When it comes to baby bags, or diaper bags, there are a zillion choices. Baby bags are so trendy and hot right now, how do you choose the right one (or two?) for you?
Function
A baby bag has to be able to do its job. Hold diapers and wipes, maybe bottles and toys, and hopefully a change of clothes for baby. It's nice when there are extra pockets for the parent's wallet and cell phone, too. Extra bonuses are bags that might hang from the stroller, and come with their own changing pad. It has to be able to be carried by Mom AND Dad. The Go GaGa slide bag holds lots of things, and can be used by Mom and then passed on to Dad without him feeling silly. The Diaper Clutch holds diapers and wipes in an easy to grab and go pouch, and can be quickly transferred from one larger bag to another.
Style
If you are looking for a stylish baby bag, your choices are nearly endless. Bag designers have answered the call of moms who were tired of ugly diaper bags. At Luvmybag.com you can find Fleurville, Timi & Leslie, Ju-Ju Be, JJ Cole and many others. You could carry a lovely clutch if you take baby to a fancy event, Poshtots has many to choose from. You can also find top brands like Bumble Bags, Vera Bradley, and OiOi at Zappos.
Comfort
Trendy baby bags are great, but if you are on the go with baby all the time, you want to carry something that won't hurt your back. You might go for a baby backpack style baby bag like this one by Ju-Ju Be or a smaller more lightweight bag like the Lesportsac Deluxe Everyday Bag, which has large sections, and zippered pockets on both outer sides, one is a perfect size for your phone.
Dads
Maybe Dad wants his own bag. He can find a few different styles on Dadgear.com, or he can choose to be super trendy and get Brad Pitt's favorite baby bag by Storksack. Some dads choose to just find a regular backpack and use that rather than buying a designed baby bag.
Baby bags can be used for practicality, or to make a statement. Once you find your perfect bag, you'll be much happier on the go with your baby.
