When you’re expecting, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by information spouting from every direction, both solicited and the all-too-common unsolicited variety. With so many choices to make in only 40 short weeks of pregnancy, why spend more than 5 minutes selecting a diaper bag? Here’s how to choose a great bag every time. For tips on packing a {cloth} diaper bag, read here.
How to Choose a {Great} Diaper Bag :
- Buy it big enough for everything AND small enough to tote around comfortably.
- Look for outer pockets. Easy, quick access to necessities in split-seconds.
- Compartments, compartments, compartments. No fumbling around here.
- Over-the-shoulder strap. When you’re toting groceries, stuffing receipts into your wallet, and trying to hold onto your curious toddler, this will be a life saver. The more free hands you have, the better.
- Machine-washable. Makes life so much easier. Toss it in dirty, take it out clean.
- Elastic bottle-holding bands inside. These helpful bands keep bottles upright to avoid spills.
- Dark colored bags are less likely to show dirt.
- Sturdy, good quality but not necessarily couture. You want this to last, right?
