Choosing a Nappy Bag

When selecting the perfect nappy bag for your needs, consider factors such as size, style, and functionality. Since you’ll be using the baby bag constantly, it’s also important that it matches your lifestyle and your bub’s activities, so you’ll have everything you need–from changing to feeding.

Types of Baby Nappy Bags

Nappy Bag Satchels & Totes

Satchels and tote nappy bags look similar to regular bags and handbags, but with functional features. They also come in a wide range of materials and colours, so it's easy to find a bag that marries practicality and style.

Nappy Bag Backpacks

Nappy backpacks include all the same great features as nappy bag satchels and totes, except it allows you to go hands-free because of the straps. This is also a great option for those who tend to bring a lot as they tend to be roomier and allows you to bring a bit more than satchels and totes.

Travel Nappy Bag

Whether you need additional capacity to pack for an overnight stay, a trip, or for running everyday errands with several kids, travel baby bags are the ideal for parents who need to bring a heavier load than usual. These nappy bags offer additional space and extra compartments, allowing you to conveniently bring everything you need for your bub.

What to Pack in a Nappy Bag

A general rule would be to bring what your baby needs on a daily basis and add more as necessary. This means bringing the basics and adding more items depending on where you’re going and for how long you’ll be out with your baby.

Generally, it’s best pack the following:

• Nappies
• Bottles
• Extra baby clothes
• Wipes
• Rash cream
• Soothers or dummies
• A comfort toy

Frequently Asked Questions

When should you replenish your nappy bag supplies?

While there's no set rule, it's essential to regularly check and restock your nappy bag to ensure you have everything you need for your outings. Consider changing your nappy bag contents based on the duration of your trip, the age of your baby, and their individual needs. A well-maintained nappy bag ensures you're always ready for any surprises that parenthood may throw your way. 

Can you use a regular bag instead of a nappy bag?

While regular bags may seem like a tempting option, they often lack the specialised compartments and features that are helpful for carrying baby essentials. Nappy bags are purpose-built with features like wipe-clean surfaces, insulated bottle pockets, and multiple compartments to keep everything organised and easily accessible. Choosing a nappy bag over a regular bag ensures you're always equipped to handle any parenting situation with ease. 

How often should you change baby nappy bags?

Knowing when to replace your nappy bag is crucial for maintaining convenience and functionality. Signs it might be time for an upgrade include noticeable wear and tear like fraying seams or broken zippers, a lack of functionality for your evolving needs, significant lifestyle changes such as travelling more frequently or having another child, hygiene concerns related to cleanliness and odour, and the desire for a style refresh to align with current fashion trends and personal taste. By staying attentive to these indicators, you can ensure you always have a reliable and stylish accessory ready for all your parenting adventures.
