Age Appropriate Diaper Bags: Is There Such a Thing?

Babies have constantly changing needs as they grow older. There's such a thing as age appropriate toys, age appropriate clothing, age appropriate formula or food, and so on. So it's just natural to wonder if this age appropriate thing extends to other matters as well, such as diaper bags, for instance.

Technically, there's probably no such thing as an age appropriate diaper bag. However, the age of your baby may definitely affect your choice when you are shopping for a new diaper bag. For example, if you have a newborn, you will probably need a larger bag because, quite surprisingly, younger babies need more stuff. The older they get, the less you will have to bring along when you travel with them.

Very young babies need quite a lot of diaper changes as they still don't have much control over their bladder and their excretory system. You also wouldn't want them to be in wet diapers for a long time, no matter how absorbent the diaper may be. Thus, you will need to pack more diapers in the bag, and you will also need to have adequate storage space for dirty diapers in case there is no place to dispose of them while you are outside the house.

Now, as your baby gets to the age when they start taking solid foods, the diaper changes may not be that frequent but you will still need to have adequate space for the jars of the baby food, in addition to the bottles that the baby will still need. You might also need to pack some extra outfits because there's a good chance that his clothes may get soiled during feeding time.

Once your baby becomes a toddler, you can start using smaller diaper bags because your child will need fewer things. At this point, he may already be toilet-trained so you might not have any need for diapers anymore. He may already be off the bottle so you'll just need to bring a few snacks and a drink for him so a smaller diaper bag will definitely suffice.

When it comes to the style and design of the bag, it really doesn't matter what the age of your child is. The most important thing here is your own personal style because after all, you will be the one carrying the bag and naturally, you would want to have something that suits your preferences and that would make you look good as well.
