Huge diaper bag, filled to the brim with your baby’s essentials. You have everything in there but precisely where each item is located, you have no clue. It’s a mini jungle in that bag. What’s your biggest nightmare?….Baby cries and you just can’t find what you are looking for in that huge mess in the bag…it’s in there, yes but WHERE???
I know you’ve been there and Rachel Smith was there on more than just one occasion in her life, till she decided enough was enough, Mommies needed a spacious diaper bag that was organized and easy to find things in, thus was born Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bags!
I’ve always carried a ‘mini baby home’ in my bags when Bunny girl was a baby and now with Bunny Boo scheduled for an arrival in May, I know I’ll be doing the same all over again.
I love that the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag I was sent has all the compartments, pockets and sections I’d need to stash away all I’d need for Bunny Boo….in an ORGANIZED, EASY TO FIND manner! (Just had to put that in caps as it’s really that important!!)
Bunny Boo’s bottle, a teddy bear, wipe cloths and a feeding bottle, can fit into these mini compartments. I can throw in my car keys and wallet into the zipped in pocket and perhaps have an extra change of clothes, an extra blanket and diapers placed at the bottom.
The large zipped in pocket at the back can hold the pack of wipes and maybe some paper towels.
Here’s one of my favorite features of the bag, a mini changing mat to place over those icky changing tables in the stores.
There’s even a compartment to hold maybe a magazine or two for when you take baby in for shots to the Doctor and have to wait for more than an hour to be called in. You can also use this to store clothes or a light cover sheet.
The bag even has a little pocket to hold your mobile phone and a bottle of water to hydrate yourself while outdoors.
If you have an older offspring, there’s enough space in this bag to store a few snacks, a juice box, an activity book or two and a toy(s) as well.
The ‘carry over the shoulder’ strap can be used to transform the bag into a backpack as well.
I’m so in love with this bag and am slowly accustoming myself to get used to the bright pink military design. The practicality of this bag has me sold! Now honestly….can you find a diaper bag with more features than this one??
I used to get so frustrated because I would dig and dig in my diaper bag for something (i.e. the much-needed pacifier for my screaming child) and would eventually find it after a struggle or I would just give up! No More! I was sick and tired of my deep, almost pocket-less bag. In my search for something better, I found Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag. My solution to clutter.
This is a fantastically smart bag made for real moms!There are tons of compartments, including the fabulous drawer at the bottom with 3 compartments. The top portion is half the height of the bag, allowing for easy removal of items I use a lot. No more digging around in the bottom of my bag because I can see everything when I open the top. The drawer in to bottom is solid, so top side items don’t crush whatever I choose to keep down below. Yet, the diaper bag is lightweight, even with the protective drawer casing.There are a total of 5 bottle/cup holders with 3 insulated bottle holders in the top, a mesh pouch on the outside, and another pouch with elastic on the outside. I would like there an outside pouch to be insulated also, since my baby takes tall bottles. There is a padded sunglasses holder, a cell phone holder, and a “documents pouch” which I use for my wallet.Another really cool thing about Mrs. Smith’s diaper bag is thatit converts to a backpack! Really great for outings to the park, hikes, airport, etc. I also like that aspect because I have a bad back and it is healthier for people to carry weight centered than off to one side. I learned in nursing school that kids carrying backpacks on one shoulder cause scoliosis cases to rise.Mrs. Smiths diaper bag also has a pouch in the top flap to hold thewashable changing pad. Stored away from other things when it is dirty, but you can really clean it well.
The Mrs. Smith’s diaper bag is a great quality bag. I really like the soft canvas material on mine and the cute pattern. There are lots of cute styles to choose from. It is sewn together to be very sturdy. One issue I did have was with the zippers sticking. They may loosen up after more use. I have to say the pictures online do not do it justice. It is far more attractive and not as bulky as the pictures make it out to be.Buy It!

With a 4, 2 year old and 10 month baby a great diaper bag is essential. For 4 years now I haven’t found that perfect diaper bag until now! Mrs. Smiths Diaper bag has met all my diaper bag needs and then some! What I really like about this diaper bag is how it converts very quickly into a backpack diaper bag! So many times I need to be hands free with my little ones and wearing it as a backpack has enabled me to do so! Although it can be a little cumbersome taking it off your back because the strap slides a bit but overall I think this bag works really well. I highly recommend it for every mom with little ones!
I must get my dislike of winter from my mother. Born and raised in California, she is one of those people that craves the warmth and sunshine and as soon as the temperatures start to drop, she’s ready to pack up and head south. And, in fact, that is what she does.
Ready to leave the snow and ice behind, Big Sister E and I packed up and headed down to visit for a week. However, the thought of traveling with a 3-year-old was a little daunting, so I knew it was important to prepare and plan to make the trip as smooth and simple as possible for us both.
When deciding what bags to carry on, I knew they would have to meet a few requirements: plenty of room, well-organized and easy to carry. Fortunately for me, all of that is found in one uniquely-designed bag created by an innovative mom, Mrs. Rachael Smith.
Looks like any other diaper bag on the outside, doesn’t it? Appearances can be deceiving!
When Rachael couldn’t find a diaper bag on the market that met her organizational needs, she did the next best thing and invented her own. Today, all of Mrs. Smith’s Bags feature the genius ideas that she came up with, including a two tiered design, patented pull-out drawer, washable changing pad and strap that converts from being a shoulder bag into a backpack.
Every single one of the features that make a Diaper Bag from Mrs. Smith’s Bags distinct combine to make this the ultimate organizational bag for traveling. As I began packing for our plane ride, I immediately fell in love with the way every item had a designated place and would be easy to access when it was needed while we were up in the sky.
Extra clothes, wipes, drinks (in the insulated bottle/cup holders) crafts, crayons and small toys dominated the large top portion of our bag, while the bottom pull-out drawer was perfect for having a multitude of snacks and munchies divided into tidy compartments. Not only was it easy to see what I had already put in, in one glance I could see what was missing. Even better, with the amazing size of this Diaper Bag, there seemed to be an endless supply of room to add in more things.
After checking our bags at the airport, it was up to me to keep track of the carry-on suitcase, our Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag, our jackets and hold Big Sister E’s hand all at the same time. I really appreciated having the option to easily move the carrying strap on the Diaper Bag on from the shoulder position to the backpack option if I chose to have even more hands free. Versatility at its finest!
So, how did our Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag hold up on the airplane? It was perfect. Even filled to the brim it fit right under the seat in front of us and I was able to reach right into the top or, for an easy way to have snacks on hand, I left the drawer pulled out far enough that the food was accessible (shown below). I couldn’t have asked for a better way to keep both Big Sister and myself happy while flying.
The Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag is the definition of the saying, “A place for everything and everything in its place.” Whether you are going on a daily outing or a long trip and need to carry items for any number of children at any ages, every detail has been carefully thought-out to maximize space and organization and minimize the possibility of ever having to dig through a messy diaper bag again. With its variety of colors and patterns, this stylish bag and its benefits are unparalleled by all others.
Ready to move into a world where dumping out your bag in hopes of finding the particular toy or snack is a distant memory? Thanks to the generosity of Mrs. Smith’s Bags and Whoda Thought (their parent company), one person will have the chance to carry one of these amazing bags, because…
One lucky person will win a Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag of their own!
Over at Grandparents.com I moderate the New Grandparents group which is growing all the time. There actually are a lot of grandparents-to-be who come and join to share their joy and concerns and sometimes they ask about what are good gifts for them to give to their daughters and daughters-in-law. Although all of us first time grandmothers can’t wait to buy “cute” stuff we really have a responsibility to help “Keep it Real.” This means helping avoiding waste and poor purchases that have to be duplicated with something better latter. Recently I wrote about my frustration with car seats. But today I have a great product to recommend without reservation.
Another complicated purchase is a diaper bag – yes, grandparents – a diaper bag. I remember always digging in the bottom for something that I absolutely needed and periodically not having it and every so often taking everything out of the bag and starting over. I shopped with my daughter for her diaper bag and much like the car seat not much has changed in the last 30 years – except that now they have some ridiculously expensive “boutique” bags.
We’ll guess what – I have just recently learned about Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bags and it is indeed a big improvement. This bag has some unique features including a drawer at the bottom of the bag – that’s right a drawer – and it is easily changed from being used as a messenger bag into a backpack. The bag is roomy, yet lightweight. But what I liked most is its organization and ability to find things that are most often lost in the bottom somewhere. There is, of course, the convenient changing pad, but there are also three insulated pockets for bottles, sippy cups or baby food. On the outside there are two pockets good for bottles, pacifiers, toys, etc and a big pocket to slide thin things into.
But the really big deal about this bag has got to be the drawer. At the bottom of the bag is a pull out drawer – that comes all the way out – and is a generous 3 1/2 inches deep. It has three compartments so it can easily be used for three different things.
The other reviewing bloggers and people leaving comments on Mrs. Smith’s website and Amazon.com all talk about the drawer. Mrs. Smith’s website has the story of how the drawer idea emerged. It is the story of Rachel Smith being in an airport with a delayed plane and a toddler and baby. In searching for her son’s toy train she spilled her baby’s bottle and wound up with a wet and messy diaper bag. The insulated pockets and drawer idea came to her later when she was settled in on the plane.
Everyone has their own idea of what the drawer is best used for. Although it looks like the perfect place for baby food and pacifiers to me, one commenter whose baby was in day care said it was the perfect place to put her baby’s clothes. I can see using one compartment for socks and others for tops and bottoms. You could just replenish each day what was used. I didn’t have to deal with bringing a baby to day care but many parents do today. Parents who bring their children to day care will love this bag because they can easily see what they have packed and will never forget something important. Diaper bags get used for longer than you think and I suspect that how the drawers are used will be different for a toddler than for a baby.
If you are a walking or hiking family – or one who takes little ones on airplanes – I think you’ll love the conversion to backpack feature of this bag. And it is super easy to do. Men love that one of the color design options is black. Actually, black is one of the best sellers and the color I chose for my sample.
For full disclosure, Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bags did provide me with a sample bag for review which I am able to keep. Thank you Mrs. Smith very much. I have not received compensation for this review and I do not have a personal relationship with this company. Any product review I do on this blog is an honest evaluation of my personal opinion. I do not review products favorably for compensation.

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! After 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 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. But it has to be what is in the bottom of the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag that makes it so special and unique. 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. Another 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
Overall, 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.
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?
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.
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!

One day while struggling to juggle the demands of her infant daughter and toddler son at the airport, this all came to a head. As they boarded their plane, her son wanted his toy train and her daughter began crying for her bottle. While digging through her traditional diaper bag, Rachael accidentally spilled her daughter’s bottle all over the bag’s contents. Then, in desperation to find his toy train, she dumped out the bag and emptied everything out onto a chair.
Finally, locating the toy train, she shoved everything back into the bag. Frustrated and with two children in tow, she hurried to board the plane. Once seated, she looked at the disorganized and dripping wet diaper bag and thought to herself, “I can do better than this!” Suddenly the ultimate baby bag design came to her. Minutes later, she began sketching the ideal diaper bag. Now, two years later, she proudly introduces the Mrs. Smith’s Diaper Bag.
How to convert the messenger bag into a backpack? Simply unhook the messenger strap and remove the shoulder pad. Thread the strap through the loop behind documents pouch. Attach hooks to the D-clips at the bottom of the back of the bag and size accordingly.
How to organize the top? We recommend that you place clothing, bottles, sippy cups pacifiers, band-aids, diaper and diaper cream in the top portion. When zipping the bag be sure to line-up the zipper, place one hand on the zipper tab, and the other on the documents pouch for support.
Where is the changing pad? The full size washable changing pad is located in the bag’s flap. After use carefully fold and replace it in its pouch.
Review
Oh that bag needs to be organized with lots of stuffs! Read how you can organized it with them. Should every moms need to dig deep into the bag to look for keys or any small items. Angry or Frustrated when your kids cry? What is all things about?
Mrs.Smith’s Diaper Bag is the great bag to organize what your child needs and easy for moms to search each and every items that your child needs without being search disappear items and hassle free. It can also convert it to a backpack by using its own shoulder strap. This bag is unique as it has pull-out drawer, which can be taken completely out of the bag. You can use anything you want in the drawer. Great way to use for snacks and toys. Other items such as burp cloths, formula or baby food jars are easily identified in this bag.
I am thrilled to receive a Mrs.Smith Diaper bag for review in the ultra mod brown with flower pattern. This bag has become my most organized diaper bag to use it often whenever we go out. I feel so comfortable with it and pick up the items that kids need it urgently. Thanks to Rachel Smith for cleverly making this unique bag for frustrated mothers to carry it with kids to move from one place to another. I am very sure most of the busy moms throw their own diaper bags and grab this unique bag when they come to know more about it.
The top compartment is perfect for clothing, two bottles and one sippy cup in their own insulated holders, two pacifiers and jars of baby food. There is also a small little zipper pouch inside to use it for changing pad. You can close a larger pocket with Velcro in the top section. It’s very great idea to close it urgently with Velcro. In the bottom section you can see a little drawer when you unzipped. A great way to store anything you need it urgently like snacks, diaper, cream, medicines etc. For washing, it can be easily taken out and put back. You can also put passport or any important notes in the back of this bag. 2 small pouch can be seen outside the bag for your keys, cell phone, sunglasses, credit cards, cash, ID and water bottle or any small items.
Another great feature is that people can’t recognize that it’s just the diaper bag and so you can use it any other items, you want for travel. Smart way to travel with this bag not just the diaper bag!
I’ve always carried a ‘mini baby home’ in my bags when Bunny girl was a baby and now with Bunny Boo scheduled for an arrival in May, I know I’ll be doing the same all over again.
Bunny Boo’s bottle, a teddy bear, wipe cloths and a feeding bottle, can fit into these mini compartments. I can throw in my car keys and wallet into the zipped in pocket and perhaps have an extra change of clothes, an extra blanket and diapers placed at the bottom.
The large zipped in pocket at the back can hold the pack of wipes and maybe some paper towels.
Here’s one of my favorite features of the bag, a mini changing mat to place over those icky changing tables in the stores.
There’s even a compartment to hold maybe a magazine or two for when you take baby in for shots to the Doctor and have to wait for more than an hour to be called in. You can also use this to store clothes or a light cover sheet.
The bag even has a little pocket to hold your mobile phone and a bottle of water to hydrate yourself while outdoors.
The ‘carry over the shoulder’ strap can be used to transform the bag into a backpack as well.
