Do I actually need a Diaper Bag?
The short answer is YES! This is obviously my own opinion, however from experience, a good Diaper Bag is essential and especially since you’ll likely use it for 3 to 5 years, so makes a great investment.
Diaper Bags are purpose built for Baby and You, they tend to have more room and are easier to organized. Most Diaper Bags will have separate compartments for bottles, wipes, laptops, phone, keys. Other Diaper Bags will come with stroller straps so you can easily attach them to your pram (most regular bags don’t have these features). Also, some bags offer lots more diaper bag accessories too, such as a change mat, bottle holders, shoulder straps or clips.
What Style Diaper Bag is Best?
Your Diaper bag will be your best friend for a couple of years, so choose a style that suits your lifestyle. If you like your space, consider a tote. If you like your hands free, consider a larger backpack. Or if you’re a minimalist, a smaller lightweight backpack should do the job. You’ll need to decide if a leather Diaper bag will work for you or is nylon baby bag or canvas baby bag better suited? There are so many choices it can be hard to decide.
What Makes a Good Diaper Bag?
Most important and top of my list of Diaper Bag ‘must haves’ is storage space. You’ll need a bag big enough to carry all the bits and bobs bub needs. Beyond just diapers, think change mat, change of clothes, wipes, bottles, snacks, toys and if you have a toddler or even twins you can double this list!
Most Diaper Bags will come with built-in pockets, dividers and even waterproof sections making organization easier. Waterproof Diaper Bags are also an awesome feature for all those inevitable spills, making it much easier to clean up!
Stroller straps are also great to have so you can have you hands-free and you’ll easily be able to access all the baby bag essentials while the bag is hanging on the pram. The list goes on-and-on, so I’ve rounded up The Top 5 Best Selling Diaper Bags below:
