Mia Tui Emma Changing Bag review

What they say:

“The Mia Tui Emma bag makes the transition to motherhood easier, this stylish changing bag will allow you to keep your style now that you have to carry everything and the kitchen sink around with you.

“The interior pockets come with their own bags, one for baby's bits and a clutch for you, which can be worn across the body. Two insulated bottle holders, clips for your keys and a phone pocket make this the perfect changing bag. The travel changing mat has space for wipes and the buggy clips allow you to securely attached to your pram.”

Would you recommend this to other mums?

I would reccomend this to a friend as they have a good range of colours and is more like a handbag than a baby changing bag, therefore being good for mothers who like to follow fashion and don't want just an ordinary baby bag. It is big enough to fit all essentials in and comes with accessories also.

How did this product make your life easier?

This bag is so simple and is very big so can fit everything needed inside. There is a chain that you clip your keys on to so there's no trying to rummage at the bottom of the bag trying to find your keys. There is a changing mat inside and a matching clutch and a clear bag inside to put little toiletries in that may spill.

The choice of colours is amazing and is the perfect size for mothers when we need to pack 101 things for a day out. They're are a lot of spaces in the bag so things are easy to find. The clutch is ideal also and the changing mat is good for while out and about too.

What changes would you make to this product?

There isn't anything I would like to change about this product. I love the size, the colour, the look and all the storage space inside. There's a long handle aswell as short handles which is good. I love the fact I can use it out as my handbag and no one will be able to tell its actually a baby bag.

The Emma changing bag is gorgeous. It's really well made and a beautiful colour (I've got a tan one). It's huge and can store lots of baby/child essentials, I particularly like the bottle/drink holders and the external zipped pocket. The changing mat is such a good idea with its pockets for nappies and wipes too!

How did this product make your life easier?

The removable changing mat with pockets for nappies and supervise excellent and makes nappy changing on the go much easier and quicker than rooting through the bag to find them. I also have found the buggy straps really handy to attach the bag to the buggy quickly and easily. The bag is a great size and fitted everything I needed for three kids on a flight and was perfect for hand luggage.

The best thing about this bag (and there are lots of good things) is that it is beautiful enough to be used as a weekend bag or large hand bag after a changing bag is no longer needed. It's definitely the best looking changing bag that I, or my mum friends, have ever had! The changing mat, buggy straps and choice of colours are also great.

What changes would you make to this product?

If I could change anything about this bag I'd add more compartments in the central space and would make it lighter. I found the bag to be quite heavy, even when empty and it easily tipped our buggy up if I didn't remember to remove it before taking our baby out. Additional compartments in the central area of the bag would be handy too as I found, when the bag was full, it was tricky to find some of the things I needed.

Would you recommend this to other mums?

Yes, I’m actually a bit in love with this bag, the design is great, not too big, not too small. I can fit my work stuff in it one day, then a change of clothes for 2 boys another. I love the smaller clutch bag, it means I can take some of the bag without the rest. I love the colour and the style, no more boring frumpy mummy here, I feel like a confident stylish mum with it.

How did this product make your life easier?

This bag is great as you can take as much or as little as you want with it. It's stylish yet so practical. I can shove it on or under the buggy, or sling it in the car and take what I need with the smaller clutch bag. The area for a tablet is great as it stops it getting scratched, as is the lanyard for keys, no more scrabbling around looking for them. I wish I'd found this bag sooner.

I love the stylish nature and colour of this bag, it's affordable yet a real showstopper which will make any mum feel confident. It's practical but not mumsy, you can wash it and you can store your life in it. There are a range of colours, so you can have one to match your pushchair or one to match you. It stands out from the crowd and just feels great to walk down the street with.

What changes would you make to this product?

If I could change one thing about this bag I would make the bottle warmer detachable. It's great when you have a tiny baby but I'm not so sure what I will store in it once the kids are a bit older. If you're breastfeeding you could store a bottle of water for yourself in it but otherwise it might be a bit redundant.

This is not just a changing bag. It is stylish, has a chain for your keys (I always used to lose them in my previous bag), a changing mat and most exciting of all, a little matching clutch bag that you can put your make up or whatever in and them use without the big bag I you need too. There is also a phone pocket and a pen holder and space for bottles or sippy cups.

How did this product make your life easier?

There comes a time in every mum's life when they are just fed up with changing bags. Most are dowdy and match the pram so have little relevance to a woman's style. The Emma bag could be mistaken for an expensive designer hobo-style bag and I would not be ashamed taking it out alone as well as being a total yummy mummy when it is hanging on the handles of my pram.

Would you choose this product to win?

The Emma bag has it all. Organisation, style, it is designed extremely well. It comes in a range of attractive colours that would suit anyone from pink to black. I choose tan as I always think it goes with everything. It is such good value for money and, as a busy mum, I will be carrying it around much longer than the nappy stage because it fits so much in.

What changes would you make to this product?

I have really struggled to come up with anything negative about the Emma bag. The amount of pockets and compartments is perfect and it looks so good. If I was to be super picky, it did have a funny smell to it when I got it out of the box. The smell has subsided as I have used it but I did wonder why and what it was.

Would you recommend this to other mums?

Definitely! A gorgeous bag. In fact a friend of mine came round and saw the bag and asked where it was from she loved it so much. Lovely colour and great quality. So many pockets and added extras included. I'd happily use this bag for myself as a weekend bag, it's really stylish for a baby bag. Looks lot more expensive than it is.

How did this product make your life easier?

It has so many little pockets even a great clutch bag so when we go on days out I don't have to be taking baby bag and hand bag - a great idea! Also a fab little bag for putting in items such as wet clothes, another great idea for when out and about.

It's so stylish, doesn't feel like you're carrying round a bag full of nappies and bottles of milk - it just feels like a normal lovely bag and I would happily use it just for myself too. Great compartment and lots of extras. I've never seen a bag like this that I love so much. I'm the envy of my mum friends!

What changes would you make to this product?

I wouldn't change it at all. It's a great product, a lovely bag that completely suits my needs. More than that it's so stylish, makes me want to throw away my normal baby bag and use this one from now on. That is of course if I don't use it for myself as a weekend bag. Really is lovely and I wouldn't change a thing about it.
