Have a shortlist of two....for now

This one in black is very practical - i often go for black bags. Though is it toooo safe?

Or the same bag in pewter More exciting than black? as a result will i get bored with it more quickly?

You can't really go wrong with black. Yes, it's safe, but extremely practical and you won't get fed up of it and wish you'd hadn't come next year.

Both v nice but I'd go for black for the same reason

fishie · 24/01/2008 09:11

get a nice normal handbag instead, changing bags are horrid.

ThePettyandIllinformedGoat · 24/01/2008 09:13

if you have to buy one, go for pewter. it is a changing bag you are going to get bored of it v. quickly whatever it is.

personally i would get a nice rucksack but that is really dull.

binkleandflip · 24/01/2008 09:18

pewter definately better.

£85 for a changing bag?

I'm with fishie. Changing bags are pointless.

Just get a nice bag and sling a cloth changing mat in it

binkleandflip · 24/01/2008 09:26

ooh no!! Changing bags (with lots of compartments) are gadgetry porn for new mothers!!

and as changing bags go - that's a pretty cool one

Cappuccino · 24/01/2008 09:39

yes but in a few months when you've stopped schlepping all the newborn crap around you have a massive bag full of insulated padding and pockets which are completely useless for anything other than tiny jars of food

also if you are planning on using cloth nappies changing bags are never any good because the nappy pockets are all the wrong size and shape

binkleandflip · 24/01/2008 09:42

I stand corrected Cappucino.

It is. indeed. pointless

TheBlonde · 24/01/2008 09:52

have you looked on happy bags? lots of options on there

never used any insulated padding myself so not sure it is that useful

Orchide · 24/01/2008 09:59

Wuxiapian - im serioulsy flighty when it coms to bags...doesnt take me long till ive gone off them. This will be my third 'bag to carry baby-tat around in.'

Am 8 months in but still lots to carry aound. i guess what i really need is a nice big bag with a few internal pockets - insulating properties arent on my important things to have list!!!!

Have also been admiring slouchy bags - russell n bromley do some nice ones but soooo expensive.

I'm with Capp - changing bags are a complete rip off, ugly and a waste of time. Just either use a normal sports rucksack or a nice big handbag.

I never carried enough to need one of those ridiculous bags (and I was bottle-feeding) - I can't see why they are necessary.

TheBlonde · 24/01/2008 10:03

with baby no 2 I am now onto kipling bags - nice long strap to go over the shoulder, plenty of pockets and if necessary can shove nappies, food, toys in

ArcticRoll · 24/01/2008 10:06

Yeah agree with others;don't splash out on a changing bag. There is something a bit grim about changing bags imo.
Buy a really roomy tote or holdall.

Black.
