Who wants a Winnie-the-Pooh Diaper Bag?
Find the perfect diaper bag can be a daunting task because there is no such thing. Most new moms buy 3-4 diaper bags because as your baby grows, your needs in a diaper bag grow. Your need for style may change as well.
There’s nothing wrong with a cutesy Winnie-the-Pooh diaper bag, or a Snoopy diaper bag, or one with butterflies. I bought one of each. One of the first things a mommy-to-be buys is a diaper bag. It’s a crucial buy. You’ll stay in the house for the first 3 months but then you’ll want to get out to show off your baby to friends, get some fresh air, visit Grandma.
I can’t stand being at home all day. I have to go out. Now that my little one is running around, he feels the need to go out too. It’s healthy to go out, see friends, share baby stories. What often keeps me from going out is the thought of all the baby stuff I have to carry. I don’t like feeling like I’m going to the airport when I’m really only going out to lunch with friends. It’s nice having a few diaper bags that take care of every situation’s needs. If I’m just going to the grocery store, I can take my diaper tote that holds the basics: a diaper, wipes, a change of clothes, my wallet. If I go out to lunch with friends, I bring my Trend Lab messenger bag that holds all the above plus a few toys or books to keep my little one busy. Going to Grandma’s on a plane a few times a year tells me I’m going to need my jumbo jet of diaper bags from Cherish and Joy. That is an awesome bag! It feels good, looks good, and packs a load! I pack my little guy’s food, a few diapers and wipes, and tons of toys to keep him busy so the Captain can fly nonstop.
Going back to the question “Who wants a Winnie-the-Pooh diaper bag”? I do, or at least I did when my baby was still a baby. Even then, there was the day I fit back into my size 8 jeans and I just wanted to feel like a chic girl again. I wanted to carry my gorgeous Oriental bag but it was too small to carry baby’s stuff and too bulky to carry that and my diaper tote.
What could I do but buy an Oriental diaper bag from I Frogee? Then there were days Daddy wanted bonding time with Junior. My cutesy Snoopy bag was a little better than my butterfly, but still was not manly enough. He’s a guy’s guy. What could I do but buy him a Macho Man bag from diaperbagspecials.com? I got him a Fleurville DJ Pak with plenty of pockets and an over the chest strap so he could use both hands to grab Junior in chase or put him over his shoulders.
I am so glad diaper bags come in all shapes, styles and prices. A lot of designers are experienced parents who know what you want in a diaper bag to help you express your unique style and be organized. They know you will want zippered pockets for dirty diapers, vinyl-lined side pockets for bottles that spill, pockets to hold easy-to-lose pacifiers or even his/her favorite newborn dolls. These little details are what matters if you want a hassle-free, mess-free day out with the family.
