Am a HUGE Storksak fan, and totally love mine! No flowers and frills so very unisex, excellent quality, most of the bags I have seen in their range are very spacious and practical, and they do not look like a baby/changing bag, which is a bonus :) I bought mine in John Lewis in the UK, I don't think you can get it here though?! Pricey, but well worth every cent!

i was really keen on the storsak but it is just too expensive. i bought the melobaby all in one nappy wallet and changing mat and going to buy me a bag i really want and just pop the melobaby in there. The melobaby is available on bubs boutique online.

We bought one of the larger Skip Hop bags from Bumblee in the Dubai Mall. Lots of storage and a compartment in the button with a removable insulted bag for lo's food. A huge added bonus is having straps to secure and hand it from the stroller. Wouldn't buy a bag without that feature.

I bought a Pacapod. I'm yet to use it as LO isn't due until September, but I've managed to pack all the baby's things for hospital in it - which is pretty good. I like all the organisational pockets, so it works for me.

I am still on the lookout for one. i found them either to be too bulky or no tin black colour(with the pram) or too expensive! found one very nice backpack which is actually a baby bag only as it has changing mat inside and zips completely to the front. i saw it in babyshop in the teens section.it can also be worn as a backpack or messenger bag or simply handbag. Lassig brand. but it was too brown colour :( i think i should go and buy that only now if i don't get any other within few days. currently just toting my large handbag as a diaper bag :\:

Although I got 4 lovely loking change bags as gifts, I use a little steamlined sporty backpack that I used to use for yoga. It's great as the whole front side zips down and I carry a small nappy changing Matt that holds cream/nappy/nappy sack etc, that I can just grab out if I need to pop to a change room. A lunch size chiller bag for my LOs food, a change of clothes for my LO and a few toys. I hang a tommee tipper bottle bag off the side for his water For easy access (that can also fit inside the bag) It has a handy pocket on the front that fits my phone/keys/wallet and everything is easy to find. I love it as the straps hang easily hooked on any of my pram handles, and it's easy to wear if I'm carrying my LO on my hip. Also my DH doesn't mind carrying it at all. I would definitely look for something similar again. Many friends have copied the idea, and have commented on how functional it is, and wondered why they struggled with big changing bags. Maybe something similar would work for you too?

I have two. The one I use I dislike but it was a gift from the in-laws! :( I am selling one on the classifieds, I never used it but it is a lot more practical than the one I use. Black, lots of compartments and a good size. Don't buy the Pickle Bottom ones (the one I must keep) from Pottery Barn or Destination Maternity as they are really annoying, even though they look lovely. There's not enough space and it's hard to access the main compartment quickly as there is a super strong velcro flap over the top and then a zip and the front compartment is good for nothing but the useless change mat it comes with!! <em>edited by sparkly on 23/07/2012</em>
