There’s no doubt about it, the Jennie Changing bag makes life as a mum easier. Our panel of mum testers raved about the multiple compartments, the changing mat and the elegant tote bag look. It’s also a really reasonable price.
What they say:
“The Jennie Travel Changing Bag is the perfect changing bag, big enough for everything you need, but looks super stylish. The beauty of this bag is you have a pocket on the back that slips over the handles of your suitcase, making it super easy to travel with, especially as it keeps your hands free for you baby or toddlers. Our baby changing mat fits neatly inside the pockets, and the buggy clips allow your changing bag to fit nicely on the handles of your buggy. You'll find our unique interior with multiple pockets, zips, clips and extra bags, means you never have to dig for a missing key or dummy again.”

Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would recommend this product because I literally love it and I have already told everyone I could think of about it. It has made everything much easier and I wish I had got one seven months ago when my baby was born. It is great value for money - absolutely worth every penny.
How did this product make your life easier?
The Jennie changing bag has space for everything. The changing mat that comes with the bag has pockets for nappies inside, which saves space in the actual bag. You get a little bag inside which I have been using for my own bits and bobs (saves it all getting lost in the actual bag). You also get another clear bag which is great for creams or make up, and a clip for your keys, which makes my life easier as I was forever losing my keys in my changing bag. Also, the slit on the back means you can pop it over a suitcase handle very easily. Personally, I travel to London a lot to see family so this will be very useful.
Would you choose this product to win?
100%. To be honest I do not like spending a fortune on changing bags and most that are a lot of money are definitely not worth it and tend to be a lot smaller inside than you thought. In contrast, this Jennie changing bag is definitely worth the £59.99 that the company are asking for, it is very spacious inside and can fit everything I need and more.
What changes would you make to this product?
The only thing that I would improve on this product is the small straps that you use to hook the bag to your pram. For some reason these are not compatible with my pram and just slip down the frame, but this may not be the same for everyone!

Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would recommended this bag to friends, especially those who travel a lot, as this is quite a large bag so ideal to keep plenty of baby supplies within easy reach. With all the little compartments and bags you get with it, it's so easy to stay organized so you can easily keep your little one entertained on long trips.
How did this product make your life easier?
I love all the little sections to keep all my stuff to hand. Since using this product I no longer have to rummage through my bag looking for things in a mad panic (like wipes when the baby has spilt something). The changing mat is amazing, so convenient to be able to keep nappies and wipes all in the one place.
Would you choose this product to win?
This product would most definitely be in my top three, one thing that stands out is the changing mat and the pockets to keep wipes and nappies all in one place which makes it super easy to grab and go when baby needs changing. I also like the clip inside that attaches nicely to my purse so I can always find it with ease. I think this bag should win as a lot of thought has gone into what mums actually need in a changing bag.
What changes would you make to this product?
One thing I'd change about this product is the design - whilst it is stylish and sleek, I personally like bags with a pattern or bright colours, something a bit more funky looking. I'd also change the size as I feel it’s a bit on the large side for an everyday changing bag.
Tested by mum Gemma Sweeting for the Mother & Baby awards 2018:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would recommend this bag to other mums as it has plenty of space and compartments to fit all your baby essentials and still looks great. It's much larger than my old change bag but, because of the sleek design, I don't feel like I'm carrying everything but the kitchen sink around with me like I usually do!
How did this product make your life easier?
I love this bag. It has lots of compartments to keep all baby essentials and also plenty of space to keep my things. With my old change bag I was forever losing my keys in the bottom but there is a handy compartment on the side where I can keep them. I also really like the handy fold away change mat that comes with the bag. The extra straps that attach to the bag allow you to carry it on the handle bars of the pushchair which is great. I love the way that it looks like a tote bag rather than a changing bag.
Would you choose this product to win?
I really do think that this product should win as the best baby change bag on the market. It is so stylish but yet still allows you to carry around everything you need. Plenty of compartments within the bag to store all your baby essentials and your own items such as keys and phone. It also has a matching purse that fits into another compartment
What changes would you make to this product?
I think if I had to improve one thing about this product it would be to make it slightly smaller, as sometimes, if I am only going out for a few hours, the bag does seem rather big. However, it is stylish, so you feel like you are carrying around a nice tote bag rather than a change bag!
Tested by mum Sharon Cook for the Mother & Baby awards 2018:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
The Jennie bag is so much more than a baby changing bag. It is the perfect accessory for weekend trips and holidays with the bonus of the pocket on the back that slips over the handle of a suitcase. It is gorgeous and looks like an expensive designer bag. The external pocket is useful for those quick go-to items like dummies, or your keys, and the changing mat is perfect for baby. It’s super soft and has pockets for nappies, wipes and barrier cream so I never need to go searching in my bag again.
How did this product make your life easier?
It has so many compartments and pockets for all your bits and pieces so I really have no excuse to be disorganised. The buggy clips enable me to clip the bag quickly and safely to the push chair or trolley and the cross body strap means I can have my hands free whenever I want. Don’t need the baby stuff? I can grab the essentials and take the clutch bag. I won’t be using anything else.
Would you choose this product to win?
I would choose this bag because it’s affordable, practical and fashionable. It’s the definition of ‘chic’ and I love it swinging off my arm, it makes me feel like a yummy mummy. The quality of the bag far outweighs the price and it’s the perfect size to fit all of baby’s necessities, toys and extra clothes just in case of little accidents.
What changes would you make to this product?
I can’t fault this bag, it’s brilliant.
Tested by mum Kerrie Spencer for the Mother & Baby awards 2018:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
There are so many features and added perks that make this bag worth the money, not to mention it is stylish and has the look of a handbag rather than a changing bag. The material is waterproof so if anything leaks it can be wiped down with ease, making it hygienic for myself and baby. You can either carry it with handle straps or clip directly to the pushchair which makes it safe and secure.
How did this product make your life easier?
It’s so convenient, it has all the space I need to put everything in one place when I'm on the go, with added pockets and a little inner bag. The key chain means I don’t have to spend five minutes searching for my house keys, the phone pocket means I can get to my calls quick and the pockets in the changing mat mean I can store nappies and wipes inside. The bottle pockets mean bottles don’t slowly work their way to the bottom of the bag. Then the clutch bag is brilliant for my cards and money!
Would you choose this product to win?
I feel this product should win for so many reasons – it is so spacious and all the extras like the added shopping bag are brilliant. This saves us money on supermarket bags for example. This bag must have been designed by a mum!
What changes would you make to this product?
I wouldn't actually change anything about it, I love this bag so much more than I thought I would.
