Returns Best Travel Changing Mats 2023
It's that time of year and hopefully you're looking forward to a well earned break.
I would say 'rest' but holidays with children are rarely restful!
If this is your first trip away with your little one, you may well be thinking of investing in a travel change mat.
At home you may prefer an anti roll wedge type mat with raised sides or even the shnuggle squishy baby changing mat, but they aren't very portable!
Baby travel changing mats are brilliant to have on hand anyway as they're so versatile. If it rolls or folds, you can pop it in your changing bag for occasions when you don't have a changing table nearby. Or there is a changing table but it's plastic and going to be cold. Or possibly cold and manky.
With a new baby, we know that your time is short, so we've scoured the internet to compile a list for you. Here's our list of the best travel change mats 2023:

- XL Plush Travel Changing Mat - Cheeky
- Swim Travel Mat - Bambino Mio
- Deluxe Portable Change Mat - Jojo Maman Bebe

On the Move Change Mat - Bambino Mio
These cute change mats come in a range of different designs so there's sure to be one you'll love. This classic travel change mat has a polyester terry reverse so it's soft on your baby's bum, plus it's slightly padded too. Best of all it folds down and poppers closed for easy transporting.
Size: Only the folded dimensions seem to be available which is 4cm x 15cm x 21cm.
Washing Instructions: Machine washable
Material: 100% Polyester / Terry
Price: £13.99
Customer Review (Amazon): "I needed a changing mat that would fit in a toddler size backpack and this was the only one that I could find at a reasonable price which would fit.
It folds up to the size of A5 paper (can be folded again if needed) and it’s very light. The changing surface is really soft, and the outer patterned surface is waterproof. My only criticism is that the changing surface is not a wipe down surface so if it gets dirty it needs to be laundered so you may need to buy a couple."
Cheeky XL Portable Travel Change Mat

Swim Change Mat - Bambino Mio
Another option from Bambino Mio. This swim change mat solves the problem of how to change your baby after swimming lessons. It rolls up too for easy carrying.
