Filed under: Moms, Diaper bags

What's in YOUR diaper bag these days? If you're like I was when my first son was a baby, your bag is always completely stocked, with enough stuff to prepare you for an immediate evacuation. And then you drag all that stuff with you when you go to the post office or the mall, and you wonder why your back always hurts.

Plus, you're probably carrying a Special Diaper Bag, because isn't that what moms carry?

How about ditching the 40 pound duckie bag and replacing it with something cool and grown-up and light?

Look for a water-resistant nylon bag, one that can be wiped clean; a dark color will show fewer stains than a light color. Steer clear of fabric bags, which will be dirty after the first time you leave the house. Choose a bag with interior pockets, for your cell phone and keys and any other things you don't want to scramble around in the bottom of the bag to find. And think about a bag with a convertible strap, something that you can wear across your body like a messenger bag OR tuck under your arm like a tote.
