Does such a thing exist? I don't like any of these flowery/cupcake designs I see around. I like plain-ish but stylish bags...grey, black, brown, cream or navy preferable.

It's for a 1 year old, so a change of clothes and nappy necessary, but no bottles anymore.

Please help me! What do you use?

What's the budget? I had a Pacapod coromandel which I loved (the jasper seems to be the nearest replacement now) and I used the changing pod (usually on its own past 12-18 months) even up to the point DS2 was potty training.

I've never had a changing bag, I don't see the point. I have a folding mat that holds nappies and wipes, a little drawstring bag with a change of clothes and one for food/snacks. They go into whatever bag I am using that day - might be a rucksack or a leather handbag depending what we are up to.

I have a fairly small handbag of my own, and I am a nanny so the changing bag is for work only - I like to keep it seperate.

Budget is about £100 (because I use my own bag and keep it and reuse when I move families) but flexible for something lovely.

I'll take a look at pacapod, thanks! Any other suggestions?

Just get a nice handbag that's big enough to fit wipes/a couple of nappies. I have 3DC and have never carried anything other than that!
Changing bags are expensive for what they are and not really necessary!

I have a pacapod and have just started to use the bottle pod for snacks etc. have used it every day for 7 months and it still looks as good as new.

Yes, I wish that I had just got a big bag. Catch kidston have lots of bags in different shapes and sizes. I got one the other day which is changing bag size for 32 pound I think.

I have always used a longchamp pliage bag as my changing bag/ general bag. I personally hated those cupcake yummy mummy bags and preferred something more understated. It's fab- fits loads in and is nice and light.

I bought one from here a few years ago.

Now I just use a normal bag and put things inside those zip top stationary bags, it keeps everything neat and waterproof.
