Changing Bag

[tinkerbell86]

Hi,

I have got 2 changing bags - one that came with my pram and the boots one but i am findng that i'm still having problems getting everything in these and i still carry my handbag too!!!

Does anyone have any recommendations for a changing bag that i can use? It doesnt necessarily have to be for my OH to use too but just for me so i don't have to take 2 bags out!!

How much are you looking to spend? x

 

[tinkerbell86]

Not sure how much they are tbh - if it's alot then i might ask for money from family to put towards it for christmas!!

I've got the Baby K one from Mothercare even though inside is leopard print lol it was £50 but is massive x

What are you putting in your bag? Ha ha! I have the boots one and can fit loads in it, nappies, wipes, nappy bags, muslins, bibs, 2bottles, 2tubs of formula, flask, gripe water, 2vests and 2babygrows, I feel like Mary poppins! I have seen some lovely ones in mothercare xxx

Yeah, how much are you taking with you?! TKMaxx have some quite funky large changing bags for a reasonable price x

 

[vixforever]

Yeah was gonna add that I can use my boots one for both boys lol xx

hmmmmm your all making me think i pack too much!!!!

usually i take:

6 nappies
Wipes
Nappy bags
3 made up bottles
1 sterilised bottle
1 carton of ready made formula
2 muslin squares
small tub of sudocream
change of clothes
sleepsuit
rabbit comforter thing
travel bottle warmer
disposable changing mat
thin blanket
scissors (to open carton)
mittens
hat
spare socks
spare cardigan/ jacket

is this slightly excessive???

Oh and of course the baby!!!

 

[Zazu]

It doesn't actually seem that excessive, I bet if you took stuff out then you would need it!

exactly i like to be prepared...i think the bottle warmer takes up alot of the space tbh as when i go to my mums i dont tend to take it and have more room in it!!

Vix is this the bag you have - http://www.mothercare.com/Baby-K-Ch...ing=UTF8&m=A2LBKNDJ2KZUGQ&n=42764041&mcb=core does it do up all the way across or does it just do up with the flap?

 

[vixforever]

That's the bag no does up with the flap but I just tuck a little banker or the change mat over the top x
