Baby Changing bags (sometimes called maternity bags) are something that before you have a baby you don't really think about. The http://www.4little1s.com/acatalog/Maternity_Changing_Bags.htmlof the time, you find out that you need a changing bag once baby has arrived and you suddenly realise just how much stuff is needed when you venture out.

Once your little bundle of joy arrives, going out is a new experience! Even a visit to the supermarket to buy some milk can feel like a military exercise in terms of equipment and the timing of the event. Nappies - Check, Bottle - Check, Baby powder - Check, Baby wipes - Check, Spare clothes for baby - Check, Changing Mat - Check........the list goes on.

This is where a Baby Changing Bag comes in to help matters as they not only offer a great practical bag with lots of useful compartments and pockets to store all of this baby equipment into, they also double up as a stylish portable changing mat.

There are many changing bag brands available and a variety of styles, prices, colours and designs. Our tip is to consider not only the style but the practicality of the changing bag, a bag that looks good when you are out but not many pockets or big enough to carry anything is not really a changing bag is it ! Clearly, there is no need to be taking a suitcase out to the shops to carry all the items needed for baby on your outing, or some kind of industrial carrier bag, just consider what you are actually looking to achieve with your changing bag. Also consider your changing bag purchase carefully in terms of comfort. It is likely you will be carrying your changing bag around a fair amount of the time, so make sure the strap feels good and is actually strong enough. A broken strap in the supermarket is not a good look, although I am sure baby will find it funny watching mummy scrabble around on the floor picking up all those really interesting baby things !

Samsonite is a well known brand that has been around for years and not only make changing bags but other types of quality bags and cases. Samsonite is known for its quality, robustness
and great design when it come to bags, and this is no exception when it comes to their offering of changing and maternity bags.

It is so much simpler and easier to have a baby changing bag for your visits to the outside world and you can put all the items you need all into one bag with it doubling up as a changing mat is a bonus. When you do decide to go out, trying to find all the necessary items together can take ages, having a changing bag to store all the baby items needed for a 'change' or
other event makes it just that little but easier on everyone. 'GRAB AND GO'

Trying to fit all the necessary baby items into you own handbag or juggle them under your arm is just not going to happen, lets face it, as it is not practical and unless you have a large handbag, a squeeze to say the least. You did pack the changing mat in your handbag.....right ? A changing bag is more practical and simpler.

Here are some more tips and advice around deciding which type of changing bag to go for.

1. Make sure they are a good size for your needs. A small compact changing bag maybe good for a quick visit to the shops to buy a pint of milk and you can simply slip it over your shoulder. However a longer trip out you may need to consider a changing bag with a little more space and compartments.

2. Think about the colour of your changing bag as it may not always be you that carries the bag around. Quite often your partner may be carrying it for you. While it may be quite humorous seeing your partner carrying a flowery pink changing bag, I'm sure they won't relish the idea.

3. Robustness needs to be considered, this bag is going to have a hard time. It's not easy being a changing bag. Changing bags get thrown into cars, sometime a little leakage from a bottle containing milk and gets exposed to a whole host of all sorts of 'materials'. Make sure your changing bag can withstand the harshest of treatments.

4. Check out the compartments for bottles and space generally. You want to be able to use this changing bag for a couple of years so don't select a bag that doesn't have sufficient space. Generally when looking for a changing bag, look for lots of compartments and a single large space.

5. Style and design - There are so many different styles and designs of changing bags it can be hard to know which bag to go for. Our tip is to choose one that your partner will feel happy carrying, both in colour and design. There are a wide number of unisex changing bags around, have a look at the Samsonite 360 range if you are looking to have the changing bag double up as a laptop bag as well !

6. Brands such as Samsonite have all the features you’ve come to expect from a well known quality bag company. Internal pockets help you find all you need without having to dig, while bottle pockets, mobile pocket and do not forget the dummy pocket.

7. Look for a baby changing bag that can be attached to a pram or stroller to free up your hands a little via a pram loop or pram holder. Even if the changing bag you are looking at does not have a loop, work out if you would be able to attach it via the strap or other means. This is just a very practical and very simple hoop or hook but worth its wieight in gold.
