Packing baby gear is no reason to skimp on style. When it comes to accessories, there are just as many options as there are for great-looking diaper bags. Our favorite diaper bag accessories are not only big on style, but they add functional storage for those diaper bag essentials you always seem to need nearby. Here are five ways you can take it to the next level and accessorize your diaper bag.
1. Choose a Clip-On Paci Pod
Available in dozens of designer fabrics and luxe leathers, these handy little diaper bag accessories clip right onto your diaper bag rings or stroller. Look for a paci pouch that is easy-to-clean, antimicrobial, and detachable. These pouches are the perfect way to add a little pop to your mom-look, and it beats digging through your diaper bag for a pacifier.
Take a pass on traditional tethers that leave your pacifier exposed to germs and keep your extra paci safely tucked away inside a small zipper pouch. Just keep in mind that this level of accessible function doesn’t have to be boring. From smooth grain leather to durable faux leather and dozens of printed nylon options–there’s a little something for everyone.
2. Add an Insulated Bottle Bag
Babies are pretty finicky about the temperature of their milk. If you bring a bottle, you may not have quick access to a warmer on the road. Luckily, you can buy insulated bottle bags to add an extra warm pouch to your baby bag that’s just perfect for pre-warmed milk. Look for a bottle bag that is detachable and easy to clean because sour milk smells really bad.
If you’re curious about the safety of using an insulated bottle bag, keep in mind that working moms have been pumping and transporting their milk in similar bags for a long time now. As long as you pay attention to how long the bottle is in the pouch and take care not to leave it in a hot car, it should be perfectly safe.
3. Never Leave Home Without a Grab-and-Go Mini Diaper Change Kit
Sure, you have plenty of diaper-changing supplies in your diaper bag. But realistically, how convenient is it to lug the whole bag around for every single diaper change? In a pinch, even simple diaper bag organizer pouches can serve this purpose by adding a diaper, a small pack of wipes, and changing pad or blanket.
4. Tidy Up with the Best Diaper Bag Organizer Pouches
Make digging out your diaper bag essentials easy with a baby diaper bag organizer that helps you keep similar things together. You’ll need at least three. Use one to hold a small stash of diapers. Use another to hold an extra outfit. And, use a third to collect all your small things like travel size lotion and hand sanitizer.
5. Give Your Baby Bag a Little Flair with a Diaper Bag Keychain
We love the idea of adding a little sophisticated personalization with a leather luggage tag embossed with your name. This accessory isn’t about function, but it does add a little something special. When you already have a place for everything you need, a cute keychain is a perfect way to accessorize your diaper bag.Â
