Caboodle Active Changing Bag Reviewed


Caboodle Active Changing Bag

A nifty backpack that's easy to use, light to carry and thoughtfully designed.
Not much to fault, though perhaps the changing mat could fold down smaller.
Features: Wrap-over, cross-body strap with a pocket for your mobile, clever insulated pocket for keeping bottles in, easy-access main space, front zip up pocket for parent's bits and bobs and back pouch containing changing mat.
Price: £24.99
Contact: Caboodle Bags

The concept:
If Lara Croft needed a baby changing bag, this is the one she'd choose! Easy to get on and off with a velco release, it's light to carry and it's got plenty of zip-up pockets which are accessible with one hand, without opening the main bag. There's a mesh across the back to slide the matching changing mat into plus some nice little pouches inside for keeping jars and packets in their place.

In action:
The Active bag is really easy to use. It's deep enough to carry spare clothes etc without being so big that you lose crumbs of rice cakes and raisins at the bottom of it. The insulated pocket is accessible through its own zip up pocket at the front of the bag so you can get things in and out really easily plus you don't need to worry if anything leaks. Also, we found it worked really well, and because the insulated bit is on the front of the bag, you don't feel anything hot against your body.
The main pocket is easy to open when you've still got it strapped across your body, too, which makes a big difference.
Because the bag is a slick black number, we think it's handy to use as a cycling bag when your child has grown out of nappies - then you can keep your energy drinks cool in the bottle pouch!

The ThinkBaby verdict

A versatile, easy to clean backpack at a very good price and in unisex black for mums and dads to feel comfortable with.
Layout and accessories: 5/5
Ease of cleaning: 5/5
Quality: 4/5
Value: 5/5
