Five changing bags/diaper bags that are also backpacks

Soon after I gave birth to Georgie I remember how phenomenally impossible it was to find a nappy bag or diaper bag or changing bag or whatever you want to call it.

Here was an item I was supposed to carry around with me all the time and yet I wouldn’t go anywhere near most of them even if you paid me. Sorry but Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and other woodland creatures are not the type of bag style I like. So five years ago I made do with a plain shoulder bag. Definitely not very practical but I managed. I breastfed Georgie exclusively so not having to carry bottles and other stuff made the world of difference.
