Baby Changing Backpack - Olive
Why Avery Row baby changing backpacks?
A baby changing backpack solves the problem a shoulder bag or tote can't - carrying everything you need while keeping both hands free for baby. Whether you're navigating a busy high street, walking without the pram, or managing older children at the same time, a backpack spreads the weight evenly and stays out of the way. Our changing bag backpacks are made from organic cotton and water-resistant recycled nylon, with a layout that puts the things you need most often closest to hand. They attach to the pram when you need them to, and carry comfortably on your back when you don't.
How to choose the right baby changing backpack
A good baby changing backpack comes down to three things: how it carries, how it organises, and how it fits your routine.
Backpack vs tote bag
A changing bag backpack works best for days when you're not always pushing the pram - walks, public transport, days out with older children, or travel. It spreads weight evenly across both shoulders, leaves your hands completely free and is easier to manage when you're carrying baby too. If you spend most of your time with the pram and need quick one-handed access, a tote bag may suit you better. Many parents find one of each useful for different types of day.
Organisation
The best baby changing backpack isn't just a big open bag - it's one where different compartments match how you actually use it. Look for a dedicated main compartment for bulkier items, external pockets for things you reach for constantly (wipes, phone, keys), and a separate section for a changing mat. Check the product page for exact pocket layout on each style.
Pram compatibility
All our baby changing backpacks work with pram clips, so you can attach them to the pram handle when you're pushing and switch to backpack carry when you're not. Matching pram clips are included with the backpack - no need to buy separately.

Build your changing kit
A baby changing backpack works best alongside a few key extras:
- Travel baby changing mats - folds flat inside the backpack for clean changes anywhere
- Baby wipes covers - keeps wipes accessible and easy to grab one-handed
- Baby muslins - always worth having a couple in the main compartment for dribbles or spills
FAQs
What is a baby changing backpack?
A baby changing backpack is a nappy bag designed to be worn on your back rather than over one shoulder. It carries all your changing essentials - nappies, wipes, creams, a changing mat and spare clothes - while keeping both hands free. Most changing bag backpacks also attach to a pram for hands-free convenience when you're pushing.
Is a changing backpack better than a changing bag?
It depends on your routine. A baby changing backpack is better for days when you're not always using the pram - it distributes weight evenly, keeps your hands free and is easier to manage when carrying baby or juggling older children. A tote changing bag tends to be quicker to access on pram days. Many parents use both depending on the type of day.
What should I pack in a baby changing backpack?
A well-stocked changing bag backpack typically includes nappies, wipes, nappy cream, nappy bags, hand sanitiser, a spare vest or outfit and a travel changing mat. A muslin is worth keeping in there too. Keep it permanently stocked with the basics so you only top up nappies and wipes rather than repacking each time.
Can a changing backpack attatch to a pram?
Yes. Our baby changing backpacks come with matching pram clips included, so you can attach them to the pram handle when you're pushing and switch to backpack carry when you're on foot. No need to buy clips separately.
Are baby changing backpacks water-resistant?
Our changing bag backpacks are made from organic cotton and recycled nylon with water-resistant fabric inside and out - suitable for everyday use and easy to wipe down. Always check the product page for the specific care instructions for your style.
Is a baby changing backpack a good baby shower gift?
Yes - practical, used from birth and genuinely appreciated. A changing bag backpack works well as a standalone gift or as part of a baby changing bag bundle. Once your baby has grown, the backpacks can be used as a regular backpack thanks to a stylish and functional design that includes a laptop sleeve. Our gift service at checkout allows you to add a gift note and bag to make your parcel extra special.
At what age do you stop using a changing backpack?
Most parents use a baby changing backpack until their child is around 2–3 years old, depending on how long nappies are needed. After that, the organisation still makes it a useful day bag. Thanks to a stylish and functional design, featuring a laptop sleeve, many parents keep using theirs well beyond the nappy stage.
