My nappy bag has replaced my handbag, these last ten months. I have gone from a big bag that could fit everything but the baby bath inside, to a Reebok yoga bag for convenience, until I tore it, and now I have myself a new nappy bag: the Ju Ju Be All Navy Berry, and for once, even my husband doesn’t mind carrying it.
This machine-washable, anti-bacterial baby changing bag comes with a separate changing mat, memory foam filled shoulder straps, metal features and insulated bottle holders – perfect for keeping milk temperate.
The simple, understated colour and design is ideal for dads, particularly, or mums who don’t really want to walk around with baby pastels and patterns slung over their shoulders.
My favourite features of this bag are the mesh pockets, which make it easier to find things and the bright satin linings which improve visibility – no more peering in to the dark interiors of a bottomless pit! Another favourite is the zipped cover – perfect for storing documents or a notebook, and the fact that it is waterproof means your documents don’t get wet while you stand in the queue for the council offices to buy your parking permit!
As this Ju Ju Be looks quite compact from the outside, it has a surprising amount of space, with the central area big enough for at least ten big reusable nappies (so a fair few more disposables), and a parent’s pouch with space for sunglasses, mobile phone, comes with a stretchy key leash and additional storage for change and make-up.
Closing is done quickly and quietly with magnets instead of velcro.
The benefits of this lovely nappy bag far outweigh the few drawbacks it does have:
– the strap tends to bunch up causing the bag to hang skew, but this can be rectified easily enough
– the ‘photo gallery’ seems a pointless feature: if you have the nappy bag with you, you probably have the baby so easy access card slots for library cards, swimming club cards or parking tickets would have been more useful.
The bag has D rings to which BeConnected Stroller Clips attach (can be bought separately), but should fit on any stroller without clips too.
