First, you have to think about whether you should go for a small or bigger diaper bag. If you feel that you have a lot of things to be bringing with you wherever you go, a big diaper bag should be an appropriate choice.

A small diaper bag would be used for short trips maybe to the park or day care while the big one will be used for travel or overnight trips.

Would you go for a diaper bag with a shoulder strap or one in backpack design? A lot of the designs that are coming out in the market are in backpack design which is more convenient for any parent. With a backpack diaper bag, you have both hands free to take care of your baby and carry other stuff.
