10 best baby changing bags to keep you and your baby organised in style

Uber stylish with a designer look, we simply couldn’t wait until the baby was here to start using this bag, so it doubled as a work bag for weeks. Finished in soft leather at the front and sides, and practical nylon at the back, it’s surprisingly light for its size and can be easily wiped clean.

Aside from its beautiful look, its best feature is its convertible straps. They slide seamlessly from backpack mode to an over-the-shoulder option in one easy motion, and without the faff of adjusting loops or attaching a separate strap.

Its large main compartment holds loads, including a 15-inch laptop, and it has eight handy pockets, including two hidden side pockets with zips, one of which is insulated for keeping bottles warm or cold. It also comes with a sizable changing mat and stroller straps.

Practical and pretty, we had lots of compliments while wearing this and know we will be using it beyond changing nappies.

This surprisingly large bag from trendy Swedish brand Elodie Details is a simple, sleek offering for parents looking for a no-fuss option. Its lightweight and flexible shell means it can be folded flat and stored away easily when not in use.

The sturdy, long straps wrap around the entire bag, so there are no concerns about them giving way under the weight of its contents. It also comes with stroller straps, so you can attach it to your buggy. The smooth polyester surface is easily cleaned in the event of spillages, and, when you’re not using it as a changing bag, it makes a great gym or weekend bag.

It has a built-in thermo pocket to keep milk upright and at the right temperature, plus a machine-washable, water-resistant changing mat, making it great value for money.

Very lightweight but without compromising on space, this backpack has a super-sized central compartment and plenty of inside pockets to keep everything in its designated space.

There are four internal pockets, including two that are insulated and a second larger zip pocket with a waterproof lining that’s ideal for keeping wet clothes separate. It also has a large front pocket that wraps around the bag, perfect for stuffing items in when you’re in a rush. Plus, the top inside zip pocket has an adorable “You’re doing great” message to provide a daily confidence boost.

Its straps are sturdy and wide, distributing weight evenly across your back and making it comfortable to wear. And it easily converts from a backpack to a shoulder bag for an alternative way of wearing. It also comes with a removable insulated bottle holder for keeping drinks at the right temperature and a foldable wipe-clean changing mat.

If there was a prize for the prettiest interior, then the dainty floral pattern of Avery Row’s holdall would win it. The soft, quilted exterior, made from organic cotton canvas, has a luxury feel and its extra-large size makes it a great hospital bag option, too.

The wide, adjustable and removable shoulder strap makes it comfortable to wear as a shoulder bag or across the body, and the brass metal fastenings have a weighty, quality feel. Its large main compartment holds everything you need for a day out or evening away, and then some, and the two elasticated internal side pockets are great for storing nappies and wipes, or for preventing smaller items from getting lost.

For those concerned about the soft material of the bag getting stained, fret not, as it can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

Another bag that flies under the radar and doesn’t scream “baby changing bag”, Kaos’s unisex design is sure to be a hit with dads too. It has a hard-wearing, canvas-feel exterior with a large top opening, which means you’re not battling to get things in and out.

It’s packed with seven pockets, and while none of them is insulated, its other features make up for that missing element. We loved the magnetic closings for quick and easy access, without the faff of poppers or the noise of Velcro that could wake a sleeping baby.

It’s made from 24 PET bottles from recycled waste, with vegan leather detailing on the straps so you can feel good about doing your bit for the planet. It comes in a range of colours too.

If you’re looking for fashion and comfort in one, then consider the Lola. Its padded back and cushioned shoulder straps make it super easy to wear all day, while its spacious interior and large zip opening make stowing things away easy. It has seven pockets to keep you organised and the large front pocket is handy for quick access to your keys and phone.

It comes with a removable insulated bottle holder, which can also double as a handy drawstring bag to store used nappies when there are no bins in sight. It’s worth noting that we found the stroller straps were quite tight around the handlebar and fell off a few times, so they may not be suitable for all models.

The vegan leather exterior is wipe clean and kinder to nature, making it ideal for eco-conscious parents looking for a cruelty-free option.

More of a caddy than a bag due to its lack of closings to keep things secure on the go, this is a lovely option for a nursery, lounge changing station or for keeping things organised in your car.

The neutral colour and soft teddy fabric will add a bit of plush luxury to any setting. It has two removable internal dividers that secure in place with Velcro, two large side pockets and two smaller central compartments next to the carry straps to help you keep things tidy.

Sleek and fashionable, this lovely tote is sure to be a hit with stylish parents. Big enough to double as a hospital or weekend bag, it’s spacious but not bulky, and can be carried bowling-bag style or over the shoulder with the detachable strap.

It fits comfortably underneath even smaller-framed pushchairs or can hang from one by using the buggy clips. The ingenious inclusion of a trolley sleeve makes for easy travelling – simply hook it over a wheelie suitcase handle with ease. There are so many pockets – six of them are even insulated, to keep milk bottles and food fresher for longer.

The textured saffiano vegan leather finish means the bag is hard-wearing and doesn’t mark easily.

Small but mighty, don’t let its paired down size put you off. Just big enough to fit an outfit change, a few nappies, wipes, your purse and phone, this stroller bag is a great option for parents looking for a compact option.

It attaches to your pushchair with Velcro straps to hang snuggly from the handlebar without getting in your way or swinging back and forth as some larger bags often do. Its adjustable strap means it can be worn across the body or as a shoulder bag, in a long or short style, and its smooth leather finish and weighty metal fastenings give it a luxurious feel. Two retractable side pockets are each big enough to hold a bottle, and a slim front pocket will keep your phone separate.

The understated style makes this changing bag perfect for a nice lunch or evening out – either with or without baby. For those looking for a matching set, it pairs well with the brand’s St James backpack.

Packing for the hospital is a breeze with this large holdall on wheels. It comes with an ingenious built-in hanging organiser, meaning there’s no need to unpack your things at the other end – simply hang them up and you have a wardrobe on the go.

It has two large internal elasticated pockets, ideal for keeping personal items to hand, and a smaller Velcro external pocket near the grab handles for easy access to your keys and purse.

It also has eco credentials, having been made from recycled materials, meaning it’s not only green but the material is hard wearing and durable, and has a wipe-clean interior.

The retractable pull handle runs smooth and doesn’t stick, making it easy to operate with one hand for those also wrangling a stroller or a toddler at the same time.
