In Search of the Perfect Baby Bag


Classic black Naraya tote to hold my baby stuff for a short day out


Roomy interior but only one side pocket

Every mother will tell you the no. of things to bring increases exponentially with kids. I use to hop around town with a skinny sling bag or petite tote but these are a thing of the past. Now whenever i go out, the standard paraphernalia includes diapers, changing pad, nursing cover, pillow, sets of clothes, toys, vacuum flask and even ice packs if we're bringing expressed breastmilk!

So the search for the perfect baby bag never ceases - where can i find something roomy enough to hold all the knick knacks, have sturdy handles so it doesn't break while you're crossing the road, and still looks ever so stylish on a hot mama? Ok the truth is i haven't found it yet.

Have always loved Naraya for their sweet design and they have an ultra big boxy bag that may fit the bill. But i find it too big and bulky. Then a nice big tote caught my eye instead. It's got a wide base to hold much stuff with a waterproof interior so you need not worry about any spillage. The black exterior also means washing it can be the last thing after washing diapers. The only downside is it has got only one miserable side pocket, which are desirable to hold wet tissues, pacifiers, handphone etc

Nevertheless, this is serving me well for now, until the perfect bag pops up :)
Note: the PERFECT bag never exists because if it did then every woman would only own one bag ^_^
