Diaper Bags
All the info you need

Choosing a Diaper Bag
A must-have for all parents but how do you choose one? We recommend that you pick your diaper bag(s) based on several factors: your lifestyle, expected diaper bag usage, and the age of your child. Thinking about your lifestyle should help you choose the right bag – are you always on the go? Do you always carry tons of stuff? If so, you may need a diaper bag that also integrates your handbag. Your expected usage may determine which type of bag you need; you may need a large bag for daycare and a small one for quick errands. Finally, the age of the child will affect which type of bag fits your family best. If you have an infant, you will need a lot more supplies than if you have a toddler, who might just need a change of cloths, juice box, and wipes.


Diaper Bag Style Choices
The saying “one-size fits all” does not apply to diaper bags. Most parents own several diaper bags by the time their baby is 1 year old. For the mom who wants everything to coordinate, Graco offers a bag or two to match most of our fashion collections. These “Collection Bags” come in different sizes and shapes and all offer the diaper bag necessities. For the mom/parent who wants a “diaper bag in disguise” – Graco offers “Trendy Bags”. These neutral bags are perfect for the super stylish Mom and the bags still have all the necessities. For Dad, who may not be thrilled carrying the same tote style bag as Mom – Graco offers a line of Daddy diaper bags. These are designed to look and function like tool bags. They're perfect for Dad and offer the diaper bag necessities.


Diaper Bag Necessities
Graco recommends looking for the following when shopping for your perfect diaper bags:
  • Comfortable – an adjustable, comfortable strap
  • Sturdy – durable since you will be using it a lot!
  • Cleanable – wipeable compartments and a removable vinyl garment bag
  • Organization – pockets, pouches and separate place for parents’ stuff so you are not always searching through the bag
  • Bottle holders – keep baby’s bottle at the desired temperature
  • Baby garment bag – keeps clean clothes clean and dirty clothes contained
  • Wipes case – for quick clean ups
  • Changing pad – for changes on-the-go
