Changing bag options

[NWnature]

Hi there

Looking to treat myself to a changing bag - I don’t generally like the traditional ones so open to a normal tote bag that I can organise using pouches or existing pockets. I did have a bini bamba tote on order but they’ve sold out apparently.

Budget probably up to £100 or so

If you’ve landed here while on the hunt for similar changing bag recommendations, our guide to the best changing bags has been recently updated to reflect current availability and trends. It features a wide range of stylish, practical and affordable options and brands all rated by Mumsnetters. We hope it’s helpful!

Would strongly suggest getting a backpack changing bag instead of a tote, for the following reasons:

gives you both hands / arms free for carrying baby and other stuff

weight is balanced on your back rather than on one side

less likely to swing down off your arm and knock over a small kid!

can easily be attached to a buggy using clips

can be used for years after (esp if you choose a neutral washable one)

I've got a Bramley tote from pink lining for the buggy. I've had loads and this is great!

I also use a back pack if I'm not taking the buggy

Also recommend a back pack. I had a shoulder bag last time and it was a pain to carry if baby was in the sling, or the pram - but then it was so heavy it used to tip the pram over if I hung it on the pram and took the baby out! Got a back pack this time and it so easy!

mine is leather and from John Lewis and just looks like a regular back pack style hand bag.

Yes I used my backpack first time round and then just had a small tiba and marl bag for the buggy which didn’t tip it over. Maybe I just repeat this - I think I’ve just got late night need craving to spend 😂
