Caboodle changing bag

Advantages: Space! Washable
Disadvantages: None - only fault was mine (see review)

...When we bought our pram we wanted a practical changing bag that matched (the pram was a dark blue). The sales assistant showed us a Caboodle bag and we were impressed by the space and numerous pockets. ****Our Caboodle bag***** We went for the deep navy which is plain and simple (no fussy pattern on the front). It has a large strap which can easily be adjusted. The bag has a zip fastening and also a large flap which covers the front of the bag. Inside there are 3 pockets on one side which when our daughter was small were perfect for holding nappies. There was also an insulated side pocket (perfect for bottles) and a large pocket at the back (i used that for my bits!) At the front of the bag (underneath the large flap) was a phone holder, small built in purse and pen holder. Our bag came with a washable change mat (which felt slightly...

Review of Caboodle Changing Bag

One bag to rule them all.

Advantages: Loads of pockets.
Disadvantages: none really.

...of the bag to keep the base flat. The back has four exterior pockets, two small elasicated on the narrow sides of the bag and two large flat pockets on the large sides of the bag. One of these is a zip entry and is lined with wet proof material, great for dirty bibs or soiled clothes as it can be wiped clean. The whole bag has one large flap that covers it, this has the design on it. You'll be suprised how much you can fit into the bag, i fit everything i need for an overnight stay for two babies in it and although it is bulky its better than having two or three shopping bags of stuff to carry around. When its empty the bag is very light and can be squashed up so you can stuff it in the cupboared. The caboodle bag comes with a changing mat which is bigger than most travel changing mats I've seen, it's about the same size as as you...

Review of Caboodle Changing Bag

Bag for men :)

Advantages: isswizz
Disadvantages: can be used for lady folk

...This bag is a requisite for any man who is a Topman regular shopper, any man who is looking for a fashionable feel, and any man lacking a new gym or work bag. (it fits over 4 A4 folders) This does all of this, for under £20. It may not give the notion of being like a large bag, on the contrary, rest assured, it has a tardis like affect, and is bigger on the interior with almost 10 additional compartments. Made from leather this bag suits all you needs, from gym to work, luggage to high street. Fantastically good purchase. Apart from its dazzling fashion as an icon, this bag can also be used professionally in the office or carrying a laptop, one of the uses i use it for. so, watever your choice f its usage, you should use it, five star rating from me and from many others....

Review of Caboodle Smart Weekender Changing Bag

Avent kitbag rucksack change bag

Advantages: Room for everything and looks great
Disadvantages: Expensive

...This baby change bag is great! It is a stylish looking black rucksack which doesn't look mummyish at all! The main rucksack has plenty of room for all essentials: change of clothes, dirty clothes, toys, lunch etc. There is a zipped pocket inside and some mesh pockets. There is a coolbag section to keep bottles in and it keeps it cool for the whole day. The bottom section has a changing mat in and I also keep my baby wipes and three nappies in there too. Also a zipped front pocket for things that you need to get quickly. A laundry bag and change mat are included in this and the laundry bag has been very useful! It has a zip so you can expand it for that little bit of extra room! It is nice to carry and as I didn;t have a car when I had my daughter I was always on foot and carried all my things everywhere with me. So...

Review of Avent Changing Bag

The Rolls Royce of changing bags

Advantages: thoughtful design and good looks
Disadvantages: very expensive

...This is the Rolls Royce of changing bags - stylish, built to last, very expensive, but when only the best will do... I treated myself to this after winning some vouchers in a competition - at nearly #60 it wasn't the kind of thing I would have chosen under normal circumstances. In fact, it's hard to see how it justifies this kind of price tag from anyone who's got to pay for it themselves, but it is extremely well designed and made. It has two separate main compartments, with a rigid central spine - useful for separating the basic functions of eating and changing (whatever most department stores are thinking when they offer you a smelly nappy-changing room to feed your baby, these two don't mix any more pleasantly for babies than the rest of us). You can access these sides with separate zips, and they flap down to reveal...

Review of Baby Bjorn Changing Bag

Coming Apart at the Seams

Advantages: Good size bag with lots of pockets, nice changing mat included
Disadvantages: Coming apart at the seams. Quite expensive

...The Caboodle Bag is a changing bag which is big enough to hold everything you need when out and about with baby. It has lots of pockets, a large main area which can be zipped up and covered with a large flap. Also included with the bag is a large padded changing mat. The bag's listed size is 15" x 12" x 5" or 38 x 30 x 12 cm. (photo is attached). It comes in 3 designs, plain navy blue, plain black and an elephant design in navy blue (quite cute) but if you have a girl these designs are probably not very appealing. The outside is made mainly of cotton which has a polyester lining that has probably been sewn into it by a bored teenager in needlework class. It is also supposed to be fully washable but I'm frightened if I do that it will fall apart. We bought ours from the caboodle web-site (www.caboodlebags.co.uk) for £19.99. I...

Review of Caboodle Changing Bag

The Tardis of all baby changing bags

Advantages: A stylish bag with a place for everything
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

...Avent is a name I have come to trust over the last 13 months since the birth of my son. Their products are well respected and have proved to be reliable and effective. The Avent kitbag stood up to the company?s reputation and has not disappointed me. I got a free baby changing bag with the travel system I purchased which seemed adequate until the first time I ventured out with my new baby. Now if you are a mother already, you will know the following information but if not here is a quick run down of some of the things you may need on and outing with a young baby: - Nappies, baby wipes, changing mat, nappy sacks, nappy rash cream, change of clothing including vests and socks, muslin cloths, bibs, milk (if not breastfeeding), rattle, dummy, hat???.the list is endless! It soon became apparent that the ?free? bag was not up to the job...

Review of Avent Changing Bag

Pockets for everything

Advantages: Large, pockets everywhere!, huge mat, machine washable
Disadvantages: zip breaks easily, could do with thermal bottle pockets

...I am very pleased with my Caboodle Changing Bag. I have a larger than average baby and to begin with I had Tommee Tippee Winnie the Pooh Rucksack (see separate opinion)which had a teeny weeny changing mat. The Caboodle bag is so much easier to find things in, it really does have a pocket for everything, nappies, dummies, calpol sachets, bottles. The changing mat is fantastic, absolutely huge. The main advantage to this bag is the fact that everything is machine washable - exactly what you need with baby! The only drawback is that it would be useful if it had thermal bottle pockets to keep boiled water warm. Also the zip on my bag didn't last very long at all before it broke completely....

Review of Caboodle Changing Bag

Changing bag for Mummies AND Daddies! (Mutsy Nursery Bag)

Advantages: Well designed. Great range of styles/colours. Expandable storage.
Disadvantages: Poor changing mat.

...Having decided the purchase of a Mutsy branded pushchair, the obvious choice of baby changing bag was the co-ordinating Mutsy bag. I did feel however that the Mutsy bag looked quite masculine & resembled a school satchel rather than a change bag. After browsing around at other change bags, I came upon the notion that most change bags look quite feminine & that it may be a wiser decision after all to go for the Mutsy bag...this way hubby would have no grounds for refusal of carrying it based on the opinion of it looking 'too girly'. As I read more into the Mutsy bag, I realised that it also has a useful 'clip' feature on the reverse, allowing it to attach easily to the back of the Mutsy pushchair. So, it was a done deal. Onto the bag itself. The bag comes in a huge array of colours, to match all the different styles & colours of Mutsy...

Review of Mutsy Pram Bag

A Baby Bag with high expectations

Advantages: It is waterproof, hard wearing, durable and stylish
Disadvantages: Very expensive and not that big for all the little extra's

...*****Baby Bjorn Changing Bag***** For anyone due to have a baby, a changing bag is a necessity for the next year or more of your child?s life. I have been blessed with three wonderful children and also had the honour of owning three different types of baby changing bags. My first child had a bag that matched with his pram from Mamas and Papa?s, but the bag lining split so was sent to the recycling centre. My second child?s bag came from Argos, nothing special just cheap and cheerful but it lasted a good year before that too made the recycling centre. My daughter?s bag was a gift and it was the Baby Bjorn changing bag which I still have today and after 4 years, it looks pretty good. The BB is the Rolls Royce of nappy bags as it costs a hefty £50 plus. Is it worth the money or a waste of credit card funds? Read...
