Changing Bags

[crackers24]

Is it just me or are baby changing bags ridiculously priced? I haven't bought mine yet (running a little late). Is it worth spending £40/£50? or is spending £15/£20 enough?

i got mine from ebay brand new winnie the pooh one and it finished late at night so i won it for £3.20 plus £2.50 postage. i love it lol yet another ebay baby bargain

Nope definitely not worth it IMO! I never used a "proper" change bag! I just had a little rucksack bag with the boys then a satchel type bag with Lucy! This time I will get a plain black satchel/record bag again!

i got mine as a present. it's just a plain back one. i had a look on the mama's & papa's website (where it's from) & it was £55! i wouldn't have paid that myself, lol.

I got the best changing bag iv ever ever seen from tk maxx the other day for 15 it was my baby bargain for the week and i love it so much im saving it for a special occasion to use it lol
I got mine with my travel system though and so im using that now, but i dont see how its specifically a changing bag, could be a normal bag if you ask me theres nothing special about it........ me new ones got special areas for all ur bits n bobs ( i LOVE it can you tell lol )

I say ebay or tk maxx will sort you out for under £25 !

I got mine from babies r us for £ 20.

would you spend that on a handbag ??
Probably gets the same amount of use but as usual the M&P or other branded ones will cost you a lot more and do the same thing as a cheapie

I decided to go for the £15 one at TK Max which is actually very versatile, rather than the £60 one to match my buggy

I am using the free one from boots, it seems to be just as good as all the ones you buy! and its much better than the one to match our travel system which could of just been a noemal bag! This one has all the right pocket and the little insulated pocket for bottle etc!

I got the red babymel one from mother care. It's got 2 thermal pockets so saves me having to go out and buy a thermal bag seperately. I admit it was pricey and I nearly didn't get it but I didn't have a normal bag big enough so eventually talked myself into getting it as a treat

It looks fairly stylish to use for a long time to come and all those pockets come in handy.

My mum wants to buy me one for Xmas, so going for a nice brown leather one that I can use as a big handbag afterwards!!

Mine came free with my pram..if its crap Im gonna do what Lea does and get a rucksack

 

[hennaly]

ive got 2, a free one from boots baby club and a brand new one off ebay from mamas and papas for £15

I didn't bother buying one. I spotted a gorgeous big Ted Baker bag which has 'Baker' written on the front in big swirly writing (our surname) and I'm just gonna use that with a changing bag accessory kit - little changing mat, bottle holder etc. I'm using the bag at the moment as a handbag!

I have to confess that as I didn't need to buy anything for baby this time around I indulged in an expensive bag. I had a M&P rucksack last time and hated it as it didn't have enough separate areas and meant I had to ratch through the whole thing to find what I wanted which was usually at the bottom.

I love my bag, it's the Ju Ju Be: BeTween in Blue Bouquet

I'll be using it as my main bag for when I'm out as it has a great "mummy pocket". Ok, I agree that I could have got away with a cheaper bag but as I said, this was my one indulgance - plus it was a pressie!

I was going to use the one that you get free if you join the Boots Baby Club, but then I was in town one day feeling a bit cr9ppy about not being able to buy any decent clothes so splashed out on a Cath Kitson one.

A bit of an expense, but I thought it was something for me for once
