Superrrr AMAZINGGGG

I had a changing bag for a little while with my daughter, but couldn't get on with it, so I changed to having everything in a small rucksack (not a designer baby one, just a standard rucksack), which I found much more useful. I could have my hands free and either carry it on my back or on the back of the pushchair and I would still recommend this for everyday use.I've managed quite happily without a "changing bag" but this Badabulle Weekend Changing bag has slightly changed my mind. Described as black it's actually more of a flecked dark grey with an "OH MY BABY!" patch on one side. The photo on the product page is quite deceiving it is really quite large - 48 (nearly half a metre) x 36 x 5 (this is when empty it's quite flat) cm - eminently suitable for a weekend away. You should be able to easily pack everything you need to keep your baby clean for a weekend away. This would make an excellent bag to take into hospital when you have your baby.It can be carried either using the shoulder strap or carry handles. It has lots of nifty little pockets :- on the outside two small pockets at either end, which also contain straps to clip it to your pushchair, the two long sides are pockets which seal with a little bit of Velcro, the base has four large plastic studs to protect the base, there is also a zip which extends the width of the bag by a couple of inches if you need the extra room; on the inside there is a large central section which you can pack full of nappies, wipes and spare baby clothes, on one side of this are three webbed pockets, there is a smaller section separated from the main section by a long low zipped pocket, on the other side of this section are two small zipped pockets. It also comes with a small travel changing mat (not very large or very thick, I tend to use these to try and pad out the moulded plastic changers you find in baby changing rooms), an insulated zip purse to keep a bottle in, another small purse to keep a dummy/pacifier in (this has a press stud strap so you can attach it to your pushchair or the strap of the bag for easier access), it also has a sealable plastic "folder" described as a see through pouch on the product page (have to admit I'm not really sure what that's for).I'm not sure this is a changing bag you'd want to be carrying round for everyday use - it is big and would be quite hefty when full. But for a weekend away, or even a day trip this would be an excellent bit of kit to have. And if you don't mind the Oh My Baby patch, it would make a useful weekend bag once it's no longer needed as a changing bag.I've always been dubious about the benefit of a changing bag, and thought they were an expense you could do without. Especially at a time when you may be constrained by a budget. If, however, you intend to go on lots of day trips and weekends away, this would be a worthwhile investment.

I love this bag so much I'm now using it for going to work, the gym and will be using it for a mini break, it's that good a size and design.I love the ample size (expandable zip like on suitcases) it is under your standard pram width (clips included for attachment but I would use a carabeener clip if the bag is full/heavy as I doubt they'd hold for everything I take out). The picture does make it look a little smaller than it is.Inside there are mesh pockets for easy storage items as well as a central zip pocket for securing more items. The 2 outside pockets are secured with strong velcro.EDIT 27/04/18 This has been in use, possibly daily since my reivew and I need to add that the plastic loop in both handles has broken and the stitching on the thin side of the shoulder strap has become undone, I've just sat here watching t.v. sowing it back together. I'm fortunate that is was a vine item otherwise I would have been looking to return or have this replaced if I'd bought it. So I'm taking off 1 starIt comes with a small change mat (newborn would fit the mat otherwise your child will be on the floor and just their butt under the mat), small pvc ziplock wallet for anything stinky and soother case. There is also a basic foil lined (removable) zip pouch to help keep your milk bottle warm.I like the width of the shoulder strap, it might sound a minor detail but there is nothing worse than a narrow strap digging in to your flesh from a heavy bag - I don't like the two strap handles, for that reason and that's the only thing I can pick fault with.It's a dark grey marl and the only thing black is the trim and inside lining. It looks like a quality bag and it really is.

I was in the market for another change bag and saw this one so thought I'd give it a try. It is snazzy and doesn't really look like a change bag which is great. It has plenty of room and could even, at a push, serve as an weekend/overnight bag. I have been able to fit everything I need for a day out with room to spare - and that's including putting my own stuff in so I don't need to take my handbag.If you are looking for a modern, stylish bag, with bags of room then look no further!

Wow!This is a great bag! It's a biggun! It has multiple pockets and it has a flat bottom section which is great for packing neatly. I am using it for myself for travel. The tiny dummy purse is good for change. You can get a lot in this big bag. I think it looks pretty smart, it's dark grey and plain apart from the logo. It is strong and I think it will hold up really well. Recommended.

This bag is really quite large, the dimensions listed onsite by Amazon are when it is flat and empty, 5cm is actually more like 20cm when its extended to full size. The second lifestyle image in the Amazon gallery best represents its size. The fact that it is quite big makes it a perfect overnight bag for staying at the grandparents.The bag seems to be really well made with good stitching and zips (time will tell), on the base of the bag there are 4 large plastic studs to keep the bags base off the ground, this could have been improved further with a different / waterproof material on the base. Inside the bag thereIs a good selection of inner pockets and zips so you can keep everything tidy and organised. The extras inside the bag are useful but in the case of the changing mat it’s not the best quality.Using the bag we have found it really useful and the addition of the shoulder strap has been a help. I love the grey colour with the bright ‘Oh my baby’ branding.
