Back pack for changing bag

Just that really, I'm trying to find a small ish backpack for a changing bag. What do other people who use backpacks instead of normal changing bags use?

A very scruffy North Face back pack or a Wilkinson tennis one - nothing stylish or beautiful but v comfy and I can carry loads hands free!

The Healthy Back Bag people do a version which is a changing bag.

The idea of the healthy back bag is great - we had a thread about it recently where a few people said they'd had trouble wearing it across the body (where it maximises the spread of weight) - I've found it's fine if I wear the cross over high up (i.e. over boobs) and it's a great back pack.

Just a normal day sack - if I want to separate things I just use plastic bags as the one I have doesn't have lots of pockets/sections. As Tea said you can pack a lot in and it's hands free. Also DH is happy using it but would probably have a meltdown if asked to carry anything that has a pattern on it. Go Outdoors usually have some on sale - it's a lot cheaper than specific change bags too!

I have got one of these Caboodle bags and have used it for 7 years on and off, without any problems. Strap is only now starting to fray a little. It only crosses the body one way ifyswim which not everybody will find comfortable, and strap is very wide, but it does me fine and I've got upper back issues (pre-DC, not cos of the bag!)

The healthy bag looks good, not sure what size I would need, I try to carry the bare minimum I hate carrying a bag!
I like the one strap across the body thing but I wear DS in a Connecta most of the time so I don't think that would work.
Will have a look at Go outdoors, DH will not be impressed if I tell him I'm replacing my changing bag already!
