Having a baby? Congratulations!

I’m sure there is already a ton of stuff on your to-buy list. One item every chic parent should have is of course a stylish diaper bag!

Consider your personal style and lifestyle when selecting a diaper bagConsider your personal style and lifestyle when selecting a diaper bag

Here are a few things to consider when choosing the perfect diaper bag:

1. Cleanliness

It should be easy to clean — for all those wonderful little “accidents.”

2. Space

You need space, lots of it. Store everything your bundle of joy might need when leaving your home — extra pair of jumpers, diapers, bottles, toys, etc.

3. Pockets and Extras

Look for pockets and extras — lots of them, too! Organize your baby bag, and make sure you can find what you need in a jiffy with handy interior and exterior pockets.

If I were popping out a baby soon, this Rebecca Minkoff would be my first choice. I love its structured, masculine design.
