Do you use your changing bag as your handbag?

Basically what it says.. do you have your changing bag as your handbag or have 2 separate? I have 2 at the minute but gets a bit annoying.. thinking of investing in a changing bag that looks like a handbag to use as both?

Yes I mostly use my changing bag as my handbag, except for the odd occasion when I go out without the kids.
I use a backpack but I am on the look out for a nice leather one to replace it.

I did it the other way: used my big handbag as a changing bag.

I use my handbag as a change bag too.

Many years ago, I found it a pain to have two bags, so used to combine them. But I did sometimes used to forget to transfer stuff when I just used a handbag when child free.

I use changing bag as handbag but also have cross body bags in different colours to match the outfit. I always have CRoss body in as it's easier for me to get hold of the phone and bank cards rather than digging in debris of tissues and half eaten rice crackers in pockets of changing bag

Yep I bought a lovely leather babymel one so that I can enjoy using it as both

Handbag as changing bag.
I've realised that changing bags are just clunky and annoying. And way too hard to drag about when you're carrying a baby in a sling.

I started out using the changing bag for my stuff too but found it annoying everytime anyone else had DS. Then there happened to be lots of pram distraction crimes around so moved on to a tiny cross body with enough room for my essentials. Its a lot easier with 2 bags now as DS is a bolter and its easier having money/cards attached to me iyswim
