I have always had a thing for bags. It is my favorite kind of accessory. I’m not talking designer bags either. My favorite purse is from Target and I’ve been known to be quite fond of reusable bags too (I come from a long line of bag ladies). When I was pregnant I spent a great deal of time researching diaper bags because I wanted the perfect one. It had to be cute, durable, my style, and also dad-friendly. I ended up finding the perfect diaper bag and couldn’t wait to pack it full of diaper bag essentials.

I would really love to link the exact bag I have for you because I am in love with it. When I registered for it and received the bag it came in three colors: navy, green, and black. The brand, Maman, does have a backpack version of my bag available. Personally, I have never carried a backpack so I would not order a style like this, however, I can attest to the quality of the brand. You can take a peek at the bag I have here and add it to a list for if and when it comes back in stock.
Some of the things to look for in a good diaper bag is that is is durable, functional, and mom/dad friendly. When I was searching for a diaper bag I knew I wanted it to be cute for me but practical for Dave. I picked a bag that had handles and a shoulder strap. I looked for something that had lots of pockets and different sections to organize items. If and when I need to invest in another diaper bag I would get one in a similar style, which has all the same features of my current bag.
Even if I don’t need the diaper bag when I leave the house with the baby, I always at least toss it in the car. My diaper bag has all of the essentials we need just in case. What are your favorite essentials for your diaper bag?
There have been so many things I feel cheated about this year. The ultimate cheat…

Love this post!! I am ready to go and reorganize my diaper bag, LOL. And OMG yes I am so glad I keep extra clothing in mine. There’s been plenty of times where my daughter has had a blow out while in church, and each time the ladies in charge have been grateful for my extra clothes I packed.
