Changing pads with personality (yes, there is such a thing)
After changing three little bums on the go, I've learned never to underestimate the power of a fantastic diaper changing pad. And while lots of diaper bags these days come with their own matching changing pads, the majority tend to be an afterthought and not the prime feature.

The diaper changing mats from Rugged Idea - these I am digging. Created by two smart mamas, the mats have got a lot of thoughtful stuff going on. The nylon makes the pad comfy for baby and easy to wipe off (always key) while the fleece underside is rugged, soft, and fairly water resistant. It's all topped off with a cute rick rack and ribbon detail.

If you don't need a changing pad anymore (lucky you!), then make sure to check out their larger sized blankets - perfect for outings and picnics. Rugged idea? Try brilliant idea. -Kristen

You'll find a lovely selection of Rugged Idea changing pads and blankets at City Living Baby.

Congratulations to Kelly B, lucky winner of the Rugged Idea changing pad!
