Diaper Bags, Accessories, & More

A diaper bag used to be called just that - diaper bag but today's parents have so many choices, those two simple words don't describe what's available out there.

Visit any baby gear store or website, and you'll find traditional diaper bags, along with sling bags, weekenders, Daddy bags, diaper backpacks, and a slew of other types. Some include accessory bags and a makeup bag for Mom. Others feature handy changing mats, waterproof bags for soiled clothes, and a host of zippers, snaps, Velcro attachments, and expandable pockets.

This lens is a showcase of the latest styles in a variety of price ranges. I'm interested in hearing from you, too, so please explore the lists where you can offer feedback. (Don't miss the Design Your Own Bag plexo, too.) Whether you're anticipating the birth of your own baby, or shopping for the perfect shower gift for a friend, this lens was built with you in mind.

Ju.Ju.Be - A Company That Listens 

Last year I discovered a company that really excites me, after reviewing one of their gorgeous diaper bags. Ju.Ju.Be creates some of the best diaper bags I've seen, probably because they've incorporated suggestions from parents into their designs.

Did you catch that? Their bags are detail-rich, because they listen to what parents are telling them. What a concept, hmmm?
They describe themselves as "Boutique fashion with smart function."

When you find a company who is willing to ask their customer base questions, then actually follow through and make detailed changes, PAY ATTENTION.

You'll notice some beautiful Ju.Ju.Be products in the widget below. Their patterns are amazing, and wait'll you read about the extras. (*Hint: Instead of Velcro, they design their bags with "smart magnets".) Read their full pageful of Smart Features and prepare to be impressed.
Once you grow familiar with their unique design style, I bet you'll be able to spot a Ju.Ju.Be bag anywhere.

Quick! What's in Your Diaper Bag? 

Remember the popular baby shower game, where you have to remember a kazillion items on a tray? Someone carries the tray around the room, pausing just long enough to confuse you. Then it's time to write like mad, listing as many items as you can remember.

What's in your diaper bag this very minute? No peeking. Just list as many items as you can remember. Let's see how long we can grow this list. Ready? Begin!

Polka Dots Galore 

Polka dots go out of style every few years, then take a U-turn and appear once again splashed across bed sheets, clothing, umbrellas, and you guessed it--diaper bags. I happen to like polka dots, and the more colorful, the better.

These 3 bags feature: Magnetic clip keeps the top flap closed. Laminated outer layer makes clean up a snap! Contrast stitching adds detail and interest, and roomy interior includes storage pockets. Adjustable shoulder strap plus 2 outside pockets, 1 on each side. Comes with matching insulated bottle bag, plus it includes a coordinating zippered pouch. Large fold-out padded changing pad, too. Dimensions: 14"L x 6"W x 11"H

Wow, there are much better choices available now then just a few years ago when I was glad to even find a bag in plain black instead of gaudy baby print. I was always wondering why they make the bags to appeal to babies, when clearly the babies couldn't care less what their diaper bag looks like. It's the Mom that needs to lug these around! Great choices here, 5*s!
