I have read quite a few reviews on this “diaper” bag and as you know I love to take care of my readers since many of you have small children or are expecting. I no longer use baby items since my boys are older but can tell the practical needs one provides, or doesn’t.
This bag has so much space and so many spots to keep things well organized. I always hate the struggle of a new baby and all the things required for their special needs. This bag has plenty of room to fit every stage of your children life & needs!

In all the reviews I’ve read everyone shows you how they organize it for babies or small kids. I’ve read some great reviews on this bag that you can check out on the Mrs. Smiths Blog. I noticed going through them no one really shows the bag without stuff in it so I wanted to show you myself.

This bag makes so much use out of every area. What I love about this bag is that I can still use it! This is the PERFECT park bag! I can hold my keys, water bottle, phone, etc on the outside so it’s always quickly available without digging around…although there is no digging in this bag anywhere! The insides of the littlepockets are super soft making them a safe spot to store sunglasses or a touch screen phone or iPod. The back of the bag also has a pocket perfect to hold a book or some (full size) magazines! Perfect for when I sit and wait while the boys run around.

The pull out drawer is perfect for storing lunch! The large square is the perfect size for bringing sandwiches with us. Three to be exact! I can then put snacks and fruit into the side spots or fit two juice boxes perfectly in each. Best part- they don’t get squished or crushed!

The top is great for extra drinks. Once again since there are three of us, I love that there are three drink slots. I then have room for bug spray, sun lotion, first aid essentials and more. The little zippered pocket is perfect for my license and some spending money.

It comes with a changing pad as well that folds up and stores nicely in the inside top.
I love this because it makes the perfect table cloth as well! It’s big enough to change a baby on and big enough for my boys to both put their lunch on so they’re not eating on a dirty surface.
Since the pad is washable I don’t have to worry about them getting it dirty either.

Favorite feature!
Spending the day at the park or zoo is so much easier when you have both your hands! Since this bag can be easily converted into a backpack I can bring everything I need with me and not worry about juggling things. I don’t have to worry about my arms getting heavy and can enjoy the day! With the outside pockets I can easily get to what I need.

The only thing I wish they had was more pattern/color choices. I feel that most of the choices are very girly and feminine. I’d love to see some boys prints and colors. I went with the black since it was the only gender neutraltone but if I had a girl I love their pink polka dot from their Tempo Collection.

Mrs. Smith’s diaper bags were created by Rachael  Smith, after realizing the need for such a bag after taking a trip with her 2 small children.  After an experience on a plane with a diaper bag that had no order whatsoever, including milk spilled everywhere, and not being able to find anything,  she came up with the idea and created Mrs Smith’s Diaper Bags.

When I received my Mrs. Smith diaper bag ( in copper), I was so excited! I love it! Talk about amazing. It has the following: an insulated bottle holder, cell phone holder, bonus pouch, washable full size changing pad, sippy cup holder, zipper pocket, key hook, mesh pouch, padded sunglass holder, and an insulated pull out drawer for snacks and toys! And in addition to all of that, it also converts into a back pack! Love it. The diaper bag I was  using only had a few basic pockets, and stuff was everywhere!   Bottles would fall over and leak and It was always disorganized because I didn’t know where anything was.  I love using this bag, and knowing where everything is has made things so much easier. Also can’t wait to us my Mrs. Smith bag for upcoming plane and road trips!

You can use as a messenger diaper bag

OR

you can wear Mrs. Smiths Diaper Bag as a backpack!

Traveling With Children: Organization {Mrs. Smith’s Bags Diaper Bag Review & Giveaway}

This product is featured as part of a week of Traveling With Children necessities.

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…
