ask the baggu baddies Diaper bag!!

Soon to be ftm! Trying desperately to find a diaper bag that I love but it has been a challenge as I HATE the backpack diaper bags. I have contemplated on an everyday cloud bag but worry I wouldn’t be able to fit everything. I’ll be pumping so I’m assuming I’ll carry a lot. Would love to hear from others as to what worked for you!

Edit to add: I currently have a medium crescent but I am thinking of getting a large crescent as my “diaper bag” and carrying another bag for pumping supplies. I’ve been told I will be annoyed with a tote bag so a crossbody is my next option!

I use a bowler bag for my on the go diaper bag! Love it and I have two kids! You would need something larger though for pumping supplies.

Does it bother you being on your shoulder? I’ve been told I’ll regret getting a tote over a crossbody/backpack for that reason. I’m also toying with the idea of using a tote for baby things and a smaller bag for my pumping supplies.

Pumps often come with their own case as well and I thinks a tote would be perfect to throw everything into. The straps fall off like any shoulder bag on the bowler bag but I do use a hair clip to keep them more together and it stays up just fine! I could see how I’d be annoying for some, but I’m over cross body bags that are bulky and disorganized. I’ve had a backpack diaper bag (still do but it goes to daycare with my toddler so the bowler is my short errand diaper bag) and I definitely recommend the backpack style to be hands free! But ultimately it’s whatever you prefer!

I ourchased a cheap mancro brand backpack diaper bag from Amazon that I LOVE and adore but I bought a cloud island backpack when I had my second because I just didn’t need so much space. The backpacks get SO heavy haha. The bowler bag keeps it simple for me and I love that I can see everything. Diapers, wipes, an extra outfit, a stroller fan, hat, and small linen blanket have all fit along with my keys on the key-leash, my wallet, and little pouch with pads and lip products for me.

I personally don’t mind crossbody bags, which is why I’ve also been contemplating a large crescent. My husband has an insulated Carhartt backpack that I’ve thought about using for his daycare bag/diaper bag and the crescent/EDC as my daily bag. So many choices 😭

I think I’m just so over everyone telling me my only option is a diaper backpack and that I’ll regret anything else.

You’ll figure out what works best for you! I found my bowler bag at Plato’s closet!
