This gorgeous baby changing bag by Cosyland features a large central compartment and 14 organisable compartments to help you carry all your essentials and a whole lot more when you’re on the move. Although when its attached to the handle of a lightweight travel buggy, beware that it might cause the buggy to topple backwards when there is no baby in the buggy to counter the weight. The Forma features a roomy main compartment with a changing pad and a couple of pockets and two insulated bottle pockets on the sides.

For the purposes of this list, I did not test diaper totes, messenger bags, diaper clutches or portable changing stations. Original design by BabbleRoo - This is a changing bag full of details designed for parents with babies. If you find most changing bags too heavy or bulky you may well love the simplicity of the slim Joolz backpack.

We’d also have preferred the removable insulated bottle holder to have a zipped opening rather than a drawstring. The shoulder straps are soft and comfy but quite slim and not heavily padded, so we wouldn’t use this rucksack for heavy loads or for hiking, but it’s comfortable enough for a day out and works well when worn with baby in a sling. The removable soother pod attached to the D-ring fits 2 pacifiers, keeps the pacifiers clean and easily reachable.

We loved the wide magnetic pocket on the front for quickly grabbing essentials, the large wipe-clean pocket which is ideal for storing dirty nappies and the phone pocket complete with motivational message.The main compartment is roomy and well-organized, with six pockets, two insulated bottle warmers and seven more compartments and pockets around the outside of the bag. I love the wipe pocket on the side of the back with a hole to just pull the wipes out one at a time rather than having to get the whole packet out each time. Exterior pockets are always helpful for keeping small items like teethers, cell phones and keys handy and within reach.

Vegan leather and synthetic materials derived from recycled plastic bottles make this an eco-friendly pick, and we like that the outer material is water-repellent, so rain needn’t stop play if you’re out exploring with your little one. However, I haven't used it for long enough to say if it would dig into your shoulders after a while. Where this bag stands out is its clever design: When you open that main compartment, it can stay open on its own, and, like the Forma, it stands up on its own, too. You may be wondering why you can’t just use your favourite rucksack for all your baby’s essentials, and the answer is that you absolutely can in a pinch.

Plentiful space makes this cuddly bag double up nicely as an overnight bag if you’re taking baby on their first holiday, or for use as a hospital or gym bag.

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. We wanted a bag with maximum compartment space that is practical and ergonomic, while being affordable and stylish.There’s a great range of pockets in intuitive places, and we reckon this is the best changing bag we tested for getting organised and finding essentials easily on the go. Think about what your typical week with a baby might look like (harder said than done before your first arrives, I know): Will you mostly be throwing a bag in the car and driving to visit family, run errands or do a daycare drop-off? It has enough space to hold items in an organised way so you can easily find what you're looking for, all the pockets are great.
