Advantages: Roomy and easy to carry

Disadvantages: Not massively stylish

Eight months ago I decided to go for a black rucksack from Mothercare for my baby bag. It cost £30 and is still available in the catalogue.

I was given the free Pampers / Boots bag but I decided not to use it as it didn't look big enough and I thought everyone else would have it. I did look at a very expensive one in Blooming Marvelous (leather and £140) but I decided against it due to price, my husband wouldn't be able to carry it and I fancied a rucksack that I could just put on my back. I have a Bugaboo pram that was given to me and I decided the bag that fits with the pram was again, too expensive.
So what do I think of the bag I went for.. well it's great.

It has a very roomy main compartment with lots of side pockets. In the main compartment there is also a portable changing mat and a resealable bag for wipes. It can easily cope with a full days kit. It has two front pcokets . One which I store nappies and nappy bags in adn the other which is meant to be a pocket for wipes but I use it as a mobile phone and keys pocket. There are two side pockets. One is insulated to carry a bottle (I never used it as I breast fed) and in the other I keep a collection of pens, medicine, comb etc.

All in all it is a really roomy bag that is really easy to carry. I always have both hands free. It is unisex so the husband is happy to carry it and it is not too expensive. It is also easy to wipe down if it gets dirty. Despite being a Mothercare bag I've only seen one other mum with it. I'm still glad I got it.

Summary: Rucksack style baby bag - good value
