Nappy changing bags

onlyroz

I think changing bags are a waste of money. What you want is a bag that can carry a handful of nappies (5 or so?), a pack of wipes, nappy sacks and a travel changing mat. It also needs to fit comfortably in the buggy storage compartment. Spending £60 on a bag seems to be a bit excessive for these requirements.

Personally I stopped carrying a hangbag since having DD so having a nice changing bag is important to me, but appreciate it's not to others. I would rather have everything to hand on the buggy and not stuffed underneath so the skiphop ones that clip on and off easily are one of the best. It's the same with everything - you get what you pay for.

I bought this one from 'Whole New World', it is very practical and a bit unusual.

I paid £35 for it but it is now down to £20 in the sale.

Wow, that one looks really good! Shame it is only available in one pattern as it's not my colour at all! :rotfl:

I use a Skip Hop Saddlebag. It might look small but you can fit in several nappies, nappy bags, packet of wipes, hand gel, powder bottle, snacks, change of clothes, soft mat/muslins and a (small) toy. The inside is divided into two pockets, the flap has a zipped pocket and there is a draw string mesh pocket on the outside for a bottle. You have to either carry it by hand or attach it to your stroller/pram (there are velcro straps on the back).

I had seen the saddlebag but thought they looked too small. If you can fit all that in there, then can't be that small. Might take another look. The daisy shop is cheaper at £17. Thanks for the info

I use one of those trendy oversized handbags from Primark. They are around £10. I have had changing backs with pockets but just became infuriated with routing through loads of pockets to find the one little pack of raisins I needed!

I tend to not really need to lug loads and loads round, my baby has cloth nappies which ok are a bit bulky but I save on having to carry spare clothes around like I used to have to with disposables. Baby is breastfed too so no bottles and we do the BLW thing so no jars or packs of purees as we share a plate of something in a cafe instead.

So a full day out could be 2 or 3 nappies, a small pouch of wipes, and a bib. Then my purse, mobile and keys.

I guess what I am saying is think about what you will actually be taking out with you and then choose a bag to fit this.

My daughter got hers from TKMaxx. It was £12 and had some ridiculous price tag on it previously. It is a great bag and fits in everything she needs and looks nice as well.

Hiya x I bought the matching change bag to my pram which is very boring but whilst I am putting mine through the wash I am using the free Boots one and its great. If you join the Boots parenting club you get a voucher for it if you buy some pampers. I would say thats worth a shot - it has a free change mat too.

I also like nice change bags but they get ruined being chucked around.
