Thoughts on Diaper Bags

Baby diaper bags come in many forms these days. These bags for babies, or ‘nappy bags’, have evolved with a huge number of useful and not so useful features. Also, read this about Diaper Bags Safety.

• Straps
  An adjustable strap will let you share the carry-duty with your partner. A long strap allows you to wear it right over the opposite shoulder, so it won’t slip off.
• Stroller clip
  A stroller with a large enough basket means you won’t need a stroller clip.
• Changing pad
  As baby grows, these built in changing pads start to seem too small. Make sure to get one you can grow with, or just bring your own pad.
• Extra pockets
  Many pockets on the outside means less rummaging on the inside. Be wary of keeping your wallet and keys or cell phone in here though. Thieves are betting you will, and diaper bags are prime targets as they sit unattended far too often.
• Base
  A bag that stands up by itself is as good as an extra hand. You can always use another hand looking after baby.
• Color
  Make sure your partner can live with your choices here, otherwise two bags mean lots of transferring from one tote to the other.
• Size
  Cloth diapers will need a bit more room. Be mindful that any size bag will always be full.
• Closure
  Well made zippers are most durable, velcro will always wake baby up anytime it is unstuck from whatever it is stuck on now. You need good fasteners because someone will drop the bag.
• Extra features:
  A wipe carrying case is not worth extra money as long as sandwich bags exist. Wipes will dry out anyway, so refreshing the supply for travel should be routine.
• Tethered Inner accessory bag
  Actually kind of handy, like an extra outer pocket.
• Insulated pockets
  Breastmilk and formula usually go in these, but warm or cool packs will do as well.

Diaper Bags have certainly evolved, so take note of the features you need, and buy the best one you can afford.
