After having children in all age brackets it’s given me the opportunity to try out different sizes and styles of diaper bags. And what I found is that they all have been pretty much the same. Big and bulky or so small that they don’t provide enough room. And the styles are not so great either. Not to mention the fact that all of them have been unorganized because they give you just one large section where you’re expected to put everything.
Food with clothing and diapers — what if the bag gets tossed around and food spills or leaks? Yea, that’s happened. Then you’re stuck with dirty clothes. But wait, you packed those clean clothes because you wanted to be prepared in case baby soiled the outfit they were wearing. So that defeats the purpose, right? Ok, toss those in the dirty laundry pile. Unworn clothes. That’s nothing new here but I’d like to try to avoid that.
As a mom of two school-aged children, Rachael Smith, founder of Mrs. Smith’s Bags, knows the challenges that parents of young children face. With a sincere desire to help parents everywhere, she became inspired with ideas to build the most organized and spacious line of diaper bags ever made.
Rachael herself experienced what many parents have. While trying to meet the demands of her children and waiting to board a plane she was digging through her diaper bag to find a bottle for her daughter and a toy for her son and she accidentally spilled her daughters bottle all over the contents of the diaper bag. After her frustration wore off she decided to sketch the ideal diaper bag, just the way every parent would want. And that is how Mrs. Smith’s diaper bags was developed.
There are 5 different styles of Mrs. Smith’s diaper bags to choose from; the Elite, Classic Pack, Exotic, Tempo and the Basic style. I chose the Bronze bag which has an alligator skin appearance. Very exotic! Very unique. Yep, that’s me. hehee
I love the fact that these bags look more like a fashionable hand bag rather than a frilly diaper bag. This is great for ladies who wanna keep that fashionista look even after child birth. And guess what dads… Mrs. Smith has designed a bag for you as well. Look at this rugged bag…
Any daddy should be proud to carry this handsome bag! It has all of the features that the other bags do but without the girly look. No more cramming your cargo pants full of baby’s supplies or into a backpack just to avoid mommy’s diaper bag. You guys know that not everything will fit into those pants pockets. hahaa. Hey, you can still take those kiddos for a hike in the park because SURPRISE! these babies convert into a backpack. Yes, they are very versatile.
Speaking of features, all Mrs. Smith bags come with a patented pull out drawer on the bottom. It’s in a zipped compartment that is easily accessible. And this is what makesMrs. Smith’s diaper bags so unique and keeps the contents of your bag organized. It is separated into 3 sections. 1 large section for toys, food, or more diapers and 2 smaller sections for pacifiers, creams, lotions, and more.
No more spills to worry about now. I can keep my baby’s dry items separate from the liquids and jarred foods or snacks. And I don’t have to get frustrated anymore because I won’t be washing clothes that were never worn. YAY!
Since the bags are two levels high they give you so much more room. Everything has it’s own place and is kept nice and tidy. No frantic searches through a pile of mess looking for that pacifier when your baby is in hysterics. All I have to do now is unzip the bottom, pull out the drawer and there in the small compartment is the pacifier. No guess work! There’s even a washable changing pad located inside the diaper bags flap. It rolls up neatly and has it’s own pouch so it doesn’t get mixed in with clothing or diapers.
As you can see in the images, there are plenty of pouches and pockets for other things too. Two mesh pockets for extra bottles or bottled water, and two padded pouches for cell phones, ipods or even sunglasses. Mrs. Smith thought of everything, didn’t she? She’s one amazing woman!
Now that I have this bag I can go out with just one bag. These are so nice and stylish I don’t have to carry my handbag. I just toss my keys and cell phone in my Mrs. Smith bagand go. With baby of course. hehee
