Best baby changing bag

Hi, I'm having trouble finding a good size changing bag (preferably a backpack that can clip on to pram) Does anyone know of any good changing bags with a decent amount of room inside?

@Laurenbec We have the SkipHop Forma and it’s still going strong after over 2 years of use 😊 really great size inside!

I just used any old rucksack.

Which in my case happens to be my approximately 19yo JanSport backpack.

You can buy buggy clips or use a carabiner if you need. Check if your pushchair warranty will be invalidated by hanging bags off the handle though. Just in case.

I have the Babymel Robyn.

It comes in several colours, is a convertible backpack so you can use it as a shoulder or crossbody bag if you wish and has straps for attaching it to the pram/buggy handles keeping it nice and high and easily accessible.

Lots of pockets, comes with a changing mat and insulated bottle bag and it has an external pouch for storing wet wipes in meaning you can take them out one-handed.

I’ve got a backpack from Pink Lining which I love. About to be used for baby2, having already done 3 years’ service.

The trouble with a normal rucksack is that they don’t tend to open as wide as changing bags, or to be as easy to access when they’re hung on a buggy. Both are useful when you’re dealing with all the gubbins that comes with a baby.

Vans Rucksack here with a skiphop 'pronto' changing mat and some wet bags for spare clothes.

I love my Tiba and marl rucksack. I thought I would only use it for special occasions but I have used it everyday. It’s great quality, roomy, has an insulated bottle holder and wears really well. It is one the pricy side but i justified it by saying I would spent more on a hand bag and this is a bag that comes EVERYWHERE a with me in place of the handbag most times.

I've got a Cath Kidston one and its great. It looks lovely, has plenty of space and is easy to wipe. It came with a matching changing mat and bottle bag. With DD1 I had a cheap changing bag from Amazon which did the job and lasted until she was 3 and out of nappies so needed a smaller bag but this time I wanted something pretty too as it is used every day so I want to like looking at it!

Jem & Bea - pricy but sooo lovely and felt like I still had some glam and a changing bag.

I bought a pacapod and love the little pods, just clip them onto the buggy. You can get the pods on eBay or Vinted. Any bag is fine if you just want a rucksack

I have the Tiba + Marl concept eco backpack. It is excellent and comes with a changing mat.

Just seen it's on sale at the moment, half price!

Another vote for tiba and marl. Great durability, good size and looks like a normal backpack
