What’s in my Diaper Bag?

What’s in my diaper bag? A review of the Diaper Backpack by Wallaroo and a peek at what’s inside. Find out if we like it, and what’s good about it.

When looking at a diaper bag for my second daughter, I was on a search for something that was big enough to put both daughter’s stuff in. As well as be a backpack so I could hold my older daughter’s hand or chase her down if need be.

I may receive a commission if you purchase something mentioned in this post. See more details here.

My oldest daughter has a backpack of her own she takes to preschool and a different bag that she takes to my mom’s so her stuff isn’t always in this diaper bag. I will include her things in my post anyways since they can and do sometimes live there.

Review

Ok, guys, so, I found a great diaper bag from Skiphop but it was too expensive for me and my budget. So I found a great replacement on Amazon that had all the things, I wanted including price. It is a whole 20 dollars cheaper!

It’s super cute with its purple hue and its beautiful stitching really accentuates a “mom chic” vibe. It has multiple compartments so that everything is organized. At the same time, it also has a spacious main compartment that you can just throw random stuff in. I am the kind of mom that throws things in the main compartment and then organizes later.

The insulated freezer pockets are really good at keeping things cold. However, this is only if you have an ice pack in there with your drink. That pocket isn’t huge so it is hard to find an icepack that fits with the drink as well as itself. We found these work perfect, and they were on sale at Target! That is the only issue I have ever had with it.

For the price, you get a beautiful and functional diaper bag. You can’t beat it! You just have to give up the name brand. Which I am fine with doing as long as it’s good quality that holds up.

UPDATE: I have had it for over a year (my daughter is over a year) and it is still going strong. The stitching has stretched a little bit and the tag has worn, but that is it. No failures, holes, tears, or anything like that. This bag is so awesome.

What’s inside?

Aria happens to have some feeding issues which require an SNS. If you want to find out more about that check out this post!

Freezer Pockets

So, In the freezer sections, I have my Supplemental Nursing System™ (SNS™) bottle. I keep the tubing in a sandwich bag. A 5 oz. Medela™ bottle filled with breast milk or Alimentum™ to fill up the SNS™ or put in a bottle.

On the sides, I have my older daughters sippy cup filled with milk. On the other side I have my keys/wallet, and phone. Sometimes I put water there, but it is usually occupied by the latter.

Main Compartment

The main compartment is composed of a couple different compartments so I will talk about them individually. A side mesh compartment that has hand sanitizer, an extra Muchkin Latch™ bottle with formula and rice cereal already in it. As well as a bottle full of water. To mix in an emergency.

Changing Pad Pocket

In the pocket with the changing pad, I have paperwork. I have found that putting it there keep them straight and prevents crinkles. The paperwork usually consists of medical information for my youngest daughter, such as doctors medication regiments, and symptoms to document when caring for her.

Zipper compartment

There is a zipper compartment to the front of the main compartment, it has a key ring. I do not put my keys there because I would never get to them. I do however put binky wipes, Destitin™, and my youngest daughters medicine there. I usually put the meds in a sandwich baggy just in case one of them happen to be improperly closed. I also put syringes in the same bag for convenient administration.

In the main compartment, I have 2 extra outfits for my youngest daughter, an extra pair of underwear and shirt for my oldest daughter, a handkerchief bib, an extra blanket, burp cloths, and a package of wipes.

diaper compartments

In the two back compartments, I have 6 diapers, just in case, we end up getting stuck somewhere. This happened when my husband got in a car crash with both my daughters. Thankfully everyone was okay, but that is when I learned it is a necessity to have extras and emergency pairs of everything. You never know when the unexpected might occur, and you don’t want that to be the time you learn that lesson.

That’s it for my diaper bag. If you are curious about what’s in my pump bag, you can read that post here. What do you put in your diaper bag? How do you deal with having multiple kids stuff in one bag? What type of diaper bag do you prefer?
