Spring is in the air and our family is on the move everyday! We love to take advantage of the beautiful weather to get up and out of the house. Whether it be exploring a new park, shopping, or just playing at a friends house, we are constantly on the go. With a toddler
in tow, this means that a well packed diaper bag is ESSENTIAL. Today’s post is brought to you by our friends at Huggies as part of the Huggies Tester Program we are part of.
Here are some of my diaper bag
essentials for any mom on the go.
- A great snack cup. Don’t underestimate the value of this crucial diaper bag essential. We have all experienced disaster in the car when the top falls off a snack cup and you arrive at your destination only to find a back seat covered in crushed snacks. Find one with a well fitting lid and a special top, so that your toddler can grab one snack at a time.
- A change of clothes for each child. This one goes without saying. You just never know when you will need a wardrobe change, and you certainly don’t want to be caught unprepared. Keep a seasonal outfit in your diaper bag at all times, and make sure to keep it current!
- Small package of Huggies Changing Pads. These things are a LIFESAVER for those diaper changes on the go. Nobody wants to place their baby on the ground, or on a dirty changing table. The changing pads are large enough to allow your to change your baby, but small and compact enough to fit easily into your bag.
- Sophie the Giraffe teething toy. Keep a spare one in your diaper bag. I have yet to meet any baby or toddler who didn’t love this toy!
- Several Huggies Snug and Dry Diapers. After years (and years and years) of diapering, I have tried all types of brands. But no diaper compares in comfort and absorbency to Huggies Snug and Dry Diapers. They are my go-to diaper for a toddler on the move. Not only do these diapers move with your active toddler, but they are absorbent enough to last for several hours while on an outing without worrying about leaks. Huggies Snug and Dry diapers are super soft and comfy too. A diaper bag essential for any mom! Hey, I even carry a few different sizes just in case a friend needs one for their baby!

When my little man was in diapers I always had a stash of Snug and Dry everywhere….in the dashboard, in my purse, in Hubs car!Now my must carry is always a bottle of water and an extra change of clothes

Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says
What a cutie pie and those do really seem to hug him nicely no matter how active he is!

I was always so bad about replacing changes of clothing once I used them. I ran into some interesting situations that way.
Dawn Lopez says
These are really awesome tips and very important! We actually have an infant and a toddler visiting us for the week and these ring very true! That baby is absolutely adorable too! So cute!
Pam says
What a cutie! I always had to have two changes of clothing in my diaper bag. 🙂
Beeb Ashcroft says
A change of outfit is really good advice. Or, to quote my dad’s wise advice when I was shopping for a baby shower gift: “It doesn’t matter what color the shirt is, the baby’s just going to puke on it anyway!”
Lynsey @MoscatoMom says
Whew, MAN I am glad I am past that stage of my life LOL But I always carried an arsenal of pacifiers – my oldest LOVED her paci, and it was a nightmare if we ever needed one and DIDNT have it LOL

Hehe, what cute pictures! My little one uses Huggies Snug & Dry too and I am loving these adorable grown up Mickey and Minnie prints on them. So sweet!

Awe, what a cute baby! We love Huggies too. We buy Huggies by the case at Costco. I keep hoping that my son will potty train any day now, but I know that it takes time.

What adorable photos! These tips are great. I always made sure our diaper bag is packed when the kids were little. I remember always being on the lookout for the perfect diaper, these sound great!
