What change bag?

[MrsKTB]

Hi ladies,

Just wondering what change bag you are all going for? I have a toddler and will have a newborn, so need it to be big enough to fit all my bits in, but i dont want it toooo bulky! I currently have a mothercare one, which is far too chunky for my liking.

I really like the Pink Lining bags, but I just dont want to be spending £80 on it!

So, stylish, big but not bulky and not mega expensive?! Ideas?

I just found a handbag I liked with plenty of pockets... I don't like the changing bag 'look' I'd like to just look like I've got a nice handbag instead... It's got all my bits and bobs in it and a fold away changing mat... This is my firt baby so I haven't used it yet but as its got all the functionality of a regular changing bag I figured I'd be alright.

I have a pink lining one, but I bought it in the sale I think it was around £50. Otherwise maybe ebay?

I have a Petunia Pickle Bottom boxy backpack diaper bag. I don't think that particular model would be good for two, but it comes in the "Abundance" size, which is a bit bigger. It seems to be great quality, I love that it can be a backpack or shoulder strap, and the patterns are great (and not babyish). They aren't super pricey and be found for a decent price on ebay, amazon, or their online outlet store.

they are really lovely bags and it will basically be your handbag for a very long time so may as well splurge a bit x

Ah, im glad i saw this post - i was about to post a very similar question myself!!!!I'm also looking for a new bag this time round as ill have a toddler and baby. I had a wallaboo last time which I love but its pretty small! I also had an okiedog which was a good size but the handles were a nightmare - the poppers kept coming undone so the bag would fall off the pram! Sooo, this time I'm thinking of a pink lining bag (which I was originally going to get last time, but somehow talked myself out of it!). What I'm not sure of is which one to get! How do sizes compare? I was leaning towards a yummy mummy... But are some of the others more spacious? Or should I be looking at the twins bags? Or are they reeeeally huge?!?!? I want a spacious bag, but not sooo huge that I'll feel like I'm lugging a hold all around, lol.

I have just purchased a blooming gorgeous bag from pink lining and I love it

If you have toddler and baby I would suggest the twins bag from pink lining as more room but not huge and on pink lining website they have 2 different designs twins bags in the sale at £62 so bargain!!!!

I'm just using an old over the shoulder college bag. I used it maybe less than 5 times in total and it's got a big flap over the top perfect for an on the go changing mat!

Two of my friends who had babies last year have gone through a couple of changing bags cos it isn't until you have you baby for a few weeks that you know what you want. So I'm getting the free one you get when you sign up for the Boots Parenting Club (UK only, see https://www.boots.com/en/Mother-Baby/Parenting-Club/) just to tide me over then I'll buy one when I know exactly what I need. It's just a plain black one but tbh, I really won't give a damn what I look like in those few weeks. When life returns to some kind of normality (ha!), I'll then spend some money on one that suits my needs and looks pwetty!

I'm getting the £13 obaby one that matches the stroller as I'm planning to BF I don't need a massive change bag, just nappies, wipes, small change mat and a lightweight spare outfit is all I should hopefully need xx
