Having been there and done that it, depends on wether you want a bag that folds out with a change mat or or just a bag to hold the bits and pieces you need.
My preference was to have one that folded open to have a change mat in the middle of it. (get one where you can take the mat out and wash it when needed) Ours was black so it didn't look too bad carrying it around and you could have put molle straps on it if you whished. The benefit of the fold out mat is you can change them wherever and when you need to, very quickly and with everything to hand.
If you just have a bag with stuff in it can take quite a bit longer and if its a leaky nappy you don't want to waste time.
I also suggest modding your pram like below to help fight your way through crowds of other people with prams

What do you need it for? OK nappies, yes that's a given - but a change mat too. Some antibac gel. A few toys, teething gel, toothbrush, maybe a "cold/warm" compartment or two for baby food and milk?
Considering the above I'd consider some of the bags made for fishing/packed lunches. Also get something you can easily attach to a push chair, quickly get into and out of, and something you can swing around to your front/back when you need it.
[EDIT]
You'd get away with this...

I wore a snugpak response pack around my waist when my daughter was younger, I used a schmagh as a changing mat when needed, although I was usually changing her outdoors so I wasn't worried about the schmagh getting 'soiled' by something left on a changing room table by a previous user.
Small toys, nappies, a spare 'onesie' gloves and scarf on colder days, a sunhat, water, toothbush and toothpaste when she was older. A nappie bag isn't always with you when you and you child are out, having something around your waist (which also holds wallet, keys etc) was just handier.
Rather than try to stuff everything into the pack, the 'child maintenance pack' nappies, wet wipes, spare clothes etc. was rolled up into the schmagh which was attached to the bottom of the bag with some elasticated cord, which made everything readily available once unrolled.

+1 on the Response pack, used it for all three of my lads with a Thermorest seat rolled up stuffed under the straps. It's the most use I got out of it to be honest.

actually depends on the age of the child, 0-3 months a 85litre bergan will JUST fit what you take with you, 3-6 months you'll possibly get away with 45l, at 12 months you'll likely get away with the response pak.
i'm not kidding here, your first outing will be so heavily loaded you'll wonder exactly which army you're moving kit for.

A game bag/fishing bag worked for me, but then i was considerd cruel as i "walked" mine on an extendable dog lead.

My Finnish bag has served me well in this role. But I accept it's not to everyone taste and not particularly "tactical", I do have a British DPM bag which gets a smile when the dad's meet up with the little ones at the playground.
Lots of compartments in both and less that a tenner. Happy days.

I found it much easier to change a baby on a small towel than a plastic mat. The nappy changing bag with plastic fold out mat was used until little miss (now 5'8'!!) Had a liquid evac and created a mess so bad the purpose made nappy bag had to be binned. A towel catches stuff, it is multi use, it is fully washable. I used a canvas bag (army surplus) with spare nappies, wipes, towel and food.
I have been using a Helikon Wombat shoulder bag for the last month or so. It's perfect for me and the nipper. It even has internal pockets which would keep bottles upright. http://www.military1st.co.uk/tb-wbt-po-11-helikon-wombat-shoulder-bag-coyote.html
With safety in mind when you take the baby out to the archery club,

er just get a bog standard changing bag in black and save some wonga, bottom line is no need to look cool as your now a dad. Women wont even give you a second look cause your a dad and off the market so chin up and just use the one that comes with the pram set and dont care what people think....:-D
I was just about to post the same link!
Actually, I found just the opposite when both of mine were babies, had to beat women off with a stick when I was out in the supermarket with a baby
