In an unofficial polling of moms and dads that I did (some seasoned parents, some brand new), the question was asked: What are the features you look for or would like to see in a diaper bag?
Survey says......
Moms:
- Worn over the shoulder
- Plenty of Pockets
- Included Changing Pad
- Insulated Bottle Holder
Dads:
What would you say if there is a company that supplies
ALL of those features and more? It's true
Mrs. Smith's Diaper Bags have all that and more!
The Mrs. Smith's Diaper Bag converts to a backpack by using its own shoulder strap. 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.
It has dedicated places for your keys, cell phone, sunglasses, credit cards, cash, ID and water bottle.

A
full size washable changing pad is located in the bag’s flap.

Two bottles and one sippy cup can be accommodated in their own
insulated holders.
6 different patterns are available including Classic Black which the dads won't mind carrying!

Perhaps the most unique thing about Mrs. Smith's Diaper Bags over any other kind has to be the
bottom pullout drawer. I have never seen anything like it. This would be the ultimate diaper bag pick for traveling.
If you aren't convinced that these bags are worth their weight in gold, let me tell you a story....
When Amber was not quite a year old, we decided to pull up and take to the air and visit my grandparents in Europe. At the time I had a vinyl, pastel green diaper bag emblazoned with animals. Not exactly classified as chic in the fashion world. I couldn't possibly find myself traipsing around with that bag on my shoulder. So I decided to buy a regular handbag that I could use instead of a dedicated diaper bag. Big.Mistake. 12 take offs and landings and 8 hour flights do not work well with a bag that is not organized nor made to hold things like bottles, pacifiers and lotions. If only Mrs. Smith had been around then!
3 Plane Changes + Feeding in an Airport Terminal + Acrobatic Diaper Changing in the Claustrophobic Bathroom all with a Mrs. Smith's Diaper Bag = Priceless
These bags will be useful long after you no longer need a diaper bag too. I actually plan to use the Classic Black bag as my carry on when we travel next. The drawer on the bottom will be handy for those quick things we tend to use all the time on flights, like chewing gum, books, and my mp3 player. I won't have to dig through anything and it will be right there for me.

I'd so love the zebra print. My 2 diaper bags are both broken and certainly not as cool looking or functional.
and btw, you're brave. I haven't yet had the nerve to do the flight to Norway to visit my sons grandparents.
