Find out what our parent testers thought of the Skip Hop Duo Special Edition Baby Changing Bag.
Tested by mum Belle Leaney for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
The design of the Skip Hop Duo Special Edition Baby Changing Bag is good and has lots of compartments to put various things. However I found it a little small, I like to take the kitchen sink with me and this bag did not allow me to do that. It is good and easy to wipe down if any accidents happen.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
It helps to keep pre-made bottles of milk from leaking as it has specific pockets for them. It helps me to be able to access what I need as I can put in different pockets.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I would make the bag bigger, I would really love this product but would just like a little more room.

The design of the Skip Hop Duo Special Edition Baby Changing Bag is for a mum who wants a stylish bag rather than a practical one. To me the style and design is more of a personal handbag, and what I need to take with me for my little one did not fit in this bag! The pockets I found to be small and tricky! The changing mat is tiny! My little boy is a big boy and he barely fitted on the mat.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
It didn't, if anything, it made it harder, because I had to take an extra bag for my belongings when usually I shove all my stuff into one bag.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
The changing mat needs to be wider and longer to keep all shapes and sizes of babies in mind. The whole bag needs to be re-designed to not have a personal bag in mind. Did not like at all.

The Skip Hop Duo Special Edition Baby Changing Bag is strong and durable and looks good! But it is also easy to use with zips or deep pockets everywhere. A most importantly for a change bag - it contains a change mat!!
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
Well a change bag is essential and this is the 4th change bag I have tried and definitely the best of all of them! I liked the fact it was large enough to put spare clothes in as well as some snacks and a book or a toy. It felt like it was strong enough to cope with the extra weight too. It hung well off the back of both of my pushchairs.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
No improvements I can think of, to be honest.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
I love the design of the Skip Hop Duo Special Edition Baby Changing Bag it makes me feel like I am carrying around a handbag rather than a bulky baby bag. I love the pattern, the design is funky and I love all the different compartments that it has.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
It has so many pockets for everything so I am organised and have everything in its certain place. This helps when I need something to hand as long as I remember where I put it!
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
The only thing I would change would be to make it a little bit bigger. I did struggle to fit what I usually carry around with me. It made me carry less though which was good for my back.

I love the Skip Hop Duo Special Edition Baby Changing Bag, I have one Skip Hop bag already. I think it has a great design and although a little room for a newborn, it's very versatile and thoughtfully designed. I love the way everything is easily accessible and there are neat pockets for everything you need. The 2 zipped pockets are great and the magnetic lock never fails. Easy to clean and wipe, it's been durable and hasn't scuffed or split. Nice design and easy to use.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
Happy to be seen with this and lots of room and thoughtful design, it's not massively obvious it's a change bag and fits everything easily including my purse and phone, drinks and food.
