What is the best diaper bag?

The diaper bag is an essential childcare accessory for young parents!

A great ally that will follow you from the arrival of your baby and throughout the years to come.

The trendy diaper bag!

If in the past the diaper bag was a tacky accessory with old-fashioned patterns, today it is a fashion accessory in its own right.
There is no accounting for taste and it is now easy to find the right shoe for your feet! Or rather a bag for your shoulder!

The diaper bag comes in different shapes, different sizes but also with lots of different and varied patterns!
But it is not easy to choose among all these bags, which is why we are going to give you some tips in this article to guide you as best as possible in your choice to define what will be YOUR ideal diaper bag...

First of all, why buy a diaper bag instead of a regular bag?

The diaper bag is specially designed to hold baby's essentials. Thanks to its large capacity, you can carry all your child's things when you go for a walk.
The capacity of diaper bags is much greater than classic bags, which makes them functional and will make your task easier in terms of organization by also allowing you to store your own things (wallet, cell phone, etc.) in order to avoid taking two bags.

An exemplary organization!

Thanks to the multiple interior and exterior pockets that the diaper bags have, everything will be in its place. You will not need to remove everything from the bag to find the baby's bottle, or the comforter or even the wipes that you were sure to have placed on the top of the bag.
This allows you to find what you want in the blink of an eye, and to enjoy serenely, without any stress, these precious moments of life with your baby...

What criteria should you use to choose your diaper bag?

First, the size

Choose a bag that can hold at least the basic baby items that you will need when you go out for walks (see below for the basics of a changing bag).

The compartments

The more pockets and storage you have, the easier it will be for you to organize.

The weight

If you carry your baby in a sling, then choose a rather light bag to protect your back. If you take your baby for a walk in a stroller, then don't hesitate to take a heavier bag that will attach to the stroller.

The matter

Make sure your future diaper bag is made of easily washable material or even waterproof fabric. We are not immune to a leaking bottle or a jar that spills. And in this kind of situation we are very happy to have a bag that is easy to clean. Speaking of bottles, you will also find bags with insulated pockets to keep your bottles at the right temperature.

Now that you have all the tips for choosing your ideal diaper bag, do you know what accessories you need to take with you everywhere?

Among the basics there will be:
- Layers (around 3 or 4), to be adapted according to the walk
- Wipes (travel size to save space)
- 1 bottle of water
- Change of clothes
- 1 bib (or 2)
- 1 small bag for used diapers or dirty laundry
- 1 bottle or small jars for baby's meal
- 1 comforter
- 1 toy to entertain your baby (especially when changing)
- The pacifier or soother
- The health record
