At a glance:
We love how glamorous this changing bag looks, with its luxury feel and rose gold zips. It’s spacious, fully of compartments and has plenty of little extras to make your life easier. In our opinion, one of the bestselling points is the versatility of the bag – it can be worn as a hand bag, cross body or even a back pack.
What they say:
“The trendy Glam Rosie Bag sports lustrous highlights and captivates the hearts of all fashion-conscious moms with its stylish design and sparkling features. The stylish LASSIG diaper bag stands out thanks to its unusual trapezoid shape and handle and capture the imagination with dazzling details such as zippers and rosé gold Lassig lettering. The clever thing about this bag, however, is the additional adjustable strap with backpack feature so that you can wear the bag on your back. This multi-functional bag features four different wear and carry options in one: Handbag, shoulder bag, backpack and diaper bag, including a stroller attachment that you can use to take the pressure off your back and shoulders.”

I love the fact that this bag is roomy but still feels so light. I can fit everything into it without struggling for space and there are so many different compartments so everything has a place. The days of wondering where to put that jar of baby puree are long gone! The design is gorgeous too, and there are so many lovely little details, such as rose gold coloured metal fastenings and logos, and the stylish shape. The denim blue colour feels bang on trend, and just sporting it on my pram makes me feel instantly cooler. The quality really shines through here, and I've no doubts about the durability – it seems very well put together. The company seem to have impressive green credentials too, valuing sustainability and recyclable, non-toxic materials.
How did this product make your life easier?
What really stands out about this bag is the fact that it can be worn so many ways. You can carry it on your shoulder as a hand bag, wear it cross body, use it as a back pack or attach it to your pram. It comes with several different strap and handle attachments to make this as easy as possible, and the versatility is really appealing. It also has so many types of useful storage compartments. There's a hook to attach your keys to, so you never need fish around in the bottom of your bag looking for them again, an insulated bottle holder to keep fluids warmer or cooler, depending on the weather, and even a waterproof section for those looking to avoid annoying spills.

I think the overall versatility of the product really makes it stand out compared to most other change bags. Being able to pop it on the pram or your back at a moment's notice is really great. As mums, we have to be able to cope with so many different environments and situations, and it's reassuring to have a bag that measures up to our constantly on-the-go lifestyles. It's also really appealing to be able to keep the inside of the bag so organised and easily locatable. Life can be pretty chaotic when you have a baby in tow, so something as small as being able to find that baby wipes packet when you need it is so important.
What changes would you make to this product?
I'm not sure if the bag is weatherproof enough for our climate. I can't see anything in the product description to suggest that the main bag is waterproof, so I'm not sure what would happen when I'm caught in the rain with it. I'm a little concerned that everything inside would end up a bit soggy! Perhaps the bag is already rain-proof, and I just don't realise, but if it isn't, it could be a useful feature to add to future products.

Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would recommend this bag due to the extras which come with it, the style and the durability. It is wipe clean, which is great for all ages and their snotty noses and sticky fingers! When you have this bag, you don't feel mumsy as it's really stylish, it doesn't look like a typical changing bag and can therefore also be used for years to come.
How did this product make your life easier?
I love this bag! It has so many pockets that you can pack away so much without the bag feeling bulky, although that can make it heavy as you feel you end up putting everything in! The shorter and longer straps make it much more versatile for carrying which is a great feature, although I did find that due to the material, it was a little slippy, depending on what I was wearing.
Would you choose this product to win?
I may have chosen this product over all others if it was being bought as a gift, but if I were buying it myself, I would be a little put off by the price. I do think that it's worth it due to the quality, even the zips feel really expensive and really strong, but for me, it is still just a changing bag! I love the colour of the bag and the clips and hidden pockets and it would definitely stand out to me on the shelf.
What changes would you make to this product?
Whist I have considered the number of pockets to be a plus, they can also be a bit of a hindrance as sometimes it could take a while to find something if I couldn't remember which pocket I had tucked it away in! Also, whilst the location of the main zip looked trendy and more like a handbag than a changing bag, it could be quite awkward to open whilst holding the baby under one arm and having the bag on the other shoulder. But these are very minor points in an otherwise lovely, stylish and durable bag.

Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would absolutely recommend this bag to my friends as it is incredibly stylish, comfortable to have on my shoulder and under my pram too. It doesn't feel like a standard changing bag, and can absolutely pass as a normal handbag I'd take out shopping with me. The rose gold zips on the outside look beautiful and definitely add a touch of glamour to the bag. It reminds me of a Michael Kors style bag, and could definitely pass as a doubly expensive designer bag. As it has several compartments inside, it makes life a little easier as I'm able to put clean clothes and nappies one side, and anything dirty can be bagged up and put in a separate area! It's perfect.
How did this product make your life easier?
My old baby changing bag had just one main area and a tiny pocket on the inside. I honestly was forever routing around trying to find things which was incredibly frustrating (for me and my husband)! This bag however, oh my goodness! It has many more compartments and sections within it that it makes life so much easier, and naturally makes me much more organised! I'm now able to single handedly find my little boys favourite toy, his wipes or his water bottle. I'm able to whip out the free (and very swish) baby changing mat, grab those nappies and clean up any unwanted mess... I'm officially Super Mum!
Would you choose this product to win?
This baby changing bag is so luxurious, it genuinely made me feel so elegant and lucky to have this bag on my shoulder! I don't recall ever trying out a baby bag when I was pregnant that made me feel like that, so it definitely stands out above the rest. It can definitely be used as a general handbag as well as a baby changing bag. It comes with all the extras like a changing mat which again I don't recall seeing with any other bag I tried. Although not the cheapest, it is so multi-functional that it's totally worth it as you get so much for your money.
What changes would you make to this product?
I'm not sure I'd really change anything about the product to be honest. I would probably choose a different colour, but that's a personal choice and nothing bad about the product. I love the rose gold zip colours on the outside - shame that they are also not on the inside, rather than the grey ones.
Tested by mum Katie Soroczyn for the Mother & Baby awards 2018:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would definitely recommend this bag because of the multi-wear feature, which many changing bags on the market don't have. The bag also includes a change mat and insulator which is great as they fit neatly away and the bottle insulator has a clip to attach into the bag. I found it way too exciting discovering all the features, which I've never had with a change bag before - pram attachments, baby food detachable pocket, key clip, insulator, purse and different compartments!
How did this product make your life easier?
The fact this bag can worn different ways is what I absolutely love! I hadn't even thought of having a backpack changing bag, didn't even realise they existed. I've found it makes life so much easier as I can have my hands free to do busy mum stuff! It's especially useful when my baby is in her carrier as I can still take everything out with me. The key clip is hands down the biggest life saver! Before this bag I was forever emptying out all my belongings before I found my keys, now I can locate them right away.
Would you choose this product to win?
Yes I love the design of this bag, the rose gold zip really adds style and makes it look less like a typical change bag. I actually felt stylish using it. My partner also felt happy carrying this bag as it doesn't look too feminine and he liked that he could wear it as a backpack. I think this product should win due to all the features I haven't previously seen within a change bag, mainly due to the multi-wear function which I think is fabulous. Every time I use it I can wear it a different way - which I love!
What changes would you make to this product?
This bag would be even better if it had a removable pouch that I could put nappies and wipes in as then I wouldn't need to take the whole bag with me to the baby change. This is a feature I had with my previous change bag that I have missed since using this bag, but the other features do make up for it.
Tested by mum Rebecca Regan for the Mother & Baby awards 2018:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would recommend the Lassig Glam Rosie bag as it is stylish and does not really look like a change bag. It is also incredibly functional. Having the option to wear the bag as a backpack to free up hands is fantastic. When wearing the bag on your shoulder, there is only one strap, which is actually great as most change bags have two and one always falls down. Having a waterproof compartment is also very handy for those wet or food covered clothes, or rogue wet wipes.
How did this product make your life easier?
The Lassig Glam Rosie Bag is a great product. It makes life easier as a mum as you can have the bag on your shoulder, across your body or as a backpack. The backpack option is great as it means you are completely hands free. The bag has plenty of space for storage without being too large. There are a couple of clever features too, such as a waterproof pocket and a special clip which attaches to a key ring so you will never have to empty your bag again to find your keys!
Would you choose this product to win?
I would probably choose this product above others mainly for the backpack function. It's just so useful to have your bag on you but not in the way. The bag is much more stylish than your average change bag, I really like the colour selection available and the rose gold zips are a really nice touch. The clever key ring feature also means I can find my keys every time without having to empty the whole bag! There are lots of compartments in the bag which is helpful, though it would be better if there were additional pouches like the Pac-a-pod for lunches. The bag is at a higher price point for change bags, however I do think that it is worth it.
What changes would you make to this product?
If I could change anything about the Lassig Glam Rosie bag, I would change the backpack strap material to a softer more comfortable material. This feature is excellent and the main selling point in my opinion, but in the summer months when the straps are on bare skin it can become a little uncomfortable. I would also make the bag a little smaller, as it is quite large (great as you can take everything you need though) which can make it a bit bulky when used as a backpack.
