The Ultimate Changing Bag Checklist — What to Pack for Day Trips

Let’s be honest — day trips with a baby are never just a quick pop-out. You think it’s a stroll in the park, and before you know it, you’re juggling nappies, bottles, bibs, and baby wipes like some kind of superhero in leggings.

That’s why your changing bag is your secret weapon. Think of it as your on-the-go nursery — practical, organised, and ready for anything. The trick is knowing what really needs to come along.

Start with the essentials: nappies (always a few extra), wipes, and a spare outfit. Add a muslin or two — because spills are basically a given. A silicone feeding set from The Hush Baby Co. fits neatly inside, making snack time simple and mess-free. Don’t forget a dummy, nappy sacks, and a portable milk warmer if you’re bottle-feeding.

For you? A spare top, hand sanitiser, and snacks (yes, for grown-ups too). The Hush Baby diaper backpack keeps it all tidy, with pockets for everything.

Once you’ve got your bag packed, you’ll feel a bit smug walking out the door — and rightfully so. You’re officially travel-ready, baby and all.
