5 Reasons Moms Are Ditching Their Diaper Bag for This Weekender

Two kids in, I finally found a bag I do not hate carrying.

I went through three diaper bags in two years. Black, grey, "sporty". All of them screamed diaper bag. Then a friend showed up to brunch with this quilted little van, pulled a bottle and a pack of wipes out of it, and I ordered one on the spot. Here is why it stayed.

1. It does not look like a diaper bag.

Nobody can tell. It looks like a cute weekender you would carry with or without kids, so you do not feel like you are dragging the nursery around every time you leave the house.

I have taken it to brunch, to the office, to a wedding weekend. Same bag, and the only comments I get are "where did you get that?"

2. It swallows everything. And your stuff too.

18 inches long with a wide zip opening. Diapers, a bottle, wipes, a muslin blanket, snacks, a change of clothes, a toy. And there is still room for my wallet, my sunglasses and my phone, which no diaper bag ever managed.

The wide mouth means you can actually see what is inside instead of digging with one hand while holding a squirming toddler with the other.

3. Light enough for one shoulder, all day.

The handles sit right on your shoulder, so one hand holds a little hand and the other holds the coffee. It stays tucked against your side and does not swing into the stroller.

And because the bag is so light, even fully loaded it does not dig into your shoulder by the end of the day.

4. It wipes clean in seconds.

Milk, yogurt, applesauce, the mystery stickiness from the car seat. The quilted polyester wipes clean with a baby wipe and looks new again. No stains, no smell.

I have washed mine by hand once after a full juice box incident. It dried overnight and the colors did not fade.

5. It becomes your weekend bag again.

The day you stop needing diapers, this is still a great bag. Hotel weekends, the gym, a road trip. It was never "the diaper bag", so there is nothing to retire.

Sixteen designs, and with the Buy 1 Get 1 Free offer most moms keep one for the kids and one for themselves. Or gift the second to the friend who is about to need it.
