What are baby change bags and why do parents need them?
Baby change bags are bags designed specifically for carrying baby items when you have to leave the house. Babies require very specific essentials to keep them clean, happy and well fed. In just a few hours, your baby could require diaper changes, food, water or milk. In a messy situation, they will need to be changed into new clothing that is suitable for the weather. Change bags should therefore be waterproof, spacious and strong enough to carry everything you need for a happy baby on the go. They come in an over-the-shoulder style or in the style of backpack change bags.
What Should I Pack in a Baby Change Bag?
- Diapers & diaper bags
- Wipes & hand sanitisers
- Nappy cream
- Spare bottoms and tops
- Winter or sun hat
- Feeding essentials eg. bottle and formula or breastfeeding cover
- Pacifiers & teethers
- Burp cloths
- Swaddle or baby wrap
- Extra nursing pads
- A few toys to keep them busy
- Small first-aid kit especially for toddlers
Choose a waterproof, travel-friendly baby bag
When shopping for change bags, be sure to choose something that is both waterproof and travel-friendly, as these are the most versatile and will give you best value for money. Are waterproof change bags worth it? The Bubba Bump team says, yes, they definitely are! Considering that good quality diaper change bags are not cheap, the last thing you want is to permanently damage your bag with a nasty spill. If you are going to invest in a durable baby bag, opt for a Bubba Bump change bag made of faux or vegan leather, which is waterproof and eco-friendly. Vegan leather gives you the desirable modern look without any animal cruelty.
Having a mutli-comaprartment backpack change bag that is also travel-friendly allows you to move around easily in your car, by bus or even take a flight with all your baby essentials neatly organised and easy to reach when you need them.
Benefits of a Multi-Compartment Change Bag

- Prevent scratches and spills by keeping items separated
- Have quick access to important items like your phone or a burp cloth in case of emergency
- Makes unpacking and cleaning easier
How Big Should a Change Bag Be for Daily Use?
Every family is different and there is no specific size to conform to when it comes to a newborn change bag. However, you don’t want to carry around something too bulky or too heavy. The ideal diaper change bag is compact yet big enough to neatly hold all your personal and baby essentials from diapers to clothing to snacks.
