It's a boy! As Kate Middleton gives birth to her third child, we round up the best changing bags fit for the Duchess of Cambridge.

When you have a baby, leaving the house with every last essential can feel like a military operation. But the right changing bag can help you travel with ease.

If the usual floral or cupcake-covered options are not to your taste, these carry-alls are not only practical, but super stylish too.
