A changing bag is a great, practical way to take everything you need with you when you leave home with your child. In fact, any type of storage could serve as a baby changing bag – a regular backpack, a plastic bag or just a cloth bag. The name changing bag comes from the fact that the bag contains everything required to be able to take care of your baby.
A baby changing bag is a special bag intended to contain everything you need when you leave home with your child. The bag must be durable and easy to clean. A good changing bag contains several different types of pockets and storage compartments and usually also has a good solution for attaching the bag to a pushchair handle.
Exactly what to pack depends, of course, on what your own child needs. So if you bottle feed, you’ll need baby bottles, while older children may need a bib and a drinking cup and small babies with reflux need many changes of clothes. A good set of basic contents in a changing bag for a newborn baby includes two changes of clothes, 5-6 nappies, a few small towels, bags for dirty nappies or garments, a pack of wet wipes and an extra dummy or favourite blanket.
For the most part, it's all about design and appearance when choosing a baby changing bag. Most people choose a bag because they think it’s nice and because it matches their pushchair. But in some cases there may be reasons to choose one particular changing bag over others. Pushchair manufacturers often also have baby changing bags in their range of accessories. Some pushchair models may have integrated brackets for these bags on their handles, which can make it easier to use them.
Most baby changing bags are more or less the same size. A normal-sized bag easily holds all you need for one child, if we assume that consists of nappies, a few changes of clothes, toys, wet wipes and perhaps a toiletry bag with medicines, plasters and ointments. If you need to carry enough for two babies, if you have twins or siblings of similar ages, then you should consider buying a double baby changing bag.
