My son is 15 months old, and I just got my first diaper bag because I was too overwhelmed by the options to choose one when I was pregnant. Baby gear is expensive and, when it comes to diaper bags, there are hundreds of options. As a mom living in New York City, I knew I needed a bag that could hold a lot since I can't just throw extra things in my car.
I also wanted a bag that could get wet and be easily cleaned. And I knew I didn't want a backpack. I know people love them, but I find them cumbersome and incredibly annoying in crowded spaces.
Plus, they make my back sweat. So, while I was pregnant, I used an old yoga bag until I decided what I needed from a diaper bag. What I’ve realized is that I don’t actually need a diaper bag.
I need a bag for diapers, yes, but a lot of diaper bags out there just don’t fit my lifestyle. The Super Bagg from the Coco Rocha x Baggallini collection is an all-inclusive bag that could be perfect for moms. Coco Rocha is a model and a mom of three, and like Jane Birkin before her, she decided she needed a bag that accommodated the ever-changing needs of a working mom.
That includes the mom who takes her kids out, the mom who goes to work, and the mom who needs to get a workout in. The look of the bag is top-notch. It honestly doesn't look like a bag that would realistically be holding diapers, wipes, toys, pacifiers, snacks, burp cloths, bottles, water bottles, and all the other things moms have on them on any given day.
And I love that because I barely have the energy to shower multiple times a week; I'm not changing bags depending on whether my son is with me and then praying I remembered to put everything I need in it. Since it doesn't look like a typical mom bag, I can use it when I'm out by myself or when my son's with me. There's also a clear attention to detail.
