Whether you're expecting your firstborn or juggling a toddler and a newborn, you’re going to be packing nappies, snacks, bottles, clothes, dummies and the list goes on....., and don’t forget the essentials for yourself—  I can't go anywhere without my huge drink bottle to stay hydrated

So let’s talk nappy bag options and which nappy bag may be right for you. 

First of all, the main things to look for in a good nappy bag are - 

  • Organised pockets inside and outside
  • A Spacious main compartment
  • Comfortable to wear for long periods of time 
  • Easy to clean
  • Fits your drink bottle
  • Insulated compartments for milk or food
  • Thick straps
  • Waterproof, durable fabrics
  • Does it fit your personal style

Sorrento Nappy Bag

If you’re looking for a practical, comfortable, go-anywhere nappy bag that Dad will happily carry too, the Sorrento Nappy Bag is your best bet. It’s a backpack-style bag which has become the most popular choice in baby bags simply because you are going to need your hands free for your baby!  It’s got all the space you need for multiple little ones 

The pockets in the Sorrento backpack are super organised both inside and outside. It's set up so that you have quick access to the most used itmes on the outside (wipes, bottles, keys, drink bottles, snacks etc) and larger items on the inside. The elasticated side pockets also fit even the largest drink bottles because it is a pet peeve of mine when my own bottle won't fit. 

If you want a nappy bag that is dad-friendly, this is also a great option. We get told a lot that dad has claimed the bag as "his dad bag," and the Sorrento even won the coveted Dadsnet best nappy bag for dads award! 

It also ticks a lot of boxes for traveling with your family as it slides easily over your hand luggage and fits perfectly in overhead lockers.
