Nappy Bags- oh I've had a few...

When I bought my first nappy bag I just worried about fitting it all in...oh how times have changed.
My list now includes:
Washable/wipeable
Outside phone pocket
Key fob
Fits over any pram
Not too heavy
Washable lining
Stylish!!

I have had an Il Tutto leather bag which was very nice but for me too heavy and rigid:

I had the Mia and the Chiara and found them too big and heavy even when empty but a good size with lots of pockets.

I have an Alexandra Bee Sophia in black leather and love it! It works as a handbag as well:

I bought mine from here and got it sent from the UK:

I also have a Skip Hop Pronto for quick trips out and about:



shoes!?

I have ordered from endless.com and have been so impressed with their service. Free post and a hue range for all the family. They have such a wide variety of brands and styles that we don't have and so much cheaper than buying here too.
When buying from the US their sizes are usually one up from ours. A ladies size 8 here i a 9 over there.
For kids measure their feet and use the size chart. Often they will say how many cm the shoes are to give you a guide.
Some of my favourite kids brands are: PEDIPED:http://www.pediped.com/
http://www.itsybitsybabystore.com/Pediped-Shoes-s/47.htm: they send to Australia and are much cheaper than buying here.
For the little ones especially I love Jack and Lily. They last very well and my 3 year old still wears hers.

I bought most of mine from here:

Be aware though that that shop is addictive and has the biggest nappy bag range!!
