A Designer Diaper Bag to Fit Your Style

One of the most exciting things a mom " to be" can shop for is a diaper bag. What girl doesn't love shopping for a new bag? This didn't used to be the case for diaper bags. Not that far back, we were forced to choose from a limited selection of boring styles in unflattering prints.

Not anymore. Now a diaper bag can be an investment AND an extension of a mom's personal style. Today, the options are limitless, you can find a bag that suits your sense of style and meets all of your organization needs.

Here are some things to consider:

1. Style:

Diaper Bag Designers have come to realize all moms are not the same, we have our individual tastes and style. Here are some variations of diaper bag styles:

Tote - A diaper tote is typically light weight and smaller than traditional diaper bags. Shoulder straps off flexibility.

Backpack - A Backpack is comfortable and roomy. It will not weigh you down during an all day outing but many backpacks still offer plenty of storage. Such as the Ju-Ju-Be Packabe, which offers 9 total pockets. The backpack style is a great choice for dads, since they don't have the look of a traditional bag and are less feminine.

Messenger - The Messenger style bag is a new twist on an old classic. This style of diaper bag is very convenient because it has just one wide strap which is worn over the shoulder, keeping both hands free. Caden Lane has a fun selection of messenger style bags that are modern yet simple.

Convertible - This style is just what it states; a diaper bag that converts to several styles. A great example of this is the Bumble Bags Busy Bee. Although it is designated as a backpack it can also be a stroller or a messenger bag. Removable Shoulder Strap, Pop Out Backpack Straps and Stroller Straps are included.

Another element that tens to be heavily influenced by personal preference is the pocket count. So, first you tackle style and then you tackle organization. Because let's face it, it doesn't do any good to be stylish if you can't find of the necessities.

Some mothers will use the bag as their purse; in that case you will need extra pockets for personal things such as cell phones, a wallet, and keys.

Many women prefer to have pockets on the exterior and the interior, giving extra storage and flexibility. Fleurville makes a designer bag with 4 interior pockets and 3 exterior pockets, as well as a clip for keys. The Fleurville Re-Run is environmentally friendly, light weight, has good organization and is popular with celebrity moms. It was recently chosen as top diaper bag from Pregnancy Magazine.

Some moms prefer to have less pockets in their bag. This style of mom is usually chosen by a mom looking for more of a sleek style, a bag that looks more like a hand bag than a diaper bag. Timi & Leslie have designed a bag in a brilliant bright red patent leather that is bold and functional. It has zero exterior pockets, lending itself to a sleek look. There are many styles and features to consider. Take your time and choose a diaper bag that fits your life and your taste. With so many new designer options, you are sure to find the perfect Diaper Bag for you!
