Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
As a luxury leather bag girl, I first thought the Lässig Green Label Neckline Baby Changing Bag was quite cheap looking. However, after using it for a couple of days I soon discovered that actually material can be good quality too and the bag seems built to last. Although it's not the type of bag I would usually choose, I did find various little pockets hat were very handy. There were velcro loops I used to attach toys, an insulated bottle holder, lined pocket for wet clothes - great for my potty training son and what we decided to call a 'hidden pocket' inside one of the outer pockets that was really handy for medicine. Easily accessible, but less likely to be found by a child.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
The high capacity of the bag was really handy. There was literally a place for everything and the ability to keep things separate at the same time was great. There seemed to be the exact right proportion of pockets vs. open spaces to fit everything where I wanted. I also loved that this was an environmentally friendly bag.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I didn't like the triangular shaped bits going up at the base of the straps. I would prefer straps straight from the bag. I think this is A personal choice though and in practice the shape did allow you to put more in the pockets.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
I was able to find the things I needed quickly and easily and I liked that the nappies etc. were safely stored away from food stuffs - hygienic. There seemed to be plenty of room in the Lässig Green Label Neckline Baby Changing Bag to store everything, a must when taking two young children out, and I felt the bag itself looked very smart.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
The bag was quite versatile, you could either carry it using the handles, strap it across the back of the buggy, clip it to the buggy, or put it in the shopping bag. I found this useful as I needed it to fit in different places at different times. We've all seen the pushchair fall over once the child is removed, so the ability for it to be small enough to fit in the shopping basket, yet large enough to fit everything in is perfect.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I can't actually think of anything. I thought the price was a little steep, but I am assured you get what you pay for.

The layout inside the Lässig Green Label Neckline Baby Changing Bag is brilliant. Pockets and open spaces galore, it's like the Tardis. It's the perfect sized bag, maximum capacity whilst not being too big and noticeable. The change mat was a nice size and folded up compactly. My son didn't seem to mind being on it so I assume it is reasonably comfortable. Everything is wipe clean which is great during the weaning stage and there were numerous clips to attach toys, hand sanitizer etc.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
There is quite literally a pocket for everything with this bag, but at the same time there doesn't seem to be too many. I think utilising the space on the outside of the bag with the triangular shaped pockets is brilliant. It just allows you to store so much more. What really convinced me was that usually with the last minute things you grab on your way out of the door, you try to cram them into your bag and then try to force the zipper shut. With this bag you could just shove whatever you grab into the outside open pockets and go. So hassle free!
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
Nothing - although I didn't really like the Taupe with Turquoise, I loved that some of the other colour combinations available.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow parent?
I love the fact that this is an environmentally friendly bag. Although it is relatively expensive, I think this makes it worth the extra. It is well-thought with all the pockets and spaces you need. I especially loved the pockets at the base of the straps, almost triangular shaped, very handy and held loads! The material seems built to last as do the zips. It is the perfect sized bag, fits nicely on the back of my pushchair, but also in the shopping basket section. The strap on the Lässig Green Label Neckline Baby Changing Bagwas easy to adjust and didn't slip back/elongate after being set to the right length.
How does this product make your life easier as a parent?
The layout and versatility of the use of pockets and spaces has made my life so much easier. The ability to always have a spare pocket, or space to put things in at the last minute is a must. The insulated bottle holder came in very handy for both bottles and yoghurts and what I referred to as the 'hidden pocket' within one of the triangles was great for medicine.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I would be concerned with a wipe clean bag, how easily it might get stained. I couldn't find anywhere in the literature that confirmed whether the bag had been stain proofed or not.
