Wanted - Nappy Bag that is practical but doesnt "look" like a Nappy Bag!!

[AnnaBelle]

Belfie,

No worries about the hijack I am as clueless as you and that is a good question to ask - what is important to look for in a nappy bag????
I dont know why but having a nice looking nappy bag is important to me maybe its to still say to the world "hey I am a Mum but I can still look stylish!!!"

I am liking the storksak - going to check one out for real and then maybe try and track the cheapest one on the net. Any good sites recommended???

For me the important things are:
* lots of pockets for nappies, wipes, creams etc plus one to fit my wallet
* change pad because I don't like to use ones in the shops, so I put mine on top
* external pocket for my mobile so I don't have to dig through the bag when it rings
* d ring or hook of some sort so my keys don't end up in the bottom buried
* cooler section for drinks when they get bigger (or for bottles if you FF)
* a strap that will fit properly onto the pram
* and of course something that looks great

Oroton do a really nice one which is generally about $100 if you can find an outlet store

I can't add anything to Sarah's list - my Vanchi (the green one) has all of those things - and it wears well too. It comes with a bottle holder thingy and one for dummies that is great. I use the bottle one for jars of food to take out and Im has a dummy so the dummy holder gets used. The exterior pockets are gareat for lippy and mobile phone.

Oh yes, I forgot about that. A dummy holder is also really good. My current bag doesn't have one but my old one did. I'm thinking of buying a "Paci Pod" for Juliette's dummies cos they keep getting lost.

the green Vanchi? The green messenger one? *drools slightly* and it does everything you need in a Nappy Bag? Ooooh! Thanks Flowerchild and thanks Sarah_H for a great list, I think you've just confirmed another item to buy!

*accidentally leaves VanChi site up for DH to see...*

And AnnaBelle, totally agree with the "hey I am a Mum but I can still look stylish!!!" comment!

I haven't bought one yet, but Baby Co had nice looking nappy bags that were really cheap, like $25 or something. They also had larger ones that fold out and can store a heap of stuff, they were more expensive but still under $100.

I don't know what brand they were, and they weren't patent leather or anything, but they looked good to me. Then again, I haven't had any actual hands on experience with nappy bags so please correct me if you know otherwise (please do, or I'll probably end up buying one of these bags).
