The Melobaby Melotote really caught my eye when I saw it. It has a great, unique design. But that was not all. It seemed to have lots of compartments and a separate bag for the milk bottle. So did it live up to expectations? I have reviewed a lot of parenting bags and I can say that the Melotote is my favourite. It is almost impossible to not be organised with this bag. It has the perviously mentioned separate bag for the milk bottle which is insulated. The two compartments at either side are also insulated for drinks and snacks. The nappy mat is great, coming in a plastic bag which can also take some nappies. It has a beautiful soft fleece on one side and a washable fabric on the other. I love it. The bag is also designed that so when it is on the floor all of the compartments stay upright and in place. Brilliant.

The bag also has some zipped compartments on the outside, very handy. It comes with a strap, two handles, and two small straps which allow it to fit onto any pram. My only gripe is that the clip on the strap had to be pushed back when it came out.

This is a great bag which takes a lot of the stress out of parenting. You cannot underestimate the importance of a good changing bag. You don’t want to get flustered looking for things. I give this bag full marks. Smart functional design which also looks great. What more could you want?

Super stylish and extremely practical, the award winning MELOTOTE is the changing bag parents won’t want to live without.  Its sophisticated, good-looking design means it will be used long after baby is out of nappies!

Perfect for days out, this top quality changing bag has been specially designed to be lightweight, and offers easy access with all the right pockets in all the right places.  It features two interior insulated pockets for bottles, drinks and snacks, a large internal full length padded compartment for everyday essentials, two external pockets and two external zipped pouches to keep all mum and dad’s essentials safe.  Belongings can be spotted and accessed quickly and the bag’s structured design keeps it upright when placed on the ground.

The MELOTOTE comes with a washable, super-soft fleece mat which is wipe-able on one side, and stored in its own handy carry pack which can also hold nappies.  An insulated bottle bag in matching,easy-clean fabric is also included.  Parents can use the bag’s adjustable shoulder strap or the easy carry tote handles, plus the handy stroller straps enable the bag to hang neatly from any pushchair.

New to the collection of fabric designs is the smart Chevron Grey, or parents can choose from Black, Love Navy or Love Black & White.  Priced at £75, the MELOTOTE is an exceptional changing bag at a great value price.

Here’s a mum’s view on the MELOTOTE.  Debbie has considerable experience in the nursery industry and has been trying out the MELOTOTE recently for the first time with her two children:

“As I have been in the nursery industry for 16 years and have two small children I have been lucky enough to try many different changing bags in my time and I can honestly say the MELOTOTE is the best one I have had so far!  Not only does it look really sophisticated and sleek but it is so neat as it stores everything in such an organised manner.  It allows even the most disorganised mum to be neat and tidy! The wide opening allows you to find everything really quickly and when you throw it on the floor it stays upright and keeps everything inside.  You can really feel the quality of the finish and all the additional features, such as the super-soft fleece mat in its own wipeable pouch and the matching bottle bag, make the bag great value for money.”
