Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would highly recommend The Wonder Bag. There are an endless amount of pockets, which is great for all the little bits you have to take out with you, including a phone pouch and attachment for your keys! The bag is very spacious and I love how it can be used as a rucksack as well. This is particularly useful when you have your hands full and don't want a bag falling off your shoulder!
How did this product make your life easier?
The Wonder Bag makes my life much easier as a mum, as there is plenty of space and lots of pockets to keep everything organised and much easier to find! Being able to use it as a rucksack is great when the pushchair is full of shopping, or you are out and about and just want to chuck the bag on your back without trying to keep it on your shoulder. Also great for the beach!

The fact it can be used as backpack as well as shoulder bag is a great idea and I haven't seen another bag quite like it.
What changes would you make to this product?
If I could change one thing about The Wonder Bag it would be the interior colour. The outside design of the bag is ideal for either boys and girls, however the inside is bright pink! Not too much of a problem until you are changing your little boy on a bright pink changing mat! The garden bird design on the outside is very tasteful though.

Would you recommend this to other mums?
Definitely yes! It is the best changing bag that I have come across. It has pockets galore so that you can pack in all the essentials needed when taking the baby out. It is so easy to carry and wipe clean. It's a beautiful look! I've had so many compliments on this bag and it's a pleasure to have and I really like it.
How did this product make your life easier?
The straps are fantastic, usually as I carry quite a lot in there the strap would dig into my shoulder or wrist. This bag however is so well padded and it's so easy to carry around, either strapped to my stroller or as a rucksack. It has lots of compartments in to store bottles, nappy and wipes so you know where items are when you need to remove them as opposed to pulling everything out.

The Wonder Bag is not just for baby use, I could even use this to take my swimkit to the pool or gym. It's so stylish! The interior of the bag is just as beautiful as the exterior with a lovely bottle warmer included! It has a handy bits in there such as a section to keep your baby’s bottle warm.
What changes would you make to this product?
There is nothing that I would change about the bag itself. It is perfect for everything that you could possibly need this bag for. I must admit I probably wouldn't spend £95 on this bag myself as i think it's really expensive especially when you already have so much to buy as a parent however this would 100% be on my gift list, or maybe I would try and save for it.
Tested by mum Sarah Walker for the M&B Awards 2017:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
I loved all the different pockets and compartments and once I got myself organised and remembered what was where, it made finding things when out really easy. I also love the backpack straps. I would never have picked a backpack style but with a baby and toddler I found this a great feature, especially when out shopping as I actually had enough hands for once!
How did this product make your life easier?
The backpack straps have made going out with 2 children a lot easier, especially when I have nipped somewhere without the pram but still need a change bag in case of any accidents! There are lots of pockets which make it easy to find your phone/purse/keys when you are out and you don't have to pull everything out.
Would you choose this product to win?
I really like The Wonder Bag with the design of all the compartments, backpack option and pattern. It does make going out much easier however it is quite expensive. If you use this every day for a year or so it would be good value but there are other bags on the market with similar designs and quality which are cheaper.
What changes would you make to this product?
The only improvement would be to reduce the price to make it more affordable. Although you would get your money's worth if this was your main bag for a considerable about of time, it is expensive when you are buying lots of other products in preparation for a baby, and I think it would put new mums off as they wouldn't appreciate how useful some of the features are.
