📅 When should you choose your diaper bag?

It is advisable to equip yourself before the birth , ideally during the 6th or 7th month of pregnancy , at the same time as you prepare your maternity suitcase. This will allow you to test it, fill it, and familiarize yourself with its organization.

🎯 What criteria should you use to choose the right diaper bag?

1. Capacity

A good diaper bag should be able to hold:

🧡 Tip : Choose a capacity of 20 to 30L for optimal organization without overloading.

2. Style: backpack or classic bag?

  • 🎒 The changing backpack (👉 see all our models ) is ideal for balanced carrying , especially for long walks or active parents.
  • 👜 The diaper bag or shoulder bag is more compact, perfect for short outings or a chic touch.
