Product Information

Above all, you’ll be looking for a hardwearing, durable, lightweight bag that’s easy to clean and large enough to stuff all the essential items into. It’s likely that you’ll head out with it (either strapped to a pram or slung over your shoulder) several times a week so it’s an important buy that you’ll want to ensure suits your style and needs. There are quite a few different types of baby changing bag – so before you start shopping, it's worth considering which will best suit your needs and family. Changing bags come in a variety of styles and sizes. With lots to fit in, it can be tempting to go for the largest option you can find. But you’ll need to consider if it’s too heavy to lift, especially as you may be pushing or carrying your little one too.

Having said that, many babies sleep well in a cot from birth. They're a safe place for babies to sleep and if you have space, you can set it up in your own bedroom initially. A baby sleeping bag or swaddle can help them feel more at home. What bedding do you need for a cot bed? Pros: If you have a little more money to spend on an achingly-cool designer baby changing bag, you won't more quite-clearly-luxe than the Burberry logo-adorned baby changing shoulder bag. The iconic Burberry print gives the bag a classic and timeless look that will never go out of style. Looks for added extras - is there a perfect-fit changing mat included or do you need to buy one separately?The fact that the entire bag is made from water-resistant fabric will be welcome to any UK-based parents.

We also asked writer Becca Heyes to test a selection of changing bags and let us know her thoughts. As a mum to a boisterous two-year-old and a three-month-old baby, Becca was able to offer insight into what makes a really great changing bag that will grow with a family and last for years to come. Over the course of three months, Becca rigorously tested a shortlist of 15 bags before narrowing them down to favourites, some of which we included on this list. We combined all of this research to choose a selection of products that we think offer something for everybody. How we tested: The best changing bags have space for all the baby and toddler paraphenalia you need to carry around. But finding one that you actually like and feel good carrying? That's the holy grail. The stylish mums of the Mumsnet forums are experts on finding the essential baby gear that's designed to look great as well as for practicality. Your baby can use the travel cot well into their third year, so it is worth the investment,” Motherhood Coach and Baby Expert Millie Poppins told us. Your travel cot will serve a purpose until your toddler is too big or old enough to climb out. Are travel cots safe?These days, changing bags come with all sorts of useful functions. We recommend you consider what’s necessary for you and your baby’s needs, then take a look at our list to inspire your choice. We took the advice of Mumsnetters on our forums - real parents who’ve used and rated these bags - alongside trusted online publications. Importantly, we did our own testing of some of these bags, to see how they coped in the real world. Whether you want something budget, stylish, small or all-singing-all-dancing, we hope there’s something on here for everyone. The spill test: We spilt a small amount of milk onto each bag, both inside and out (something that’s sure to happen in the lifetime of any changing bag), then cleaned them up as best we could. We assessed how easily the bag was able to be wiped clean and whether there were any stains or smells left behind. Next, consider its ease of use. Are you after a traditional travel cot comprising a frame and fabric cot, or a pop-up travel cot (which might be lighter but less sturdy)? Is your travel cot compact and easy to fold away? Will it take long to assemble? The travel cots listed in this edit have all been selected for their ease of use. It's also worth mentioning how stylish this bag looks. The on-trend faux fur finish and leather accents give it a modern, sophisticated look that doesn't scream “nappy bag” – and that's exactly what we're after, right? The detachable shoulder strap makes it easy to carry when you're on the go.

A note about milk safety – although some bags are marketed as being able to keep bottles of milk warm for hours on end, we have questions about the safety of this practice. Bacteria loves to grow in warm environments, so keeping a bottle of milk warm for a long period of time seems questionable at best, especially when it’s going to be fed to a vulnerable infant. Cons: The bag is on the expensive side compared to other diaper bags on the market, which may make it less accessible to some parents on a budget. Another potential downside is the size of the bag. While it does offer ample storage space, some customers have found that it is a bit larger than they expected, which can make it more cumbersome to carry around. Key details – Features: Removable changing mat; Bag dimensions: 40 x 14 x 30cm; Washing instructions: Wipe clean onlyIt has a capacity of 23.8 litres but weighs just 750g. This design means it can also double up as a gym bag, school bag or a bag to take on weekend away. Elsewhere, it comes with two stroller hooks, which means you can attach it to a pushchair if you don’t want to carry it.
