If you have a baby or toddler, chances are you carry lots of gear everywhere you go. Buy a diaper bag that you love and stock it full of all of the basics so that you’ll always have everything you need. Read on to learn more.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Diaper bag
  • Bottles
  • Diapers
  • Bib
  • Toys
  1. Step 1

    Set a budget. Diaper bags come in a wide range of prices, from about $25 on up to several hundred or even much more for a designer version. You can find diaper bags in department stores, baby specialty shops and maternity boutiques and online.

  2. Step 2

    Explore the modern diaper bag choices available now. You can find options today that come in very sophisticated colors and patterns and shapes. (This is a big improvement over the previous pastel and baby prints that most bags used to come in).

  3. Step 3

    Feel different textures to find a finish that will go with your lifestyle and taste. Quilted cloth bags are very popular, as are vinyl and plastic material.

  4. Step 4

    Decide what you want to carry in the bag. Bottles, diapers, wipes and small toys are common items. Look for one with pockets, inserts and zippered compartments that will make it easy to organize the contents and access them easily.

  5. Step 5

    Realize that outside pockets can come in very handy to hold diapers, your cell phone and keys.

  6. Step 6

    Think about selecting a bag that will go with your wardrobe, since you will be carrying this everyday.

  7. Step 7

    Try packing a few essentials in a bag you like to see how easy it is to use.

Tips & Warnings
  • Consider buying more than one diaper bag. Go for a dressier one for formal occasions and a more basic version for every day.
  • Select a big purse or tote bag to use for your diaper bag. Look for one that offers enough compartments to help you stay organized.
  • Avoid flimsy diaper bags since the strap could break or a seam could split if the bag isn’t well made.
  • Check the weight of a bag. A heavy leather bag that stocked with all your gear may be too difficult to carry on a regular basis.
