In Search of the Perfect Nappy Bag
Right now I’m in search of the perfect nappy bag. I’m not having a lot of luck, what I want is….
- A big enough compartment to hold a small potty (about 15cm square although it’s basically a round bowl that looks a bit like a top hat), nappies, change mat, wipes etc
- Weather proof - so a flap over the top is good for that
- Tip over & toddler proof/resistant - ie a zipper top so that everything doesn’t just fall out when it tips over
- A nice colour - for me this would be something bright, but probably not patterned
- Other compartments so that the potty is separate to clothes, snacks etc
- Drink holder on the outside for a waterbottle (but not on the inside in case it leaks)
- Long strap and/or way to attach to the pram
- Durable
My last 2 nappy bags have failed on being a nice colour (both black), and one was not at all durable.
My current one is a nice bright yellow Koha messenger bag, but it doesn’t zip closed so stuff falls out all the time when it tips over.
Things that I don’t need
- Places to put baby bottles
- Built in change mat
You wouldn’t think it was so much to ask for really!
Update: What I got in the end is an orange leather OiOi Hobo bag. It’s capacious and pretty, the only thing it lacks is the weather proofing flap over the zip but so far so good and it hasn’t leaked.
