How Do I Choose The Perfect Baby Bag?

How Do I Choose The Perfect Baby Bag

With so many nappy bags out there to choose from we are constantly answering questions from mamas about how to choose the right baby bag. So here are some tips to make your decision a little easier.

Do I go tote or a backpack style?

The first question I would ask myself is how often will you be carrying the bag and the baby at the same time?

Many mamas tend to pop the bag from the car straight onto the pram… and then back into the car. If this is the case, a nappy backpack is perfect for you – as they're big enough to hold all the gear you need (and more), have comfy shoulder straps and clip onto your pram easily with the included pram straps.

Also, if you think you’re into babywearing for a trip out, then a baby backpack works well there too as it  means you can have the baby on your front and your bag on your back. No pram needed.

Does my baby bag really need to be leather?

Look, this really is a personal choice. 

However, faux leather has come such a long way over the last few years that it's become a really popular alternative to leather!

Able to be wiped down with ease, faux leather is perfect against sticky fingers, but many people also opt for neoprene, canvas or synthetic materials.

What other bits and pieces would make my nappy bag complete?

How about a change mat thats included as standard? A cushiony, pillowy change mat that makes changing baby's nappy on-the-go a breeze!

Pram straps are a must… they are a low investment, but are super handy. They even come free with some bags, like The Baby Bag by Tottie.

Why should I spend so much money – it’s just a nappy bag!

So many baby bags these days are designed to look as far from an ugly “nappy bag” as possible. In fact, these bags are so practical, they're used by women who's kids have grown up, as well as people who don't even have kids! who have bought our bags for work/play who don’t even have kids. Many nappy bags these days are super practical for newborn time, toddler days and for when all your littlies are not so little and you’re back to using a regular handbag… so, if you think about cost per use – you use your nappy bag every day when your babies are little and if you take good care of her you can continue to use your nappy bag far beyond your mumming days.

Am I actually going to use all those pockets?

Umm, yes! Unless you like just chucking things randomly in a large bag and having to dig around for a while to find what you’re looking for? Don’t think anyone really enjoys hearing their baby scream while they are taking their sweet time trying to find a dummy.

Nappy bags these days have been thoughtfully designed to ensure everything has a place. No more digging around while a tantrum ensues!

Do I want practical all black or do I go bold with colour?

In this case, you really need to think practically about your wardrobe and what you'd be likely to use the most. Many people opt for neutral tones when choosing a baby bag, as it means they're never limited by their wardrobe. However, pops of colour can also be fun! This is a really individual choice and needs to be made with your personality and personal style in mind.
