ooh I'm coveting the Vanchi nappy bag from plush baby.
I don't know if it's decent but it looks so pretty (like a normal handbag) and it seems to have good extras.
I've heard oi oi are good but they're very expensive ($195+)

Hi,
I've got a Jolly Jumper one - it's kind of like a satchel. You can either have it so it's attached to the pushchair handle, or use the long strap and wear it as a bag. It's quite deep and has two outside pockets and one inside. It was $20 from Baby Factory.
Here's a photo:

I have a kapoochi ruck sack, I like it very much. Is handy to put bubs in front pack, put my ruck sack on and I'm ready for anything, tackling the malls, walking the dogs, mountaineering etc

Ooh, I've just bought a Vanchi one from an Aussie website and they gave me free shipping! I don't know if they always do that though. It was AUD$90 so cheaper than plush baby too  PM me if you want the Aussie website.
This is the one I got:

I have a Baby Gear backpack. I like that it can go on my back and not fall off my shoulder, regardless of how many people I'm carrying! And DH will lug it around for me at times too

I have a Uchi one, more styly than a "normal" nappy bag in my opinion. Just not cheap!

Yep, I love love love it! I would never have even considered spending that much on a nappy bag, my boss gave me this one when I went on maternity leave but I am sooooo in love with it that I would definitely spend the $$$ on it, it is so worth it. I have the Oriental Posy Carry All, and it fits soooo much stuff in it, I carry around half the house with me and it always seems to fit, it fits two avent bottles in each of the end pockets which was great when the gremlins were younger and would go thru that many bottles in an outing, plus it comes with a change mat and insulated bottle bag, and wipes container.... Did I mention that I am in love with it and want to marry it? It is soooo much more useful than Willie!

I have an oioi nappy bag, but I got mine from aussie. Even with the exchange rate and shipping it still worked out cheaper than anywhere in NZ. I love it! It's such a nice looking bag and fits everything I need in it for the day and its soooo nice looking.
I did have a kapoochi nappy bag which did the job, it fitted everything in it but I just wanted a really nice looking nappy bag since i cant really continue my hand bag collection for now.

Ohoh I have the same nappy bag as Emma since I spied her's when I first met the Gremlins and decided that if I was going to be having twins then I deserved the cool nappy bag, at the mo I just sit and stare at it and can't wait to use it lol

floss I did the same thing when I was pregnant! I kept mine in the box it came in, wrapped up in the plastic bag and every so often during my pregnancy I would get it out and cradle it lovingly

wowsers! thanks heaps guys! ...got lots of research to do i think!!
DH hates the fact that i ALWAYS buy bags...but now i have an excuse - its for his daughter!!
Oioi and Vanchi look like the way to go - want something practical, but doesnt scream 'nappy bag'.
thanks again!

I got an Oroton Nappy Bag from their outlet store at dressmart. I love it. It fits heaps in,came with a changemat & just looks like a large black shopping bag, so I'll still be able to use it when I no longer need a nappy bag. Only thing it doesn't have is insulated bottle holders which I never needed anyway.
