I remember searching for the perfect diaper bag. There were so many to choose from, different shapes, colors, and styles. How on earth do you choose the right diaper bag?
Choosing the right diaper bag shouldn’t be stressful, it should be fun. Sure, there are so many to choose from, but they all offer you something unique and that is exciting. So stop stressing about which diaper bag you should buy, take a deep breath, and get what you like.
Have some fun. You need to choose a diaper bag that is going to fit your daily needs. If you are a new mom, talk to other moms, read online, and think about everything you will need to carry with you once the baby is here. In my opinion, when purchasing a diaper bag I tend to go with the “Go Big or Go Home” motto, but I know not everyone would agree. If you are having trouble trying to decide on a diaper bag here are a few tips to help you get started.
Five Tips To Help You Choose The Right Diaper Bag
What’s Your Budget?
Before you start looking for a diaper bag be sure to set a budget. There are some great diaper bags in a wide range of prices. Find a budget that works for you and stick with it.
Does the diaper bag match your personality?
Rather than choosing something with pink bunnies that the baby might or might not like when they get older, choose something you like. Baby doesn’t care what the diaper bag looks like, and you are the one who will be carrying (okay, lugging) it around. When choosing a diaper bag look for something that you like, that fits your personality, and that you enjoy carrying
with you. I know plenty of moms who have traded in, or downsized their handbags for a diaper bag. Choose something you like, as long as it has everything you need the baby will not care what it looks like.
Is it Functional?
If you can’t use it, what is the point in having it? I love a lot of pockets, and always looked for a diaper bag with the matching wristlets.Since I ditched my handbag, I needed something to carry all my belongings in,you know ID,credit card, makeup, and keys lol. My sister-in-law downsized her handbag so she could toss it in the diaper bag.
What Size Diaper Bag Will Fit Your Needs?
First, you need to be sure you choose a diaper bag that is large enough to carry everything you need. I always looked for a bag that came with all the bells and whistles. In my opinion it’s worth spending a little extra money to make my life easier, more comfortable, and of course stylish. Plus there are some great bags out that are totally affordable,like the diaper bags you’ll find at Luv My Bag.
Think about dad
Luv My Bag carries bags for daddy too? Yup, no need to worry about dad, just grab him a bag from Luv My Bag. I know Shawn used to beg to me get him his own diaper bag. He didn’t want to carry around my big old pink bag, lol. If I had known that there were dad bags Shawn would have gotten one. I know he would have appreciated a cool camouflage dad bag.

Here are a few of my favorite bags from Luv My Bag:
Pink Lining Yummy Mummy Grey Bows
The Pink Lining Yummy Mummy Grey Bows diaper bag is super cute. I just love the super cute cupcake embroidered on the front canvas. There are two side pockets, which have elastic and a perfect for carrying a bottle of water and snacks. The shoulder strap can be adjusted so it can be made long enough to fit over any stroller. It has several great features, like 2 insulated bottle holders, 2x diaper pockets, key fob, pen holder, padded changing mat, we zip bag, and small zipper pocket. The colors are nice. It’s adult enough for me to love it, and the cupcake lets everyone know it’s a diaper bag. Which personally speaking, I want people to know it’s a diaper bag, because I am a proud mom.

I don’t know about you, but I want room in my diaper bag. This bag has plenty of it too. Whether you are heading to a play date, the grocery store, or heading to the beach for the day this bag is perfect. Plus, it’s made of 100% Coated Cotton Canvas, features an interior lined with chocolate-brown canvas, and SIX awesome pockets inside the already super roomy interior.
JuJu BeBe Prepared in Pixie Dust
I just love the JuJu BeBe Prepared in Pixie Dust diaper bag, and if you’re not fond of this certain color don’t worry there are plenty other colors and patterns to choose from. This bag includes a full zip down mommy pocket, zipper closer, memory foam changing pad,, picture pocket, 2 exterior insulated bottle pockets, structured bottom with luggage feet,color coded tabs, tote handles that can be hidden when you are not using them, Teflon to keep stains away, and so much more.
