PacaPod Changing Bag – Oban – Black

Good quality bag and not too big, we purchased this as its a bit more unisex than a lot of the changing bags out there. Both feeding pod and changing pod can be removed, I have removed the feeding pod at the moment as not needed and this gives more space in the bag. The bag does not open across the top (from the pictures I think it looks like it does), the main compartment is accessed by the zip side which folds down to access the pods. The zip pocket on the other side is useful as not too deep so you don't have to delve around for little bits and pieces like lip balm or phone and there is a clip for keys). We have not used for a long period of time yet so cannot comment on long term wear and tear or durability.

I love this bag! I use it every day I keep it stocked up with toys in it, 4 changes of clothes, books and more! The pods are great no need to take a big bulky bag into sometimes small baby changing rooms! it's perfect.

This bag looks good and has good features but it's just not big enough! It's OK if you're just popping out for an hour or two, but if you're out for the day, it doesn't hold everything you need so you have to carry a second bag. Also the pocket side of the bag doesn't open wide enough, practicality has suffered for style here. I got this as a gift, I wouldn't pay the RRP for it. The zip broke on mine after 1 month, (this was probably due to overfilling because the bag is too small!). I'm currently looking for a bigger, more practical bag.

I love this bag, bought it when baby number 2 came as needed the storage as had a 17 month old too. Has not been a disappointing bag at all. Enough room for 2 lots of nappies, milks, food etc. Would recommend to mummy friends 😄

Update: the stitching has come apart on one side after about six months of use. I'm disappointed as I expected it to last longer than this. It's still usable but I'm not sure for how long. It's a bit shoddy for such an expensive bag, and as a result I've reduced my rating.Original review: This was bought for me as a present and I love it. My only gripe, and it's not enough to knock off a star really, is that the top, main, section is only secured by a popper not a zip. So I'm a bit wary of putting my purse in it, and my purse is too big for the small zip section. Mind you, frankly if a pickpocket can get past the muslins, changes of clothes, spare dummy box, spare dribble-on etc etc then good luck to them really! Other than that it's fab. The small zipped side pocket is great for keys, mobile phone and smaller items. The large 'pod' section contains two smaller bags, one for nappy-changing related gear and an insulated one for bottles and/or food. If you're breastfeeding you'll probably be able to manage without this bit for a while, although you will want it again when you start weaning. You could conveniently pack and leave one of these pods with baby sitter/childminder/nursery etc without having to give them the entire bag, which is bound to come in handy. Both are a good size; the nappy changing one has more than enough room for several spare nappies, a full-size pack of wipes, nappy bags and cream, leaving a bit of space for a used nappy (in a nappy bag of course!) if you're somewhere where you can't easily dispose of it. There is also a fold up changing mat included with the bag that's just padded enough to be comfy for your little one without taking up lots of room. The shoulder strap is nice and long, with plenty of slack to wear it across your body so it can't slip off your shoulder. The velcro on the pram straps is really strong and they hold the bag really securely, plus the way they attach - one in front and one behind the handle - gives a bit of extra stability. Finally it's wipe clean and a smart, neutral colour. This may not seem critical, but it does mean that the man in your life probably won't object too strenuously to being asked to carry it! In terms of price, compared to other changing bags I think it's reasonable value. It's sturdy and you'll get a lot of use out of it, probably for several years.

The quality of this product does not match the price! The stitching has come away from various parts of the bag only after a few months of use.I have not used this bag in any abnormal way and not put it under any strain. I expected much more from this product.Along with stitching, the zips on the pods have broken rendering them unusable and therefore the the whole travel system is useless.On another note however, even if it had not fallen apart, the actual design of the bag is not that great either. Once the pods are in the bag there is no space left to use the other pockets and you end up taking a second bag to take all the extra things you need for a baby.I'm sure there are others which are of a better design, but for the price I recommend purchasing a better quality make, as pacapod have definitely missed the mark here!
