Our parent testers have got hands-on with a number of changing bags, filling them with baby essentials and taking on trips out. They rated each bag, looking for parent-friendly touches (lots of pockets and compartments always get the thumbs up), quality material that will last and a stylish design you'd be proud to carry around. Here are our award winners.

Joint Gold: Avery Row Baby Changing Bag with Pram Clips

The design feels classic without being old fashioned, and functional without looking too much like a baby bag. It's beautiful, well made, looks and feels expensive, and is the best baby changing bag I've used (and I have tried A LOT!)
Awards judge Emma, mum to a 7 month old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "We love how this changing bag can seamlessly transition to a swimming bag, weekend bag or hospital bag, proving its longevity and making it good value. Plus, it looks and feels so premium."

Joint Gold: PacaPod JacaPod Backpack (Baby)

This bag is really amazing; the different zips allowing you to open the bag in different ways is a game-changer and set this bag apart from many others. The different zips make it easy to see what you're looking for and find things easily.
Awards judge Tiffany, mum to an 8 month old and 20 month old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "The Swiss Army of bags, this JacaPod really took us by surprise! We loved the modular design, with all the different pods; the fold-out baby-changing station is a great addition and really does let you change your baby anywhere."

Available from PacaPod (£175)

Best Changing Mat

A safe and comfortable place to change your baby's nappy makes all the difference, which is why a great quality changing mat is such an important part of your new baby kit. Whether you opt for a chunky mat to keep in the nursery or a compact, fold-up design to stuff in your baby changing bag, it's something you're going to reach for time and time again.

Our community of parent testers – no strangers to regular nappy changes – have put a variety of changing mats to the test to pick their favourites. They looked at how comfortable the mat seemed for their baby, if it had any anti-roll safety features, the overall style and – crucially – how easy it was to clean. These are our winners.

Gold: The Little Bumble Co. Anti Roll Changing Mat

I really like the anti-roll feature and the lovely design of the removable cover. It's durable and my baby seems very happy and comfortable on the mat – it has the right level of softness and firmness to support her and she is often smiling away whilst being changed.
Awards judge Kathryn, mum to a 4 month old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "We love the range of designs for this changing mat – with over 45 beautiful styles, there really is something for every nursery."

Available from: The Little Bumble Co. and Natural Baby Shower

Joint Silver: The Turning Tot Changing Mat

With a baby trying to roll front, back, left and right it can prove difficult and time consuming to change them. Having an anti-roll feature like this really helps to stop this and makes changing my baby's nappy a much easier process. I also like that it can be folded or rolled up for travel.
Awards judge Vicky, mum to a 6 month old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "A great solution for those wriggly babies that won't stay still when being changed!"

Joint Silver: Bumbo Max Changing Pad

This was really comfortable for my baby – much more so than her current mat – and it was a lovely temperature for those night changes. It's great quality, would definitely stand up to repeated use and the foam was easy to clean.
Awards judge Carys, mum to a 7 month old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "Super foamy and soft, this changing mat has a lovely tactile feel to it, in classic Bumbo style."

Bronze: Avery Row Baby Changing Mat

Without a doubt you can tell this is a luxurious, high-end, well made mat, although I think it's slightly too short to be functional up to 18 months. The cover has a beautiful design and I like that it never gets cold like the plastic changing mats do.
Awards judge Helen, mum to a 4 month old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "Gorgeous designs and great for petite newborns; we loved the removable washable covers."

Best Nappy Changing Accessory

When you're a parent juggling a million other things, anything that makes life a little easier is always going to be a winner. These nappy changing accessories are all designed to do just that. From nappy caddies that keep everything in one place to clever wipe dispensers than make a one-handed nappy change a breeze, it's the little things that make a big difference.

Our parent testers worked these products into their daily nappy changing lives to decide which deserved to be recognised as the best of the best. Looking at innovation, usefulness and value for money, these are the ones that came out top.

Gold: Avery Row Nappy Caddy

I found this nappy caddy extremely useful for changing my baby's nappy multiple times a day with nappies, wipes and creams easily accessible. The design is lovely, the quality is fantastic and the material is soft; I think it would make a lovely gift for a new parent.
Awards judge Tiffany, mum to an 8 month old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "Soft, portable, and perfect for storing all those essentials when moving around the home, and doing nappy changes. Plus, this Avery Row option lets you do it in style."

Silver: Ubbi Wipes Dispenser

It does exactly what it says – dispensing one wipe at a time whilst keeping them fresh and full of moisture. This is an extremely useful gadget to have – it makes nappy changing a breeze, ensuring that baby can be changed one handed. It has a sleek, minimalist design that will easily fit into any nursery.
Awards judge Eloise, mum to an 8 month old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "One of those products you didn't know you needed until you've used it, this banishes a million wipes being dispensed at once. And it's also really satisfying to use."

Bronze: BooBoo Baby Wipe Warmer

This takes the cold edge off the wipes so that your baby doesn't get a shock when being changed or having their hands and face wiped. It adds a little bit of extra luxury to changing times and my baby definitely enjoyed it. In the future I would buy as a gift for a friend expecting a baby.
Awards judge Sophie, mum to an 8 month old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "This is a great product for doing those late night changes and not wanting to wake baby with a cold wipe."

Best Nappy Disposal System

If you use disposable nappies, you're going to need somewhere to put your baby's dirty ones. Having a dedicated nappy bin in your nursery, or wherever you usually change your baby, is a game-changer. Perfect for quickly disposing of used nappies, locking any smells away, it's a convenient alternative to the household outdoor bin.

Looking at everything from how easy they are to use and how effectively they keep any nappy smells at bay to whether they are worth the money, our parent testers put a range of nappy disposable systems to the test. Here are our winners.

Gold: Ubbi Nappy Bin

This is one of the most aesthetic nappy bins I've seen. It's also robust – it's been thrown around by my toddler and still looks beautiful and works a treat! It's great at keeping in odours and the biggest plus of all is that you can use any bag with it, even a supermarket plastic bag.
Awards judge Claire, mum to a 26 month old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "Honestly, we've never seen a sexier nappy bin! That, plus the fact it's made from stainless steel so doesn't absorb any smells, is why this took Gold."

Silver: Nattou Dropy Nappy Bin

I love the look of this; it's sleek and pretty and not shiny white plastic! It's a functional item that looks good, and can be used with one hand – I wish I'd had one from the very start.
Awards judge Sophie, mum to a 17 month old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "The dinkiest nappy bin. We loved how aesthetic it looks, as well as the one-handed special closure system which is easy to use and it stops stinks escaping!"

Bronze: Tommee Tippee Twist & Click Nappy Bin

This is a brilliant product and a great size to hold multiple dirty nappies, so especially beneficial for those living in a flat far away from outdoor bins. The twist and click feature means that after each use the nappy is sealed closed, reducing odours.
Awards judge Caroline, mum to a 1 month old and 2 year old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "A great individual nappy wrapping system, we like the satisfying twist and click feature, and good storage capacity."

Best Nappy Rash Cream

The easiest way to keep your baby's bottom soft and protected is with a good quality nappy rash cream. Whether used as a barrier cream to keep nappy rash at bay, or a treatment cream to help ease an active rash, a decent nappy rash cream is an essential addition to your changing bag and nappy caddy.

Our parent testers smoothed, dabbed and applied multiple nappy rash creams onto their babies to pick a worthy winner. Looking at how easy the cream was to apply, its effectiveness at treating nappy rash, how well it absorbed and value for money, these are our winners.

Gold: Weleda Calendula Nappy Change Cream

The texture is smooth and non-greasy, so it spreads easily and absorbs quickly, making nappy changes faster and more convenient. The natural ingredients and gentle formula has been fantastic for her sensitive skin and works really well at preventing irritation and nappy rash.
Awards judge Rebekah, mum to a 3 month old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "We're big fans of this nappy cream. Not only does it smell wonderful, it's gentle and effective at preventing and treating nappy rash, and it has sustainably sourced ingredients."

Silver: Kit & Kin Magic Salve

I've used this for everything from nappy rash to dry lips on my 16 month old – I've even used it on myself! It smells amazing, looks like a premium brand, yet comes at a much more budget-friendly price. The quality is unmatched and has worked wonders on my daughter's nappy rash.
Awards judge Hollie, mum to a 16 month old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "We love an everything potion, and this magic salve is just that. Wonderful for sore bottoms, but also chapped skin, lips, dry hands – basically anything that needs a little moisture help."

Bronze: Kokoso Baby Happy Nappy Cream

This nappy cream certainly gives off a premium vibe. It feels nice and rubs in well; a little bit goes a long way and the pump dispenser gives you the right amount with just one push. My boy has sensitive skin and this cream seems to work well for him.
Awards judge Victoria, mum to a 17 month old

MadeForMums Editorial Team say: "We adored the pump dispenser of this cream, and how gentle this cream is for sensitive and eczema-prone skin; it feels so lovely on the skin."

Available from Kokoso Baby (£9.99)
