BabbleRoo Baby Changing Bag Backpack, Nappy Changing Back Pack Diaper Bags with Changing Mat & Pacifier Holder for Mom & Dad

Product Information

A large compartment is designed to fit either the included changing mat or your laptop, so you can take this bag with you whether or not your day includes time with your little one. The exterior is crafted from a water-resistant material, ensuring the durability of the backpack and safety of its contents. The buttery-soft leather used here is actually vegan, so there are no sustainability worries, and a smart changing mat and detachable, insulated bottle holder are also included. And if you aren’t sold on the silver colourway of this faux leather beauty, a black snake print as well as plain black and taupe versions are also available, and all four versions double up nicely as work backpacks, gym bags or carry-on when you aren’t bringing baby.

Many changing bags have wipe-clean interiors, and most also come with a removable changing mat for on-the-go nappy changes.Like anything else when it comes to baby things, the right thing for you depends on your individual needs.

Storage is limited though, with just a few wide, elasticated pockets to use inside (although the ones that are present are ideal for stashing nappies, muslins and a few outfits for baby) and a few outside that are handy for quick-grab items such as wipes or your phone. We like the easy-access external zipped pockets and the roomy main compartment, although would have preferred this to be zipped too. Norwegian brand Kaos says it designed the Ransel ‘to last long before and after diaper days are over’ and we’d have to agree – this is a lovely design for day to day that’s unisex, versatile and just happens to be ideal for use as a changing bag. When you’re done with the diaper stage this can totally function as a perfect work or travel bag too. If you are flying solo with baby, it is best to get one with both top handles and back straps for easy and convenient handling.

You may be wondering why you can’t just use your favourite rucksack for all your baby’s essentials, and the answer is that you absolutely can in a pinch. The Skip Hop Forma Backpack Diaper Bag probably looks the most like a diaper bag compared to the others on this list due to its quilted design. For the purposes of this list, I did not test diaper totes, messenger bags, diaper clutches or portable changing stations. I tried to test these objectively based on those criteria, but of course, some of my personal preferences are involved here.

Parker Baby Birch Bag: Parker Baby's bag is stylish, but that's about where its benefits end compared to the other bags on this list. There’s a great range of pockets in intuitive places, and we reckon this is the best changing bag we tested for getting organised and finding essentials easily on the go. I love the wipe pocket on the side of the back with a hole to just pull the wipes out one at a time rather than having to get the whole packet out each time. Alternatively, pick one that you’d be happy taking to work or using as a gym bag once your little one is out of nappies.

It also includes a wipe pocket, a key loop, and a dedicated multi-function changing pad pocket for tablets and laptops. However, we’d have preferred a zip fastening rather than pull ties at the top of the bag’s main section to keep everything packed away in place. You will also find a USB charging interface attached to this bag that can be easily accessed without you having to open the compartments. We’d also have preferred the removable insulated bottle holder to have a zipped opening rather than a drawstring. However, I haven't used it for long enough to say if it would dig into your shoulders after a while.

This is a versatile and stylish backpack that comes with a variety of open and zipped pockets to serve your various needs as a new mother. It’s a large unit with a changing pad pocket that can hold a tablet, or a 15-inch laptop if necessary. It has enough space to hold items in an organised way so you can easily find what you're looking for, all the pockets are great.A well-made diaper bag works great for your “on the go mommy life”, lightens the load, and makes your busy day just a little bit easier! We have added a luggage sleeve on the back so it can easily slide over a carry-on luggage while on the go. You will find excellently insulated bottle pockets and water-resistant fabric for any accidental spills or leaks.
