Diaper bags are not just for carrying around on your shoulder. Sometimes you need to bring it with you when you’re out with the stroller. Why not have a bag that attaches to the stroller handle? Mr. B makes diaper bags that attach to strollers.

The Mr. B Runner Diaper Bag is designed to clip onto your stroller. It comes with a changing mat, front security pocket for valuables, and silver interior lining. And when you want to use the bag away from the stroller, it can easily be taken off your stroller and worn on your body at warp speed thanks to the adjustable shoulder strap.

The Mr. B Double Decker is the only diaper bag designed to work with Phil & Teds Sport stroller for two. The bag can be clipped onto the top of the stroller’s lower seat and it will not swing around or hit the lower child. It also comes with a changing mat.

For the active parent who likes to take their baby to the zoo, to the museum, or on walks in the park, diaper backpacks are the way to go. The DadGear Collegiate Series Diaper Bag is certainly built for utility and practicality. At the top of the pack, there is an innovative “diaper hammock” that keeps diapers from disappearing in the bottom of the backpack and offers ease of access while changing your child. There is also a quick-access wipe compartment at the lower end of the outward facing part of the pack that allows you to refill your wipes container with most brands of wipes. There are two bottle pockets that can hold up to four bottles on each side or even a larger water bottle for dad. This is one of the few diaper bags designed for dad that is made to fit a man’s frame with an 18” panel.

If you are looking for a more feminine diaper backpack, OiOi makes a pink floral backpack that you won’t mistake for anyone else’s! This one is done in fun colors like soft pink, green, turquoise, orange, blue, a deeper pink, and accented in chocolate brown. This backpack has detailed interior compartments and nylon lining, with two front pockets with leather details that allow easy access to small items like your phone and keys. It also features an insulated bottle holder, a case for wipes, and an insulated side pocket.

So you’re headed to a baby shower? Or perhaps you just need a gift for a soon-to-be-mom or dad. Here are some great gift ideas for new or upcoming parents that are sure to delight.

Diaper bags make great gifts for any parent of a baby, especially when you get a stylish bag that looks more like a handbag than a baby bag. There are tons of different designs out there from diaper duffels to diaper totes. Particularly popular are diaper bag sets that include matching changing pads and/or matching cosmetic bags. Don’t forget dad! There are tons of men’s diaper bags out there.

 

For a unique gift, check out the Munkey Mat which is a tote and padded playmat in one. These come in beautiful patterns and colors and are perfect for the on-the-go parent.

 

Already bought some bottles? Why not also give a baby bottle tote. The Built NY tote holds two baby bottles and is insulated with a machine-washable material. It easily snaps to stollers, car seats, and diaper bags for easy transport.

 

Know a soon-to-be parent that’s also an avid hiker? Then a baby carrier backpack is a perfect gift. These packs allow parents to take their babies along with them to experience nature in a safe and protected way.

 

Understandably, new parents are overwhelmed with the arrival of an infant. Along with trying to survive on three hours of sleep, new parents also have to adjust to traveling with a baby. Babies require a lot of gear. Some parents tend to over pack the diaper bag, whereas other parents leave out the essentials.

Diaper bags come in a variety of styles, colors, sizes, etc. Even though the tendency is to pack everything, too many items may weighh you down. Short day trips do not require bringing every single toy, diaper, bottle, etc. Unless you anticipate being away from home for several hours – or days, there are ways to limit the amount of items included in the diaper bag, and still be prepared.

Take a second and dump everything out of the bag. You probably will not need half of the items inside. To begin, grab a handful of diapers. An ideal number of diapers would be four or five. On average, babies require changing every two hours. Still, it doesn’t hurt to grab extras.

Wet wipes or baby wipes are necessary for cleaning the baby. Instead of toting the huge baby wipes box, consider buying a small portable carrier for wipes. Some diapers bags come equipped with this accessory. Simply grab a handful of wipes and store them in the smaller carrying case.

Babies love to smell fresh. If you use baby powder after a diaper change, look for a small travel size powder bottle. Travel size baby products are also available for lotions, baby oils, shampoos, etc.

Do not forget the extra pair of clothes. Unfortunately, babies have accidents. This could entail spitting up, a runny stool, etc. Although parents may not want to think about the undesirable, it pays to be prepared. Along with extra clothing, include two or three extra bibs.

Infants and toddlers need to eat. So do not forget the formula. Parents may either prepare the bottles before leaving home, or carry a water bottle and dry formula in the diaper bag. If traveling with toddlers, healthy snacks such as granola bars and crackers are ideal.

Small medicine or first aid kits can also be included in diaper bags. This is great for storing medicines to handle sudden fevers, teething pain, gas, etc. Furthermore, parents can include their own additions such as cleaning swabs for cuts and bandaids.
