Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag {Review & Giveaway}

Mrs. Smiths Logo
When I first went shopping for a diaper bag, before we even knew Princess P was a girl, I was all about the style of the bag. At that time I was childless and had no idea that I should be shopping for the function of the bag rather than the look. Almost two years later and I am regretting the decision of purchasing the bag that fit the look of my lifestyle before baby. With the help of a certain diaper bag, I now know what it feels like to have function and style!
Mrs. Smiths Diaper Bag PearlAfter many mornings of scrambling to get out the door, Mrs. Rachael Smith realized that she spent too much time worrying about the little details and not enough time focused on the essentials. It all came to a head one day when she tried to juggle the demands of her infant daughter and toddler son at the airport. While digging through her traditional diaper bag to find her sons beloved toy, Rachael accidentally spilled her daughters bottle all over the bags contents. Finally, in desperation to find his train, she emptied the entire bag into a chair. After locating the toy, she shoved everything back into the bag and hurried to board the plane. Once seated, Rachael looked at the disorganized and dripping wet bag and thought “I can do better than this!” Minutes later, she began sketching the ultimate diaper bag. Now, two years later, she proudly introduces the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag.
Mrs. Smith's Diaper BagMrs. Smith’s generously sent me the Pearl Diaper Bag to review. When I opened the bag up I could not believe my eyes. Is this what I had been missing all of these years? (Well, more like 1 year and 8 months.) The top part of the diaper bag is ideal for storing clothing, bottles and sippy cups, first-aid kits, diapers, rash cream and wipes. Also located in the top of the bag, in the bag’s flap, is a washable, full-sized changing pad.

Located in the bottom zippered compartment is a fully removable drawer for complete organization. The drawer has three-separate compartments that are perfect for formula, baby food jars, snacks, toys or anything else you might want.
Mrs. Smiths Diaper BagAnother great feature of the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag is that is it easily converts from a shoulder bag to a backpack in a few simple steps. This is perfect for hectic airports, shopping malls and park trips when you need hands-free use.

Things that fit perfect in the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag:

  • Two bottles and one sippy cup in their own insulated holders
  • Jars of baby food
  • Two pacifiers
  • Lots of snacks and toys
  • Four to five sets of clothing
  • Wipes in a their own wipes container
  • Six diapers
  • A washable, full-sized changing
    pad (is included!)
  • And dedicated places for your keys, cell phone, sunglasses, credit cards, cash, ID
    and water bottles

Mrs. Smiths Diaper BagOverall, I think that this bag can hold a lot of stuff in an organized way. I found that the top is perfect for storing Princess P’s change of clothes, diapers, wipes and first-aid kit. While the bottom of the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag has been deemed the “Snack & Clean-up” drawer. It usually contains snacks, juice boxes, wet towelettes, bibs and hand sanitizer. The outside pockets are great for holding P’s sippy cup and my cell phone and keys. The back part of the bag is great for storing books, small toys and in our case, the mail. I do have to admit that this diaper bag is a bit bigger than our old one and would be perfect for moms of infants and moms with more than one child.

Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag Review & Giveaway


I’m one of those moms that packs a diaper bag like I’m never coming home again. With 3 kids, I just want to be prepared for anything. This usually results in my diaper bag being utterly disorganized and overflowing with diapers, wipes, clothes, blankets, etc. You get the picture, right?


I have recently had the luxury of testing out a Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag. It is the ultimate diaper bag and I would go as far as to say that it puts an average diaper bag to shame! There are several designs available for purchase. I chose the Pink Polka Dot Bag for review. Could it be any cuter?


The Mrs. Smith’s bag has room for everything and it’s organized! Seriously, this bag is amazing! The secret is that the bag is sectioned off into two main areas. What I mean by that is that there is a top section for your diapers, wipes, clothes, bottles, binkies, etc. and a bottom section that is actually an insulated drawer.


The drawer is great for snacks or toys, just about anything you’d like to use it for. But wait, there’s more! My favorite feature, the thing that makes it so unique and special to me is the strap. You can use it as is with the standard shoulder strap, or with a couple of quick changes you can turn it into a backpack. This is a real lifesaver for me when I’m trying to manage all of my kids on an outing.

Other cool features of the bag are the washable, full size changing pad that tucks into the bags flap, the key hook, the sunglass holder, the cell phone pocket, need I go on? Everything is right there and easy to get to. I can’t say enough good things about it. Do you want one of your own now?

Luv My Two Girls Review

Mrs. Smith Diaper Bag Review


I have been looking for the perfect diaper bag. I’ve own quite a few, actually I owned many, from different styles, colors, and sizes. I love my Skip and Hop diaper bag, but after having two kids it is just not big enough. I needed a bag that is big enough to carry the things I need for a 3 month old and 2 years old.

That is why I was so happy when I won a Mrs. Smith Diaper Bag by Whoda Thought. I have seen the reviews from other blogs and I knew this is what I have been looking for. This bag is now my favorite diaper bag. I picked the pink polka dots color and it is beautiful. It actually looks better in person than from the pictures in their site.

I took this bag out for the first time to the mall. You could not believe how much stuff I was able to put in this bag

  • 2 Born Free Bottles
  • (2) 8oz ready to feed similac bottle
  • receiving blanket(I use it for burping)
  • burp cloth
  • bib
  • onesies
  • bodysuit
  • Baby Phat Wrap (which by the way not very thin)
  • wipes
  • 6 diapers (two size 5 and four size 2)
  • juice box
  • snacks
  • pacifiers
  • my wallet
  • SLR Canon (my huge camera!)

And after all those stuff I still had plenty of space! I did not even put anything in the outside pockets and had plenty more space in the bottom! I know any huge diaper bag can store all the things I mentioned. But that is not why I love this bag. This bag does not look huge at all. It doesn’t make you feel like you are carrying a suitcase. It is very well designed with plenty of storage.

  • Two side pockets and 2 side bottle holder
  • Three insulated bottle and sippy cup holders.
  • Bottom storage. It reminds me of a drawer. This is great for little things you can put such as pacifiers and toys.
  • Full Size washable changing pad (HUGE!! LOVE IT!)
  • Three additional pockets (2 inside and 1 in the back)

My favorite is the bottom storage. I no longer dig inside when my daughter ask for her toys or snacks. My diaper bag has never been this organize until now. You can also convert this bag to a backpack very easily. However, I prefer carrying it as a messenger bag. It comes in six different colors. My other favorite is the copper color!

I was not paid or sent an item. I personally won the item above from a giveaway blog.

Sugar Pop Ribbons Review

Mrs. Smiths Diaper Bag Review & Giveaway

Before I tell you about Mrs. Smith’s Bags , I have a story to tell you. A couple of years ago, I was traveling to Taiwan with DD (all by myself)– I know, I was totally crazy to be traveling with a year old on a 13 hour flight. I am one of those people who over prepares for everything, so I thought I would be ok with this flight. I packed 4 outfits, over a dozen diapers and I even packed toys for DD to play with on the flight. Yes, I packed all of these things in my backpack. After we checked it, I soon realized that there was a problem. Apparently, there was a computer malfunction, and so no planes could take off until they repaired the issue. The entire LAX was shut down for 7 hours. DD and I sat in LAX for 7 hours until we were allowed onto to the plane for our 13 hour trip to Taiwan. Well, as you probably already guessed it, I did not pack enough. Even though I stuffed everything I could in my backpack, it still was not enough. On top of that, when I wanted to pull something out, I had to dump everything out to find it. Yeah, it was not a good trip for me or the people who were on the same plane with me.

This is where Mrs. Smith’s diaper bag comes in. Seriously, this is what I needed 2 years ago! First of all, look at how cute this bag is. You know I have a weakness for anything cute and girly.

I LOVE, LOVE the backpack style. I need my hands free to handle DD.

Look at how much stuff you can put in the diaper bag.

Ok, I want to warn you that if you are one of those moms who carries 1 diaper, 1 bottle and a small package of baby wipes, this is not the bag for you. However, if you are a mom like me, then you will love this. I am prepared for anything and everything that life throws at me. I think Mrs Smith diaper bag is great because I love that I don’t get all stressed out because I ran out of milk, diapers, baby wipes or change of clothes. When DD was younger, I regularly carried 2 slippy cups of fresh milk for her, and when I was potty training DD, I always carried extra clothes with me (just in case). This is the diaper bag that will hold everything. How awesome is that!
So you might think is this bag only good for moms with infants? Not so, I think that it is a great size for moms with multiple kids (a toddler and an infant, or two infants). When you no longer need to carry so much stuff with you on outings with your kids, then you can use this as carry on bags when you travel. Yes, you can continue using this bag even when your kids are older!
To buy this cute and versatile diaper bag, please go to store locatoron Mrs. Smith’s Bag website.
