Changing bags; if you are not a parent of a small baby then you probably can't comprehend what a minefield a bag could be.
When you are expecting or have a small baby for some reason the right bag with the right compartments can seem really important and look like it can solve your general getting out of the door with everything issue. I was hoping this bag would in fact be the bag that would change me from an "everything crammed into a handbag with soggy tissues in the bottom" mum to "co-ordinated, organised yummy mummy wannabee", sadly it wasn't quite to be.

The bags are available in many different colours and fabrics, so if you are wanting to co-ordinate you are bound to find something to please.
The general premise is that there are plenty of pockets for your your phone, your money and also the inevitable baby paraphernalia. The bag has 10 compartments in all including some inner pockets, I just counted. The bag also has a long strap but also has special clips to enable you to clip onto a buggy; these work well and can be viewed in action at www.skiphop.com, where you will also find other items that skip hop produce.
The pockets seal with velcro, which is a good thing, and a side netting pocket is presumably for bottles, whilst the bag comes with a small change mat and space for nappy bags.
In use though I have to say I did find this bag a rather expensive non-solution to having lots of things to carry with a small baby. The pockets are not very big and I couldn't quite work out what to put in them, and if I did work out which the perfect pocket for a baby toy or that change of clothes was I couldn't actually find the things I needed or remember where they were. In part this can be put down to sleep deprivation and the challenge of having 2 children, but on one memorable occassion I literally spent half an hour failing to find my car keys and eventually calling my husband to come and find me, only to find they were in the bag! The pocket most practical to put a purse in was at the top of the bag and zipped close - which I also didn't feel was very good security wise.
The bag though fairly non-girlie and quite good to look at - for the price the quality of the fabric is actually good and wore well, drove my husband mad, with its black hole properties, he hated it, which is surprising as men don't generally have an opinion about baby bags.
I did use if for a fair while as I felt I needed to justify the price and also I clung on to the hope that I would be more organised. Overall though I think that bar the clip to buggy function I would have been just as well off with a generic ruck sack, oh well you live and you learn!
If you are a first time mum you are probably going to be quite attracted by this bag, and you would be able to co-ordinate it with your buggy, however as a hardened mum of two I probably would say that I could have lived without it and wish that I had spent my money on something much cheaper.
Advantages: Attaches to buggy handles, lots of pockets Disadvantages: Not that roomy, main compartment doesn't close securely
...first changing bag was a Skip Hop duo. I chose it primarily because it strapped over the handles of my buggy and had lots of useful pockets. At full price it was quite expensive (around £50) but I managed to get a discounted navy blue one at Boots for £35. I thought this was an OK price although I do think changing bags are generally a bit too expensive for what they are.
Anyway, there was plenty I liked about it. There are lots of nice designs, ... ...closing bag, and passed my Skip Hop on to my husband for those times when he takes our little one on an outing on their own. This is probably more a reflection on how much stuff I tend to carry around than a criticism of the Skip Hop's size! It's not really suitable for carrying endless books, pairs of sunglasses, tupperware boxes etc, but as a changing bag with a little bit of extra space for your essentials it's fine.
I also still use it myself ...
