Why Avery Row baby changing tote bags?
A baby changing tote bag is a staple changing bag range for any parent on the go - spacious enough for a full day out, quick enough to reach into mid-change, and versatile enough to go from pram to shoulder without missing a beat. Ours are made from organic cotton and water-resistant recycled nylon with a considered interior layout: a large main compartment for bulkier items, external pockets for the things you reach for constantly, and a dedicated section for a changing mat. They clip onto the pram when you're pushing and carry comfortably over the shoulder when you're not. Available in organic cotton in five colours or recycled nylon in three colours to match our changing backpacks and pram organiser bags.
How to choose the right baby changing tote bag
The right changing tote bag depends on how you spend your days with baby. Here's what to think about:
Tote bag vs backpack
A baby changing tote bag works best for pram-led days - it opens wide for fast access, hangs neatly from the pram handle and is easy to reach into for one of our handy baby changes. If you're often out without the pram, carrying baby or managing older children at the same time, a changing backpack spreads the weight more evenly and keeps both hands free. Many parents find both useful for different types of day.
Tote bag vs pram organiser
A pram organiser bag is compact and designed to stay on the pram or as a cross body bag - perfect for a minimal kit on short outings. A changing tote bag carries a full day's worth of essentials and doubles as a shoulder bag when you need it. If you're heading out for longer stretches or need space for a feeding kit, spare layers and toys alongside the changing basics, the tote is the better choice.
Organisation
It’s important to look for a baby changing tote bag with a clear internal structure - a main compartment for nappies and bulkier items, external pockets for wipes and phone, and a handy pouch for a changing mat. The difference between a well-organised tote and a single open compartment is significant when you're mid-change and need something quickly.
Pram compatibility
All our baby changing tote bags work with our universal pram clips, so the bag sits securely on the pram handle and is always within reach. Clips are included - no need to buy separately.
Materials and care
Our changing tote bags are made from organic cotton and recycled nylon - water-resistant inside and out, lightweight and easy to wipe clean. Check the product page for full care instructions.
Build your changing kit
A baby changing tote bag works best as part of a complete out-and-about setup. Pair yours with:
- Travel baby changing mats - folds flat inside the tote for clean changes wherever you are
- Baby wipes covers - keeps wipes accessible and easy to grab one-handed from the external pocket
- Baby muslins - always worth having a couple in the main compartment to mop up any spills or dribbles
Baby changing bag bundles - tote and accessories together at a better price
FAQs
What is a baby changing tote bag?
A baby changing tote bag is a nappy bag designed to open at the top or with a wide zip opening, carried over the shoulder or in the crook of the arm. It combines the spaciousness and easy access of a tote with the organisation features you need for nappy changes and a full day out with baby.
Is a changing tote bag better than a changing backpack?
It depends on your routine. A baby changing tote bag is better for pram days - it opens wide for fast one-handed access and clips neatly onto the pram handle. A changing backpack is better for hands-free days out without the pram. Most parents find one of each useful depending on the type of day.
What should I pack in a baby changing tote bag?
A well-stocked changing tote bag includes nappies, wipes, nappy cream, nappy bags, hand sanitiser, a spare vest or outfit and a travel changing mat. A couple of muslins are worth keeping in there too. For longer days add feeding items, a spare layer and a small toy. Keep the basics permanently stocked so you're only topping up nappies and wipes rather than repacking each time.
Can a changing tote bag attach to a pram?
Yes. Our baby changing tote bags come with pram clips included so you can attach them securely to the pram handle - keeping everything within reach without taking up basket space. Switch to shoulder carry when you step away from the pram.
Are baby changing tote bags water-resistant?
Our changing tote bags are made from organic cotton and recycled nylon with water-resistant fabric inside and out - practical for everyday use and easy to wipe down between outings. Check the product page for full care and cleaning instructions.
What is the difference between a changing tote and a pram organiser?
A pram organiser bag is compact and designed to stay on the pram, carrying just the essentials for shorter outings. A baby changing tote bag is larger, carries a full day's worth of kit and doubles as a shoulder bag when you're away from the pram. Many parents use both - the organiser for quick local trips and the tote for longer days out.
Is a baby changing tote bag a good baby shower gift?
Yes - practical, used from birth and a genuine daily essential. A changing tote bag works well as a standalone gift or as part of a baby changing bag bundle. 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 tote bag?
Most parents use a baby changing tote bag until their child is around 2–3 years old, depending on how long nappies are needed. After that, the organisation and capacity still make it a practical everyday bag - many parents keep using theirs well beyond the nappy stage.
