Things I Love: Columbia Trekster Diaper Bag*

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

One of the most important pieces of baby gear is your diaper bag.  A good diaper bag can mean the difference between frantically pawing for minutes on end whilst your baby screams, or having easy access to your item of need.

I’d had one of the ubiquitous, cavernous diaper bags for the Munchkin, and while it was handy for the first few months, it stopped being so when used for shorter trips, as well as when he got older and just required less stuff.  We wound up just switching to a regular old backpack, which while not ideal, was serviceable.

So with the arrival of my daughter, I swore I would choose function over form, and I’m glad to say I was right.  I usually am, so it wasn’t a total surprise, but it’s always nice to have my superiority confirmed.  After doing tons of research, I chose the Columbia Trekster Diaper Bag, and haven’t looked back since.

There are so many things I love about it, it’s hard to put it all down without sounding like a shill.  It is lightweight, and entirely comfortable to carry.  You can carry it like a traditional backpack, or it works over the shoulder, too. It is ideal for short trips, which, let’s face it, make up the majority of outings with baby.  However, it does have enough room that you could use it for a day trip as well.  It has a handy middle zipper that allows quick access into the bag without undoing the main zippers.  It’s got an insulated pocket, a key fob, and a dedicated pacifier pocket.

It manages to pack in pretty much everything you need in a compact, easy to use bag.  Love it.

Oh, and did I mention the best part?  Your man will have absolutely no qualms about schlepping this puppy around, as pretty much no one will recognize it as a diaper bag. Win all around!

* I received no compensation for this review.  I bought the bag with my own money.  OK, well, maybe I used a gift card I got from my baby shower, but technically, my own money.
