What Size Diaper Bag Do I Need?


A baby diaper bag needs to be able to accommodate all the items you will need for taking baby out. These items include diapers, wipes, blankets, clothes, pacifiers, formula, bottles, clippers, powder, ointment, bottles of water, baby medicines, burp cloths, etc. Some parents have a couple of different sized baby diaper bags for different occasions. A small bag is great for a quick trip to the grocery store. A large bag on the other hand, is better for an all day outing.


When looking at bags, here are several things you need to consider:




  • How large/small is the bag? – Can you fit all the necessary items you will need for all day? Is the bag small and more useful for a quick trip? I recommend buying at least two bags. Having at least two different baby diaper bags will save you from having to take one that isn’t the appropriate size on a trip.

  • Are there compartments for the smaller items? – Most diaper bags now have small pockets on the inside of the bag for clippers, formula packets, and other small items that can easily get lost in a larger bag. Most bags also have plastic travel cases for wipes so won’t have to take the whole package with you.

  • How many extra diapers/clothes can I fit? – Always pack more than you think you’ll need for a trip.

  • Is it affordable? – Diaper bags will get dirty and torn up from constant use. If you’re on a tight budget or don’t want to spend money all the time on new bags, make sure that the bag you pick will hold up and isn’t too expensive if you have to replace it.
Hopefully these tips will make shopping for a baby diaper bag easier. You can find one that is perfect for what you need and just as cute the designer diaper bag that costs twice as much. Just remember to use these tips when you’re searching for one and you’ll be sure to find the right bag for you!
