Looking back, I can’t believe I purchased my first diaper bag in a department store – and solely because it happened to match my stroller. Online options are endless now, and truthfully if I had to pick just one as a new mom, I think I’d have a pretty hard time. I know that certain features are definitely needed – it has to be pick enough to hold all the stuff a new mommy hauls with her but it also has to be functional as well. Oh, and it shouldn’t leave imprints on my shoulder!
The Mrs.Smith’s Diaper Bag from WhodaThought is designed by a mom (of course!) and is the most functional diaper bag I’ve come across. Why? The genius idea to include a drawer…yes a drawer on the bottom makes all the difference in the world. Basically, the Mrs.Smith’s Diaper Bag is like having a regular style diaper bag on the top portion (which can hold a remarkable amount of items) and a second drawer area, accessible from the front by unzipping. The drawer area is every mom’s answer to avoiding the inevitable smushed cheerios, or squeezed out butt-cream at the bottom of a traditional diaper bag.
We received a Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag in the Brown Flowers design (like the one at the top) and I think it’s brilliant! I use the bottom drawer to keep my daughter’s Epi-Pen and Benadryl safe from being squished and it’s a good place to store snacks. You’d think that the drawer would limit space inside the top portion of the bag, but I still had plenty of room for sippy cups, diapers and wipes, my Blackberry, etc. Actually, having a bag that isn’t so deep helps because everything is within reach and easy to find. The straps convert to a backpack as well, making it even easier to carry.
