Advantages: Easy to carry.

Disadvantages: Doesn't last 5 minutes.

When our daughter was first born, we browsed around Mothercare searching for every possible accessory which would accopamny baby on her many travels. We had bought the Sorrento pushchair (now relegated to the back of the garage 20 months later, but that's another story.) So, the "Sorrento" changing bag seemed an obvious choice, at a reasonable price.

The bag has quite a long, adjustable strap, which is easy enough to carry, or to place on the back of your pushchair. It has 4 pockets at the front, useful for putting drinks or snacks in. A nice touch is the matching key ring, which doubles up as a purse.

However, this bag has now more or less fell apart after about 18 months of use. The inside lining has ripped and started to fall out, and the material looks very worn, dirty and shabby, although we have washed it several times.

My advice is to look very carefully before you choose a changing bag. Remember, you will be using it most days, every day of the week, in all weather conditions. One with a section which keeps your bottles warm or cold would be ideal. And, also: you get what you pay for. Our friends bought a Baby Bjorn bag, which, after 2 years of use, still looks like new.
