Winner:PLATINUM - Best Changing Bag Design
Who:TIBA + MARL
What:ALTO Changing Backpack
Why:
Our judges loved this lightweight contemporary backpack that marries practicality and sustainability with covetable design. It’s satisfyingly tactile and its urban good looks really appealed to our panel who were even more smitten when they discovered that this bag is crafted from recycled materials, including post-consumer plastic waste. The panel agreed that the thoughtful design, multiple compartments – including an insulated bottle holder, laptop sleeve, and easy-access pockets – make this the perfect choice for on-the-go parents who don’t want to compromise on either function or form.
Obsessed with the new leopard print!
I really like this. Well designed, so many pockets for mother and child and a choice of fun designs on the outside. Great for travel. Accessible pocket at the front for passports and tickets alongside all the other accessible pockets for children’s needs.
The ALTO is cool, covetable but most importantly, highly functional. Another great TIBA + MARL design. I'm thrilled to see them scoop Platinum in their 10th year - well done T&B!
This brand is always so in tune with what parents want and need. The ALTO is impeccably designed and the use of recycled materials makes it a great option for eco-conscious parents.

Who:HuddoCo
What:HuddoCo Anywhere Backpack and Travel Bundle
Why:
Our judges were super impressed with The HuddoCo Anywhere Backpack, which was designed to be your ultimate travel companion when you’re off on adventures with your baby. The JDA panel loved the clever inbuilt wipe dispenser that removes any need for panic rummaging and can be used with just one hand, the clever side access which reveals a shelving system to keep all your equipment visible and separate plus a sealed waterproof compartment to keep damp items at bay. The use of high quality recycled materials was also welcomed. A bag that really takes the stress out of travelling, whether that be long haul or just to the park!
A dream for the super organised parent.
This is such a fab new brand who put innovation and common sense paired with sleek design into one great bag.
A brand to watch. The impeccable attention to detail that could only come from the drawing table of a parent, fully acquainted with the ins and outs of long distance travel is astounding. A bag that will genuinely make your life easier and less stressful on the go with baby in tow.

Who:PacaPod
What:The PacaPod Baby Backpack by PacaPod
Why:
At a time when, you might be too tired to stay on top of things, this changing bag is like a secret personal secretary. The JDA panel loved the sleek yet friendly design of this backpack that opens out to create a landing platform where you can see all the contents in one go, removing the frustration of rummaging through the depths. The bag’s unique pod system is where things get really organised. The changer pod and feeder pod (which doubles as an insulated cool bag), are full of labelled pockets and slots, guiding you to remember all the vital equipment you’ll need on your travels. You can even remove the pods and hang them from your buggy handle if you want to travel extra light. A great changing bag for anyone who loves order or could really do with some!
The way it fully opens is so convenient!
The Pods are such a good idea keeping food and changing equipment separate. There’s a slot for everything so you don’t forget to pack any crucial equipment!
I had a PacaPod changing bag and it really helped me stay organised when I was running on zero sleep! I can see the clever pod system is even better now and I love the way the whole bag zips open so you can easily rummage without spilling everything onto the floor.
