Change Bags

Been looking at these lately have no idea where to start. Do you have an all in one where the mat is attached to the rest of the bag?? 

For the girls, we had a nice big one given to us with all the bells and whistles, but far too large to carry, we'd keep it in the boot with everything but the kitchen sink - a spare of everything for just in case, great for days out. We also got a neat one for about $15 from baby factory a blue/green one with a hippo on the front, which did the trick for a daycare nappy bag for ayja, came with a change mat which we never really used.

For going out and about up town, since we always had the big bag in the car, we just got a little kids backpack, enough to put the bottle/nappies/bibs - the immediate stuff we'd need - so that it fitted underneath the buggy. And mostly we just used that for everywhere we went cos the major stuff was in the car if we really needed anything more while out visiting friends etc.

Change mats we used to use were ones from $2 shop, plastic backed, polar fleece on the top, very washable and foldable - we had a heap of these and kept one folded up in the little bag. we actually never had a change table either, just would put a blanket on the floor and then put down one of the $2 change mats.

Really it depends on the look of the bag you want and how much you're gonna use it. Cos this big one we were given, as i said, must have cost a bomb, and had EVERYTHING imaginable. but far too impractical to use every day.

I like the back pack bags. I have a change mat in my bag (came with it) but not attached. I think it's actually less complicated that way anyhow because you want food in the bag too. My best advice - get lots of compartments

I really want a skip hop duo for the next baby, but I'm not sure if they're classed as too expensive or not I think they're rrp $120? or something like that.

You can get skiphop on TM for $110 new, and occasionally they have them for less (had one recently for $80 buy now).
