Remember back when a diaper bag meant you had to carry around something with Winnie the Pooh appliqued onto the side of it? Well those days are long over and now you can tote your diapers, pacifiers and bottles around in stylish bags that rival designer purses. Here are a few of my favorites:
Prefer a tote style bag that is a bit on the funky side? Baby Star's Rock the Tote bag is the way to go. Very roomy, you can fit everything you need in here (including a lap top- now that is speaking my language). They include a changing pad and wipe container that coordinates with your bag. The bags come in a variety of fabrics and colors including metallic for those who like a little bling. The other print varieties are perfect for boys, girls or gender neutral and come in bright colors and patterns. The bag is constructed out of a BPA laminate so you are doing your part for the environment while being stylish and it easily wipes clean.
Prefer a diaper bag that looks and fills a bit more like your regular purse? Check out Storksak's Gigi Glimmer. Again, this bag is very roomy and comes decked out with all sorts of features to make a mommy's life easier. There are plenty of compartments (which can be easily wiped clean), a changing pad, cell phone holder and will once again hold a laptop. But my favorite feature is a removable insulated bottle holder that keeps bottles warm or cold for up to four hours. The bag has leather trim and adjustable handles making it very easy to carry around. Apparently this bag is a favorite of celebrity moms so you can feel like Angelina while you carry around your newest addition. And this bag would easily transition from work to playground without missing a beat. The absolute best part? During the month of October, a portion of the profits from the sale of this specific bag on www.Storksak.com will be donated to the Breast Cancer Foundation.
Just generally tired of carrying around anything big and bulky and resembling a diaper bag at all? How about something a bit more compact where everything you need is right at your fingertips? Bella Tunno has created the perfect thing. Reminiscent of a travel case, the Parent Pod is the perfect grab and go bag for any mommy. They contain a changing pad and wipe container and have a bunch of pockets to store all your necessities. It all folds up into a stylish compact carry all. And the prints keep you looking ultra stylish and hip. Really what more could you ask for than that?
