My journey to finding the perfect diaper bag began when my son turned 15 months old. Living in New York City presents unique challenges when choosing baby gear. I needed something practical yet stylish.
Initially overwhelmed by expensive options and variety, I delayed my decision. Without a car to stash extras, I wanted a bag that held plenty, was easy to clean, and wasn’t a backpack. Backpacks, although popular, don’t suit crowded spaces and can cause discomfort.
During pregnancy, I improvised with an old yoga bag until clearer needs emerged. Gradually, I realized a ‘diaper bag’ wasn’t essential. Instead, I required a versatile bag that fit my lifestyle. That’s where the Super Bagg from the Coco Rocha x Baggallini collection came in.
Features
Model and mother Coco Rocha, inspired by working moms’ needs, designed this all-in-one bag. It’s ideal for various scenarios, from taking kids out to attending work meetings or hitting the gym.
Pros
- Spacious enough for all essentials
- Multiple pockets for organized storage
- Includes a laptop pocket, eliminating the need for multiple bags
- Three adjustable straps for different needs
Cons
- Priced at $200
- Top zipper challenging to use single-handedly
- Large size may not fit under many strollers
With its sleek appearance, this bag doesn’t look like it typically carries diapers and other baby essentials. This versatility means I don’t need to switch bags depending on whether my son is with me. The mark of attention to detail is evident in its design. Side pockets run the bag’s length, originally intended for shoes, I found them useful for wet items, such as after a splash pad visit, and for organizing changing supplies.
The interior offers dedicated spaces for water bottles, a laptop sleeve, and small pockets for cell phones. For moms who enjoy organization or simply need a bag to fit everything, it is practical.
However, its shape can make unzipping difficult when handling a lot or dealing with a fussy child. I often needed to set it down to open it. Despite this drawback, the bag’s longevity remains unproven. I’ll judge its value over time, hoping for durability over several years. For now, it’s an excellent choice for moms balancing work and childcare needs.
