When we get chatting to our customers (and we do love a good chinwag!) we always like to ask them how they first came to hear of our changing bags.

And with more and more customers telling us they looked us up after seeing a great review on a parenting blog, we think it’s high time we gave these fabulous bloggers the praise they deserve!

When it comes to parenting blogs there is nowhere for us to hide; bloggers always offer the most honest reviews of the products they test-drive (leading us to feel a teeny bit nervous every time we come across a new PacaPod review!). Luckily for us the reviews so far have been positive, articulate and more often than not highly entertaining!

We’d like to say a big thank you to all the hard-working bloggers who have taken time to review a PacaPod bag. Here’s our pick of the best reviews in recent months:

Lucy at It’s A Mummy Look included the Sequoia in her top holiday essentials after a long car journey with the family to France this summer. Read Lucy’s review here.

Sarah at Simply Woman Magazine chooses the new Oban in glossy red as her Bag of the Day last month! Read Sarah’s review here.

Laura at The Life and Times of the Working Mum reviewed the Almora bag in Gunmetal, the latest colour for Autumn/Winter. Read Laura’s review here.

What an exciting time we’re having here at PacaPod HQ.

With a new division opening in Devon (more on that later!), a tonne of recent press coverage, 2 splendid awards to brag about and a new AW12 collection coming soon, it’s safe to say we haven’t been dragging our feet lately!

First up in our summer round up is the fantastic news that PacaPod has won the Mumsnet Best Award for the third year running!

Couple this with our Mumpreneur Best Website Award and we’re literally dancing around the office (apologies to the floor below for all the stomping...).

In other exciting PacaPod news our AW12 collection is now available to pre-order on our website. Choose from the luxurious Firenze or the cool and classic Oban, and not forgetting your old favourites, the Portland and Almora are available in new colours too!

The PacaPod team are thrilled to introduce our latest arrival... Spacious, iconic and with a stylish mix of natural fabrics and leather, the Mirano looks set to make a lasting impression for 2012.  Available in classic Chalk to pre-order now, make it your 'must-have' bag for the new year! And don't despair we haven't forgotten your old favourites either - the Napier will be available in beautiful Duck Egg, while the Almora dazzles in Tomato!

Like thousands of designers across the globe, we've always been inspired by international fashion and design magazine Collezioni, which showcases the best products on the market right now, including designs from up-and-coming brands to well-established names in the industry. As you can imagine, Collezioni's word on design is golden, so we were delighted to hear that PacaPod had been awarded the seal of approval in their latest publication.  Describing our baby changing bags as "extremely handy and elegant", we're feeling quite invigorated by such an accolade!
