I need a new changing bag but can't find one that's affordable. I can't believe how much some of them cost :eek:
The one I've got now is the free Boots one you get in your maternity pack but the pockets don't have zips so my purse keeps falling out.

Any suggestions?

I just use a normal bag and buy travel change mats for a couple of pound fro
the local baby shop.

I just bought a Graco sports one as I wanted one that was soft and squidgy, had lots of pockets, I could wear across the body and was cheap. It was only £20+.

I had a rucksack one before and it was a nightmare, kept wacking people with it as I turned round in shops! Ha ha!

You could always use a normal, largish bag.

I couldn't believe the price of some of the changing bags when I started looking! Can't believe people have the money to spend like that these days! Amazing!

I just use a messanger type bag, with soft fold up changing mat (from Poundland). Chose a bag that had lots of pockets (but can never find keys etc. :laughing: ) They have some nice one's in Argos with Winnie, Eyeore etc on not sure how many sections, but they are only about £15.00 :thumbsup:

I only have one child using a changing bag, mom provides it but its basically a small travel holdall kinda bag that I can fit my puse phone and keys in when we go out and about.

Before that I used a rucksackwith lots of different pockets.

I like these ones and am probably going to get one. I will have 3 with me in nappies so need a decent sized bag. I have a foldaway change mat already.

I use a rucksack, that way I can carry all the bits easily and use a buggy board too. Not very glam but very practical.:D

I too use a messenger type bag bought from Sainsburys in the sale for £1.79!! It has a two part inner perfect at the front for nappies for 3 children and 2-3 each and then in the back inner compartent can fit wipes, sacks, two mats and gloves/cleanser.

It has a small inner zipped pouch for purse, camera etc, pen, etc and two larged zipped compartments one on front and one on back where i keep other bits, it is not a huge thing, but holds lots of stuff in an organised way and has an adjustable handle perfect for going over the handlebars of almost any pushchair or shoulder!
