The Nappy Diaries: 8 Best Baby Bags Money Can Buy

As the mother of an infant, your life can get pretty messy, so it’s always good to be armed to the teeth with tools that help you keep things clean and classy. 

Whether you’re travelling on vacation with your baby, or just taking a trip downtown to the shops, you’d do well to get yourself the best nappy bags that money can buy!

What To Look For In The Best Baby Bags

Every baby bag is different, but the quality made ones should have these five features:

Lightweight

Your nappy bag will be filled to the brim with everything from diapers and baby formula to extra changes of clothes. You don’t want the bag itself to add to that extra weight! Look for bags that don’t have unnecessary decorations or metal pieces.

Waterproof

Your baby bag will definitely have a lot of liquids sloshing around, and inevitably, some of those will spill out and wet your bag's interior. You want your nappy bag to be able to survive these spills and be easily washable afterwards. So look for bags that are advertised as having waterproof linings.

Durable

Wherever you and your baby go, your nappy bag will definitely follow. That means being tossed on the dirt, dragged around the floor by accident, and getting wet. You want to pick a nappy bag that will survive as a daily driver, so choose ones made with tough materials like leather and canvas. These may end up being a little more expensive, but they’ll also last longer without needing to be replaced.

Spacious

Regardless of your baby’s needs, you want to have a large, roomy bag so that you have enough leeway for any additional stuff to bring. To help organise your kit, there should be enough compartments to separate things like diapers and baby formula. Alternatively, you can use separate waterproof bags within the nappy bag.

Adjustable

An adjustable strap ensures that you and your partner will be able to use the bag interchangeably. It’s a better option than buying separate dad baby bag!
