Even though the amount of items in a diaper bag continues to grow, the designs for them are becoming smaller. Diaper bags are a fashion statement, and instead of a bulky, pastel-colored bag, handbag styles are in. With an exterior mirroring that of a designer handbag, these diaper bags still contain all amenities inside, including space and pockets for diapers. Brands like Petunia Pickle Bottom offer several style choices: satchel-, tote-, and messenger-style diaper bags.
The latest trend, however, is diaper clutches, and Petunia Pickle Bottom has its Glazed Diaper Clutch, a coin purse-style bag in a red, white, and black floral pattern. An ordinary clutch, as you know, holds keys, some cash, and makeup, but diaper clutches, for obvious reasons, are larger. StyleBistro.com describes the Glazed Diaper Clutch as having a magnetic closure with a top snap, a changing pad, a strap option, interior pockets for diapers and a cell phone, and a wipes case. With a compact design, the Glazed Diaper Clutch is ideal for bringing a few items along when you take your baby out for a few hours.
Parents, however, may be gone longer and need to bring more baby products. In this case, a diaper clutch is too small, and a handbag-style diaper bag offers more features. With a black and white plaid pattern, this Oi Oi Check Carry All has same interior features as a diaper clutch plus exterior pockets and a bottle holder. Pyknyk takes features a step further, and the Pyknyk Paris Nightclub bag is designed with four large interior pockets for diapers, wipes, and lotions; two pockets for bottles; additional exterior pockets for personal items; and a pacifier ring. If you plan to be out longer – or even take a vacation – with your child, these larger but still fashionable diaper bags have all the features and space parents will need.
