The buttery-soft leather used here is actually vegan, so there are no sustainability worries, and a smart changing mat and detachable, insulated bottle holder are also included.

We liked the sumptuously soft fabric and smart biscuit shade of the Strada we tested, although it is worth noting that it might stain easily, so the darker green "Ivy" hue might be a more sensible choice. Roomy, simple and well-designed, this is a multi-tasker of a bag that you could take travelling or to the gym once your little one is out of nappies, and it also makes a brilliant hospital bag.Some airlines allow an infant (usually defined as a child under two, who travels free but does not get their own seat) to have their own changing bag as carry-on, but other budget airlines such as Jet 2 don’t, so you’ll need just one bag for your and your baby together. Hey, good-looking – if you like the idea of a functional changing bag that doesn’t compromise in the fashion stakes, try this classic leather beauty from Silver Cross, available at Very. A large compartment is designed to fit either the included changing mat or your laptop, so you can take this bag with you whether or not your day includes time with your little one.

Owning a changing bag with a separate thermo-insulation chamber is always a win; this lets you keep the baby’s bottle warm or cool based on your requirements. 4. Stroller-FriendlyMany modern-day changing bags are equipped with attachments for strollers to allow you to easily clip the bag onto the device; this offers parents greater levels of ease when lugging the bag around while simultaneously taking the child out for a stroll. 5. Right Fabric A removable clutch-style bag is ideal for carrying mum or dad’s essentials, stashing wet wipes or even for taking out with you on a baby-free night out. Meanwhile, comfy shoulder straps and stroller straps make this eye-catching bag a versatile choice.
