Skip Hop Forma Nappy Backpack
A light, well-organised nappy backpack with packing cubes, insulated bottle pockets and pram straps.
MamaLoop mums pickWe researched this — not used by usNot sponsored
A backpack keeps both hands free for the pram, the car seat and the baby, and the Forma is the one we would choose. It opens wide, comes with packing cubes (one insulated for bottles), has insulated side pockets, a cushioned change pad, and straps to hang it on a pram. It is light, and it looks like a normal backpack, so it can carry a laptop later. Baby Bunting owners rate it well and Mumsnet's tester liked the organisation. The honest cons: several owners report straps breaking after a year or so of heavy use, it is pricey for a bag, and stock moves between colours and retailers. Never hang a heavy bag on a pram handle if it makes the pram tip.
