

Get a standard backpack that you like (I got one from TKaxx that's just black leather look (and everyone thinks is Tiba+Marl) for £20. And the Amazon for a backpack organiser for about a tenner.

I've got a lovely Joules backpack that works well as a changing bag. All you need is a bag that has a few pockets, can stand up on its own, opens wide at the top and has room for a foldable changing mat etc. It doesn't need to be a proper 'changing bag'.

Another vote for the Asda Dumbo one! It has lots of pockets and comes with a changing mat too.
You can use it as a backpack or have the longer strap for over the buggy etc. Plus it looks nice and is grey, think it also comes in plain black.

I had a changing backpack with my second (clips apart and you can hook it on pram handle.) Wish I'd had it with my first rather than a bag style. Oh yes the asda dumbo one is beautiful and I would have def wanted thay one has I seen it with my first...

I treated myself to a Tiba and Marl one and I absolutely love it.

I’ve just treated myself to a 30L Burton backpack for DC2. It’s absolutely massive (could get a potty in it for DS, several changes of clothes for both kids, and a decent stash of cloth nappies no problem), pretty, really high quality materials, and still cost less than any of the premium changing bag brands.

I had a cheap changing bag backpack from Amazon last time. It’s lasted 2 years and has been great, I just wanted something bigger and a bit jazzier this time!
