New Cool Baby Changing Bags

One of the biggest maternity style trends has been the adoption of cool baby changing bags by expectant moms and new moms. Gone are the days when mums would place baby paraphenalia into whichever bag they had close by. Having a matching “pram bag” is also no longer popular – gorgeous baby changing bags which compete with the latest fashion bags are the key look today.

These new styles of baby changing bags hold their own in the fashion stakes yet are robust and large enough to be a practical option. When you are choosing a baby change bag you need to bear in mind that this is an investment buy which should not only see you through your baby’s early days but still be around for any later additions to the family. But when you’ve finished using your bag to carry baby items, the best baby changing bag will convert effortlessly into all purpose designer bag.

When you’re choosing your new baby change bag there are several key style points you need to be aware of:

Materials – you are no longer restricted to “wipe-clean vinyl” – the new range of baby change bags include tactile fabric and bold prints. Leather is the hottest trend at the moment and a leather baby diaper bag will not only turn heads but age well and withstand the rough and tumble of the early days.

Accessories – the new style of bags include lots of accessories to make life easier for the new mum, but which can be removed when the time for fashion bag conversion arrives! Co-ordinating travel wipe holders, changing mats and insulated holders for liquids or food are handy accessories you cannot afford to be without.

One brand which has cornered the market in style and practicality is OI OI. OIOI first hit the scene with their unique Hobo baby change bag which has become a classic style in its own right. Finishing up the range this season are the messenger bag (which makes a perfect bag for Dads) and the roomy carry-all. OIOI make careful selection of fabrics including patent leather, wool and microfibre. The standout addition this season though has to be the chestnut leather Hobo.This is a lovely diaper bag in snakeskin printed leather with chunky metal hardware and adjustable shoulder strap. Effortlessly stylish it combines the best in practical design but the cool features mean it is a perfect baby changing bag for stylish mamas.
