It's impossible to look at a sweet new baby's smile without smiling back. As any mother will tell you, they will do almost anything to make their baby happy, contented, and smiling. This can include indulging your baby with the best you can provide such as the perfect Diaper Bag. The right Diaper Bag can make life easier for both you and your baby. Having all your essentials accessible at all times will help make both your lives stress-free and enjoyable. As a mother, you might forget your cell phone, or your make-up, but you can never forget to have this essential accessory with you! Because it's so important, it's critical that you select the right bag for your individual needs. Here we'll discuss a few suggestions of how to select the appropriate bag.
1. The diaper bag is for you, the mom, not the baby. Even if you have four boys, it is completely acceptable to purchase a pink diaper bag, if that's what you want to carry. The bag should be something you not only feel meets your need, but represents your style in a unique way. Designer Diaper Bags are a great way to maintain style while having a bag that functions as a diaper bag.
2. When I chose my first diaper bag, I wanted to pick something that my husband would also carry. This was a bad idea! He's carried it from the table to the bathroom four or five times when one of my daughters needed a diaper change, or he would carry it out of church when I had too many things to carry. He never wore it as a diaper bag, but carried it as a man would if he were holding a woman's purse outside of a bathroom for her. That diaper bag didn't last long, as I soon realized choosing it based on his opinion was much like choosing a shirt he would like to also wear. The diaper bag needed to represent MY style. We eventually chose another (small) diaper bag for him that he would feel comfortable taking if he was out with the girls for longer than a few hours.
3. When choosing your Diaper Bag, it's important to know your style of organization. Do you like the idea of lots of pockets and "cubbies"? Do you like a large, open bag that gives you space to throw things? Do pockets and cubbies annoy you? Or do you like to have special places to put bottles, pacifiers, keys, and other belongings? Understand your style and your degree of organization to allow you to choose a corresponding bag. It's even a good idea to talk to a few friends that share your general level of organization to see what they find helpful.
4. Be unique! There are so many options now for not having the same bag as every other mom. One great way is to get a monogrammed diaper bag, or a personalized diaper bag. You can choose to have you or the baby's initials or traditional monogram put on the bag, or the baby's name.
5. Think long term. Your diaper bag can be an investment, as they are well made and fashionable enough to last you a long time! Once your child is out of diapers, you can use the bag as a laptop bag, or an overnight bag for your son or daughter to take on overnighters.
6. Consider how you will want to carry the bag. A backpack style allows you to have your hands free more often, but a tote bag makes it easy to reach in and grab things quickly. Many bags have the option to hook them over your stroller, which means you don't always have that weight on your back. Think about how you tend to carry things, and take this into consideration.
7. What kind of closure do you like? Options range from zippers, magnetic snaps (either inside the bag or a flap over the top), button closures, and ribbon closures. Each has negatives and positives. Decide if it's more important to you that your things don't spill out (if you'll be tossing the bag in the car) or if more room is important to you.
8. Think about ordering a custom diaper bag, especially if you see elements of many different bags that you like. You may like the closure of one, but prefer the fabric of another, while you appreciate the number of pockets on a completely different one. On our site, we offer the option to have a seamstress make you a custom bag, that will fit your specifications exactly.
9. Decide what size of bag you need. Are you looking for something for quick trips out of the house, or would you prefer to keep everything you need with you for a whole day out (or are you like me, an over packer in general, so you need a huge bag even for quick outings!)? Check out our diaper bag packing list for ideas of what you might need to bring.
10. Finally, (and this one is critical to me) consider who made the bag you are buying. It is easy to find a $30 bag at Walmart or Target that you may have to replace quickly because it is either poorly made or does not have the elements that are important in a diaper bag. Each of our handmade diaper bags are designed or made by moms who know what you are looking for in a diaper bag. You can always be sure that our bags will be well made by someone who has considered your unique needs as a new mommy.
