About a year ago, just before our youngest was born, my wife returned home with a changing bag. At the time I’d been doing the stay at home dad thing for about 18 months and we both knew that I’d be looking after the baby when her maternity leave came to an end.
Unfortunately this vital fact had no influence on her decision whatsoever. The changing bag she returned home with looked like some kind of Channel knock-off.
With huge reluctance I used the bag for several months. Until, that is, I was introduced to Changingbag.co.uk.
The thing I like about this site is that it caters for dads as well as mums and the product range for both genders is very broad. It also has something for every price range and in every material from oiled cotton to leather.
My choice was the Diaper Dude Messenger II costing £69.99. This one is made of hard-wearing man-made materials. You wear it over your bag like a courier’s satchel and it is very comfortable, practical and better than the bag it replaces.
There are individual pockets for nappies and wipes so you need never lose them. There’s also a changing mat and several other pockets for storing items plus an insulated pocket for storing a baby’s bottle that’s come in very handy.
There are all manner of products on changingbags.co.uk including back packs, basic change stations and also a specialist range of bags should you have twins. Delivery is free on orders over £50.
I’m pleased to say my wife has become a fan of this site. I’m hoping this means we can avoid a repetition of the earlier changing bag incident.Â
