They're all a bit lairy for my taste for carrying round all the time. I think I'd get fed up of a print like those after a bit. Just me though
I've got this one in turquoise which is lovely.

i have justified my recent purchase of a hideously expensive mulberry bag by exclaiming- "just be thankful i'm not buying a changing bag as well"

i do love baby bjorn bags though- maybe not so good if you are over the initial baby stage.

second petite planet ones- really well made.

worked a treat- along with the "i need something to take into hospital don't i" excuse for some radley luggage i'm a bit of a bag fiend and dh dispares but tolerates it if i can give a reason for buying it!!

I've got the lin and leo in pink, its massive, bit too big for my liking its the only thing that fits on the bottom of the pushchair.

BitTiredNow · 02/11/2007 20:34

I got so fed up of my changing bag, I bought a great handbag, got one of the pampers wipes boxes you get in your bounty pack, filled it with 1/4 pack of wipes, 4 nappies, nappy bags and the small sudocrem you get in the bounty pack, and chucked it in my bag with a change of clotehs for each of them in big zip lock bags - I feel normal again.....

Im gettign rid of an oioi,..which was good and big but think i need somethign more grown up..

have just ordered two new bags...ahem dont tell DH! neither of which are lairy at all...i decided that i wasnt alairy bag kinda girl....liked the idea of something vibrant and flowery but not enough to lug around for months! Just gotta decide which i like best, and send the other back

used2bthin - me too - do you use cloth nappies amd is the bag still massive? cos theyre so big and take up soooo much space!

OP posts:
flowerybeanbag · 03/11/2007 12:41

Orchide I see I'm too late but just to say I love my lin and leo and it is big enough for me.

used2bthin · 04/11/2007 08:38

Oh sorry only just saw this. No dont use cloth nappies but DD has to have a lot of medicine carried about with us and injection pack which takes up a lot of space, I can also fit spare clothes and all the normal stuff, my wallet etc. It is quite stiff though thats the only thing but I guess it may sort of soften with age. Also it opens fully(it shows you on the website i think) which can be annoying as things fall out. I do love it though and at least I don't have to use two bags now as I did when I had my last change bag, there wasnt enough room in it for my stuff too. HTH.

used2bthin · 04/11/2007 08:40

oh just seen you have ordered it already! I think you will find it is big enough its definately bigger than most that I have seen. And does just feel more like a grown ups bag than a standard change bag, hope you like it!
