I really liked my Cath Kidston changing bag but it was quite bulky and wasn't easy to carry with a sling in the early days when my daughter would scream in the pram! I've got a black Skip Hop bag too which is great to clip onto the buggy handles and has lots of useful pockets but isn't pretty...


Next time I'd like a Storksak or Leo and Lin, not sure how to justify the cost to OH though (like some of the posters here he doesn't see why you need an special bag at all!).

Apologies for resurrecting this thread but I'm just getting around to choosing a changing bag and based on everyone's suggestions above have got myself a bit of a shortlist... The problem is that I haven't been able to look at most of the bags in the flesh (as opposed to online) so it's a bit difficult to decide.


My current shortlist is:


- Lin & Leo: http://www.linandleo.com/babybag.cfm


- Pacapod: http://www.pacapod.com/shop/baby-nappy-bag-large-portland?option=black OR http://www.pacapod.com/shop/messenger-nappy-changing-bag-for-dads-logan?option=black


Skip Hop: http://www.skiphop.com/product/20000.html OR http://www.skiphop.com/product/22000.html OR http://www.skiphop.com/product/21000.html


I looked that the Lin & Leo one in John Lewis and whilst it is rather lovely (my kind colleagues are buying me one so I can be a tad extravagant...!) it doesn't seem to be particularly practical. There wasn't a mini changing mat inside and none of the pockets inside had zips or similar.


I haven't been able to look at the Pacapod or the Skip Hop other than online.... Does anyone know of somewhere that stocks them?


Which would you go for (if money was no object...)?

The Lin and Leo one I have has a changing mat, and the website suggests it should have, so maybe the JL one was just missing. The pockets have velcro fasteners which I have always found adequate, but each to their own. I have used mine for 2 years and it is fantastic and still going strong.
Thanks Vickster - that's really useful to know! I love the look of this bag in that it's more like a handbag so I can keep my bits and pieces in it too...I just can't get my head around something so extravagant that doesn't seem to be the most practical option!!

May I just say, I think so many of those bags are just ugly. At best they are twee and vinyl - OHMYGOD! Really girls, you will be wearing huge knickers next. Where is your self esteem?


Why not buy a nice big roomy dream tote and get yourself a set of buggy clips (they can turn any bag into a changing bag), a fold up changing mat (they did stock some at the Great Little Trading Company online) and a Very Important Pocket by Tentamar. You will still have a fabulous handbag when the baby grows up a little. The Mulberry Roxanne has more pockets than you would need for a set of triplets.


Use your imagination.


Breastfeeding bra's were almost the final degradation for me. Chin up, walk tall, fab bag and shoes. Knock yourselves out.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
