Find the perfect diaper bag - with these tips for the right model

Our mara mea guide to buying the right diaper bag

What's the perfect diaper bag for me, and how do I find one? This short guide will give you some pointers to help you choose the right companion and introduce you to our favorites.

The diaper bag – an important companion

A diaper bag is much more than just a stylish accessory. It's your companion from the very beginning and plays an important role in ensuring you feel comfortable and as flexible as possible while out and about with your baby. Putting time and thought into choosing the right bag is well worth it – including the design, of course. With the various models and styles of our mara mea diaper bags and the versatile carrying options, we want to help ensure that every mom finds the perfect companion for her and her individual needs.

Choosing the right diaper bag: How much storage space do I need?

The most important question when buying a diaper bag is: How much space do I need? A practical compartment system is also essential when traveling with a baby. After all, diapers and other items need to be quickly accessible.

Diaper bag all-rounder for baby number one

For baby number one, a larger diaper bag with a bit more space is advisable. After all, traveling with a baby is something completely new, and you want to feel safe and prepared for anything. Our absolute favorites for new moms: the Classic Diaper Bag or the Travel Diaper Bag . Both models offer enough space for diapers, bottles, and the like – but the practical compartment system means you'll have everything to hand in no time. As a new mom, you'll also still have to figure out whether you prefer traveling with a stroller or a baby carrier. Accordingly, the flexible carrying options – as a stroller bag, as a shopper, or as a diaper backpack – are perfect for you.

With baby number two, things can be a little more relaxed with the diaper bag

If you're planning on buying a new diaper bag for baby number two or three, you'll probably already know exactly what you'll need (and what you won't need) when you're out and about. Many moms tell us that with baby number two, they realize all the unnecessary things they brought with them with their first child. And most of the time, you still need what you don't have with you... (well, who knows that? 😊). So, if you're already used to "I pack my diaper bag and take with me...", you can safely opt for a smaller diaper bag, which also makes a comfortable companion for all everyday situations.

We love the mara mea City diaper bag . Its simple design makes it hard to guess that it's a diaper bag, so you can also use it later as a bag for the office or a stroll around town.

The design – playful boho look or simple unisex model?

When choosing a color and design, you should consider various factors. Do you plan to carry your diaper bag primarily with your stroller? Then you're on the safe side with a solid model like the little wanderer . Here, you can base your color selection on the stroller, but keep in mind that the stroller is usually only used for a few months. Your own style and taste are therefore probably the most important factors when choosing the perfect diaper bag; after all, it will also accompany you later in your everyday life. Do you love playful boho designs and light summer tones? Then the extra romance or road trip diaper bags are sure to be your favorites. Do you want to combine the bag with many different looks? With the real wanderer in olive green, you have a stylish, simple companion that goes with everything. Just as important when choosing a bag: unisex models like the travel diary or global traveler in black can be worn by mom and dad!

Maxi versions for special occasions

We at mara mea love the XXL Weekender diaper bag relaxscape – whether for a weekend trip or a yoga session after work. A larger diaper bag model is perfect for you if you plan to travel frequently, sometimes for longer periods, with your baby, or if you want plenty of storage space for all occasions.
