Here are some things we at Baby Bump Bundle look for to recommend to our expecting and new moms in the market for a new diaper / baby bag:

1. Spacious – room for all the necessities: wipes, diapers, cream, a diaper changing pad, a change of clothes (just in case), a bag to wrap up the soiled diaper, baby bottle, burp cloth, hand sanitizer for you and a toy or pacifier to distract and make baby happy.

2. Pockets – you need room to organize all the items listed above plus your own personal items like wallet, keys, phone, etc, so the more pockets the better so you don’t have to dig around while baby is impatiently waiting to be changed.

3. Easy to clean – with dirty diapers involved, you need something you can machine wash or at the very least, sponge wipe when needed. Nylon works great!

4. Easy to carry – you need the perfect durable straps for hanging on the stroller, throwing over your shoulder, putting in the car, or traveling with based on your lifestyle.

5. Closed – an open tote is not ideal when you have this many odds and ends. you need a durable option with zippers and buttons and snaps and ways to keep everything tucked away.

6. Sits up – you wouldnt want a flimsy tote that doesnt stand on its own – rather look for a bag with a flat bottom with more structure that will sit up and not topple over on a chair, the floor, etc.
