We’ve teamed up with the super stylish Ruby and GINGER to bring you our top dos and don’ts when it comes to the subject of nappies and holidays. We’ve also got a fabulous competition for you so read on….
Nappies Abroad: Buying, changing and all that what not.
• Do pack enough nappies for the flight, potential delays and your first day & night and then buy the rest on holiday to save valuable suitcase space. Check the BabyAbroad information for where to buy nappies in Spain, Italy and France.
• Do take a small change bag on a flight. There’s never enough space in the aeroplane for you, your baby and an enormous change bag. We have the perfect one for you in our competition so keep reading…
• Don’t expect there to be good changing facilities everywhere you go. Restaurants particularly maybe lacking a change table, so be prepared to use your buggy; where possible, change baby before you go in.
• Do take nappy sacks. You’ll find baby wipes in supermarkets and pharmacies abroad, but not all places stock nappy sacks.
• And finally, do always carry a travel change mat (yes, we’ve got one of those for you too…) for baby’s hygiene and comfort.

All of the prints are lovely but I like Berries best. It looks just the right size to pop in my own bag rather than having to take a seperate bag with me
i would like to win this for my next grandchild, who will be born in the new year, i love the look of the funky flower print. really handy item, especially useful on a plane, when there is a severe lack of space
im 30 weeks pregnant and have 4yr old twins this would be fab for quickness x
I’ve just found your site and I’ve signed up. It’s fabulous! I’d love to win the funky flower design as it would help brighten up those moments when mum and baby have to nip out
This would be really handy
What a beautiful set. My friend is a new first time mum and I’d love to give this to her for little Mya. Both my kids are past the baby change stage but I remember what it was like! The Wallpaper design is my favourite – lovely retro feel to it.
signed up! fab prize xx
Have signed up to your newsletter. I’d love to win the nipping out set in funky flower material because in my experience there is no such thing as ‘nipping out’ with a baby. Everywhere we go with Daisy we seem to take half the conents of our house with us! We are off on our hols to Portugal in January and one of these sets would be so useful for the airplane! @piperanddaisy

Baby number two is on its way. I had a similar thing for my first but it got totally worn out so a new one would be good.

I would love to win one because in the area I live there is a severe lack of changing facilities. It’s terrible, I often have to resort to changing my little mans nappies in the most difficult of places. This would be extremely useful for us. Ilove the Funky Flower one best.
Thank you for the lovely competition.
would love one of these, they not only look great but would be soooo useful! I love the berries one
what a lovely looking compact design for a travel change bag! … my baby is slightly older but i still have to go everywhere armed with nappies but loath to take a huge change bag, so this would be perfect to pop in the bottom of the buggy so I always have it there when i need it! … loving the wallpaper design, appeals to my retro taste!
It will be amazing to have it always in the car with my 3 kids, I like all the different models
This would be an amzing gift for my friend who is having a baby in the very near future
It hasn’t been the easiest of pregnancies, and this would be perfect to really cheer her up
I am subscribed to your newsletter.
Funky flower print is the one I like. Would be fantastic to use when travelling with my little one.
I will be having my baby early next year,and this looks like a wonderful prize to win. Super handy for days out compact and in such beautiful designs. I love the berry design very much. This would be perfect for me to be able to use every day on both short trips and long trips away from home.xxx
