When I was expecting my baby #1, one of the things that really bothered me, was the thought of having to give up carrying my nice handbags for months (years?!), and instead tote around the ugly monstrosities that are changing bags.
Even prior to having kids, I used to always look at mothers toting them around and wonder what in the world they brought with them leaving the house?! Surely people climbed Everest with less baggage than these people packed for a trip to the local park and a stop at Supervalue on the way pack?! It was beyond me.
I remember going around the shops when I was eight months pregnant with a friend, moaning over the
selection of changing bags, one dowdier and more gigantic and clumpy than the next – and coming back home empty handed. Sure I was going to be a mother now, but did that really mean I had to give up my style for the foreseeable future? I hoped not.
So I put my journalistic skills to (good) use, and set out searching the vast Internet for a bag that would do the job, while still looking like something I would actually like to carry around. And what I found, actually turned out to be better than I would have dared hope for.
I give you the
TotesSavvy – and invention so genius it will bring a tear to your hormonal eye.

What makes this so great? Well, ladies, i am glad you asked. Basically, the TotesSavvy is an organizational insert that will let you turn any large tote into a fully functional changing bag.
This clever device fits easily inside most totes, and the rigid yet flexible walls will keep every pocket upright and easily accessible inside your handbag.
There is plenty of room for all the bits you need to cart around (bottle, nappies, wipes, your own keys, phone, some teethers, you name it, this yoke has room for it. Without you having to compromise on your style (and wave good-bye to your favourite handbags) for even a second.
Did I not tell you it was a game-changer?! Just take a look for yourself:
Genius, or what?!
