The Miracle Box are out to make life easier for parents with “innovaative lifestyle parenting products” – they’ve got all the bits and bobs you might not have even thought about but would soon wonder how you’d lived without.

This is the perfect get up and go changing travel station. It has been made to fully open with one hand. The wallet includes a carry handle and a simple clip to attatch to any buggy. When fully open the large change mat with padded head section measures 54cm x 54cms. The wallet also includes two zip compartments for personal items and one mesh pocket for wipes and nappies. Also fits into most baby change bags!
I hate to think how many times I’ve got caught out with a lack of facilities and ended up trying to find something to lie on the floor of a toilet before I put my little one down – this solves that problem hands down!

Lovely competition. Our first baby is being born by section on Thursday so this would be fab.
I don't have any 'caught short' stories … yet

Best of luck for Thursday! x x
Just the other day, I wa sin a cafe with my 11 month old when I discovered they didn't have any baby change facilities. Had to change her on the floor of the toilet which wasn't ideal.
A few times :(. We had to use park benches, the pram (I refused to lie her on the floor of a public toilet) and friends beds before
What a lovely prize. It will help the winner to "be prepared".
Loads and Loads of times, I ended up leaving back up wipes/nappies/spare clothes in the car because whatever I took with me never seemed enough, the amount of times I have had to dry trousers or similar in a public toilet using the hand dryer, because of a dropped drink, child fell in a puddle etc etc, and finding somewhere to change them! usually on my knee because no facilities
yes I have, In first week of my daughters life, I found it hard to remember changing bag , once I ended up buying everything I needed in shopping centre x
Thankfully many places have baby changing areas. If they don't I change baby on my knee in toilet. Just as I had to do in the past with relatives baby/ babies years ago :- When there were only a few Mother and Baby changing areas. A baby changing area is a blessing. as sufficient space and privacy nowadays compared to years ago. Luckily keep bag suitably stocked, not forgotten anything yet. Though finding items in bag can take time.

Loads of times – my little ones always decided to do smelly poos on buses and metros – so everyone would be sniffing, opening windows and looking at me with evil eyes!

There have been several times I've been stuck with nowhere to change them. A lot of the places around here do not have baby changing facilities which is really annoying.

We've had to get creative with changing location's quite a few times, the boot of the car comes in quite handy. I've also run out of wipes halfway through a change before which was not great.
We always seem to end up in places without baby change facilities! As you can imagine that makes changing a nightmare.
We once had to pull over just off the M42 and change our son on the back seat of the car in a layby.
no im always prepared!
I had to change my son on the floor in a pub at Christmas as they did not have any changing facilities.
