Are baby bags necessary?

Unless your regular handbag happens to come with an insulated bottle holder, multiple pockets and room for nappies, a designer nappy bag is super handy. Babies and kids come with a lot of gear and a practical baby bag or backpack will keep you well organised and ready for anything. Trust us, you’ll be glad you have one.

What should I pack in a baby nappy bag?

Nappy supplies, wipes, a changing mat, spare clothes and hand sanitiser are must-haves for your nappy bag. You might also like to pack spare baby dummies (they often end up on supermarket floors), nappy cream if baby is prone to rashes, and of course, toys. The right baby bags have space for everything you need.

How long will I use my baby bag?

Many parents use their baby bag right through the baby stage and well into the late toddler stage after toilet training you no longer need to carry as many nappy supplies. But with so many colour options and how stylish modern baby bags are, there’s no limit to how many years you’ll use one.
