On-the-Go Changing Bags

A changing bag should be three things: practical, comfortable and stylish. And these designs have each box ticked. Simple but considered details such as easy-access magnetic fastenings and stroller straps put parents’ needs first, whilst multipurpose pockets offer a place for essentials. Experts in all things baby related, Pasito a Pasito’s Walking Mum changing backpack is made using strong waterproof cotton canvas — in case of spills, simply reach for your baby wipes in the purpose-designed side dispenser pocket. This handy add-on is a gamechanger for juggling mucky hands and fidgety babies. Another favourite of ours is Spanish brand Paz Rodríguez's smart changing tote. It comes with a roomy main compartment and plenty of storage spots, plus the wipe-clean material is as practical as it gets and it comes in three colourways!

Whilst practicality is key, there’s something to be said about a changing bag that also complements your personal style. TIBA + MARL is the brand that every city-slicker-turned-parent heads to for changing bags with a little edge. Its signature backpack comes with multiple slip pockets and zipped compartments, whilst the back and straps are lightly padded, promising comfort and even weight distribution. On the outside, the snakeskin-effect material and chunky silver hardware put this bag firmly in the ‘“cool-parent” category. It even comes with a matching clutch, which serves as a handy holdall by day, thanks to the detachable strap, and an evening bag by night. For the mother of all changing bags, Storksak’s set is a luxurious four-piece design that has just about every base covered. Spacious multi-compartment backpack, complete with a lightly padded mat provide a soft surface for any baby-changing location. It also comes with a separate bottle holder that can be easily attached to the handles of your pram. The body features the brand’s understated rose-gold logo plate, which matches the hardware across the set. Parenting on the go has never looked so chic.
