When I was pregnant James & I went on a basics shop at Mothercare and picked up their Essentials Changing Bag to use as our out-and-about bag – we figured it was unisex, wipe clean and good value. And, although I still think all those things, I can’t help but eye up other Mum’s more fashionable options with a slightly envious eye. Don’t get me wrong, the Mothercare bag has been great – it has plenty of room, handy pouches to hold nappies, and James doesn’t feel like an idiot when he carries it around… it’s just that occasionally I have a girly urge to want pretty things.
With our somewhat restrained budget, I could never justify spending so much money on a bag I don’t need just because I want one that is nice to look at… but that doesn’t stop me looking. Here are a few of my favourite changing bags for a mum with cash to burn!
The Wallaboo Changing Bag
* is probably one of my absolute favourite man friendly bags that I’ve seen while I’ve been indulging in my online window shopping this afternoon. It’s not too heavily priced at £34.99, and comes in a range of colours. I think my husband James wouldn’t object too madly to carrying around this red one. The soft blue is equally gorgeous, and they also do it in pink, lime, black & chocolate so I’m sure you could find a shade you like! The bag includes a changing mat, bottle holder & dry bag, and is made from faux swede with fleece trim. This doesn’t sound too practical but the listing claims that it is machine washable so it’s possible it would survive the rigours of regular use!
