We’re thrilled to start the year with a piece of good news – PacaPod has been given a Mums Love Award by popular parenting site BabyWorld!
This award is in recognition of the wonderful reviews left on the website by PacaPod owners, so we’d like to thank all who took the time to tell the online community what they think of their changing bag!
It might feel beyond chilly outside but all thoughts of icy weather melted away when we caught sight of Baby London’s Hot Product page this month – the magazine’s gone wild for our animal print Changer Toy Pods, which look set to make a lot of adventurous tots very happy this Christmas!
These cute and colourful Pods are available in Red Leopard (pictured), Navy Zebra and Pink Giraffe, and at just £19.95 they make the perfect travel companion for your mini explorers!
Struggling with what to put under the tree this year? Let the Baby London Xmas Gift Guide come to your rescue with ideas for all the family, including the perfect pressie for any new Dad – a PacaPod Picos Pack!
Dread packing for your family holiday? End up taking half the wardrobe only to find your children wearing the same thing for a fortnight?!?
The school holidays are finally here, and that means it’s time for mum to face the dreaded job of packing for the family holiday. With the kids insisting that all 83 inflatable pool toys they’ve accumulated need to go with them and the baby screaming in the background, dad’s gone off to google which inflight movie to watch on the plane and you’re left reminiscing about a time when your toughest decision would be whether to take 8 bikinis or 9 (i.e. the pre-children years).
Savvy parenting magazine Mumsense knows what we’re talking about and is here to lend a hand, offering advice on where to go and what to take. The PacaPod baby changing bag acts as the perfect piece of hand luggage for the plane journey – no more frantic scrabbling around in your bag for baby wipes while whacking elbows on arm rests (and on any unlucky passers-by) – you can relax and keep calm, knowing everything is in place.
It’s always great to receive feedback from our customers, so we were delighted to hear from celebrity parents Ben and Marina Fogle on their love for PacaPod:
“We love our PacaPod, congratulations on creating such a brilliant product, we have been using it constantly. We absolutely love it and have been using all elements – from the whole thing to taking out just the individual pods. I must say I can’t fault it – I love the little symbols on the different compartments and you’ve really thought of everything. Well done you!”
Ben and Marina have two children; Ludo, 1 and Iona, born in May this year. You can catch up on all of Ben’s latest adventures on his website.
We’re getting rather excited about the launch of our brand new Sequoia changing bag next week – we think it’s going to be an absolute knockout and it looks like Pregnancy & Birth magazine agree, they’ve included it as one of their must have buys for summer!
Visitors to popular parents website (and lifeline!) Mumsnet, have voted PacaPod the Best Baby Changing Bag on the market for a second year running! Have you reviewed your PacaPod yet?
With June supposedly welcoming the start of summer (I’m sure the sunny weather is right around the corner, honest…) it’s time to get those last minute essentials for your impending two-week escape from this gloriously rainy country (otherwise known as your summer holiday).
Now, during your pre-baby years the most important items to remember to pack were the teeniest bikini to show off that pre-baby body (sigh) and enough spare Euros to set upon Duty Free like a kid in a sweetshop.
Alas, with the arrival of a baby comes the need to be that little bit more prepared; whilst travelling, your baby changing bag will have to be sanctuary of orderliness, this is why June’s issue of Pregnancy & Birth magazine has recommended the PacaPod Napier changing bag in Tutti Frutti for the job. Buy yours here and relax knowing that everything your baby needs is neatly tucked inside the PacaPod and at your side wherever your summer adventures take you.
With the festival season on the horizon, the latest edition of Baby London magazine has shared it’s Festival Essentials for families, featuring our PacaPod Almora changing bag. Load up the PacaPod and get ready for a day of trudging through muddy fields without worrying whether you’ve left the nappy cream or wet wipes back at the tent.
If you’re a parent, you won’t need telling that going to a festival with a baby in tow is a rather different experience from going pre-baby. But that doesn’t mean it’s any less enjoyable. The golden rule when attending a festival with a baby is to remember to take your sense of humour with you – things won’t always go to plan and routines won’t be adhered to, so instead of trying in vain to maintain your baby’s feeding and sleeping patterns, throw caution to the wind and embrace your spirit of adventure!
Not all festivals are suited to families and young children, so do your research before buying tickets, and don’t despair if your favourite festival in your pre-baby years doesn’t accommodate for families, choose a family-friendly festival you haven’t explored before and enjoy that your baby is leading you on a new adventure.
Family-friendly festivals are popping up all over the UK, here are our top choices:
Remember when attending a festival with your children, you must change your expectations. There’s no point in expecting to do the same things you did before you had your little one. Enjoy it for what it is – precious time to spend enjoying yourself with your baby. And if you’re still not convinced about camping with baby in tow, remember you can always stay in a nearby hotel instead!
On top of what you’d usually take in your PacaPod bag (click here for packing advice), here’s some suggestions for extra festival-related necessities:
As endorsed by Australia & New Zealand Magazine your adventures are truly limitless with the PacaPod Phoenix changing bag.
It looks like the PacaPod love is spreading far and wide, reaching the adventure-loving Antipodean community!
Our PacaPod Coromandel is becoming quite the little Superstar!
The latest praise for this season’s ‘must have’ changing bag comes from I’m Pregnant magazine, which has chosen the Coromandel as one of it’s “perfect accessories”.
The PacaPod Coromandel has won the Highly Commended Award for ‘Best Changing Bag’ for 2011. As a relative newcomer in this category we are delighted to be recognised by the prestigious Junior Design Awards from the world’s finest parenting magazine.
Take a walk on the wild side this summer with a PacaPod Toy Pod, as featured in May’s edition of Practical Parenting and Pregnancy magazine. These quirky cute bags are guaranteed to score points with your little ones, and will help to lighten the load for you too!
Happy Mothers Day, to all Mums (expectant and new!) – PacaPod is in Heat Magazine this month as a recommended gift guide purchase…. That’s our Mothers day gift sorted!
“Someone has come up with a baby bag that a man can be seen in public with. PacaPod’s tick every necessity a child seems to need should the world end while taking a stroll around the park – a worthy investment beyond its baby shelf life.”
Out on test, the Changing Pod Bag has just earned 5 out of 5 for both features and value for money up against 2 other changing products on test. They say:
“This is the bag for the mum who is, or who wants to be, organised! You can instantly see where everything is and what you’ve run out of. The detachable pouch is great for emergency clothes for a newborn and we love the side pocket for first aid necessities – we’ll never be caught without baby paracetamol again! The soft fleecey bit on the change mat for baby’s head is a nice touch too. The PacaPod would be great for leaving at a creche or with a babysitter.”

” I absolutely love Pacapod. It’s a great organisational tool for disorganised people like me and the bags are so versatile and gorgeous that they ‘ll be in use for years. Long after the children have grown, you’ll still be using your Pacapod! ”
Valerie Smith, Editor – I’m Pregnant! magazine
