Yes, you apparently have to have a catchy brand name to make it into our top two. This baby changing bag is rather heavy for a model of its size, but we found the advantages – including its moderate price of about $130 – made this one our favorite, even reanking above other great Pickle Bottom models like the City Carryall and Boxy Backpack. Another was the changing pad, always a key consideration in baby bags – the Sashay’s is large but folds up small, it’s easily wiped clean and it’s attached by strong Velcro so you can remove it for cleaning. One feature we loved was that you can carry the Pickle Bottom bag two ways, either on the shoulder using the padded handles, or as a backpack with removable straps that tuck right into one of the exterior pockets when not in use. If you prefer something more elegant, more washable and more expensive, the bag is also available in gorgeous glazed print and embossed fabrics. There are a number of adorable patterns, making this a changing bag which could easily be used as a stylish purse on date nights. It’s also very durable and stain-resistant (a great quality for a cotton bag). It’s made from organic cotton and extremely well-built, with high-quality stitching, hardware, zippers and straps. ![]() One of the things that really attracted us to this changing bag was its construction. You may be rummaging around inside the bag to find items at times, but we found that the internal organization keeps rummaging to a minimum. Unlike some competitors which seem to be zillions of pockets with a piece of fabric holding them together, the Sashay has just five interior pockets (two for bottles) and a few exterior ones (two for bottles, others for magazines and a cellphone) plus a very handy clip for your keys. This Pickle Bottom bag (if you’re confused by the names, we were at first, too – Petunia is the brand, Pickle Bottom is the product line, Sashay is the model) is 15 inches wide at the bottom and 13 inches tall, so it can hold a lot of stuff unless you’re the type of mom (you know who you are!) who packs most of the house into her diaper bag before going out you’ll have no problem fitting diapers, wipes, cream, bottles, blanket, change of clothes, toys and your own personal essentials inside. But it’s a good-sized, roomy, attractive, well-organized and reasonably-priced changing bag that’s extremely well-built. It’s not the largest, it’s not the most fashionable, it doesn’t have the most pockets and it’s not the cheapest. The Sashay combines most of them into a tempting package. Seemingly minor issues like the type of changing pad in the bag and the padding on the shoulder straps can quickly become major problems, and we take a look at those features as well.īut before anything else, you may want to check first our comprehensive baby changing bags buying guide here.Įvery great baby changing bag that we’ve looked at has a different quality or function to argue in its favor. There are other considerations when choosing a changing bag, though, including how easy the bag is to carry and how durable it is.

Our choices for the best changing bags combine function and style. ![]() And an ugly twenty-dollar bag may not be the look you’re after when you can get back into your regular outfits and want to impress friends and family with how great you look so soon after giving birth. As you drop the baby weight and get back into swing of real life, you’ll probably be paying more attention to style than you were during your final month of pregnancy.
