Like most moms, the diaper bag replaced my purse. When my daughter was very young, I was naive and oftentimes packed more than I needed. The bag I started using at the time<\/strong><\/a> wasn’t even a diaper bag, but I liked it…until it got ratty and smelly, which proved it wasn’t meant to be used as a diaper bag. After I got the diaper bag I’m currently using<\/strong><\/a>, I realized the importance of a well-made bag with pockets and ac<\/span>cessories that suit my needs. Everyone has their own way or organizing, so it’s definitely a personal choice. Here are my top picks:<\/p>\n

This is the bag I’m currently using as a diaper bag, and I love it. It’s a lightweight messenger-type bag, neutral in design and color. My husband doesn’t even mind carrying it. There are two bottle pockets inside – what that is insulated and one that is not. It comes with a matching changing pad, and there is a pocket inside the bag hold it (where I usually stuff two diapers in as well). The rest of the bag is pretty roomy, but streamlined. It’s not a huge bag, which is great because it doesn’t overshadow my petite frame.<\/p>\n
