Top 10 Diaper Bags Every Mom Should Know

If there’s anything we should call a “staple” when it comes to baby products in the first years of motherhood, then it would be DIAPER BAGS. Leaving home with your baby requires an easy and hands-on effective carriage system that allows you to pack everything you may – and may not – need when you’re away from home. 

If you’re wondering why you possibly need to pack so much stuff, even for the briefest outing, remember that babies are yet to have immunity as much as you do, so who says you don’t need to pack a flannel or sweater even on the hottest day? Add to that, they’re certainly going to feed a couple of times while you’re out. The expressed breast milk or bottles of formula have to be kept safe, securely covered, and in sanitary condition, even warm, right? We thought so, too. 

That’s not to mention toys, rattles, and other pacifiers that may save you from uncontrolled public wailing. Then, there’s a flask of water, diapers, wipes, diaper rash cream, ointment or powder, a change of clothes, too, for when the one they’re wearing gets soiled or stained because babies will be babies. Add all of these and more, and we bet you’ll have enough ‘essential needs’ to rival a traveler’s luggage. So, if you’re going to be pulling that much baby stuff EVERYWHERE you go with your baby, you’ll need them handy, packed, and organized. That’s where diaper bags come in!

In all, whatever you choose, don’t forget that functionality is the most important thing to consider when choosing a diaper bag. How do you want to carry the bag – as a backpack, a tote, or a messenger bag? Would you be packing regularly for long trips? How many hours – on the average – would your regular trips last? Are you expecting twins, triplets, or more? These will help streamline the non-negotiables when making a choice. The size, storage, and compartments, strength and fabric durability and quality should be of topmost priority to you.
