Product Information

Natasha Bhuyan, M.D., vice president of in-office care at One Medical, is both a physician and a new mom, so she’s recently done quite a bit of research on diaper bags. She tells Parents she was surprised by how much there was to learn about the topic. “Who knew something so seemingly straightforward could be so complicated!” Dr. Bhuyan says. Make sure the surface you use is as flat as possible and dry, you could put a changing pad or blanket below your baby. When it’s raining you’ll want to look for a sheltered spot or put an umbrella up or something above your baby. Dressing Baby for Easy Diaper Changes Outside Maybe one of the least fun parts of diapering in the outdoors is taking home all the soiled diapers. But there are ways to make this job easier. Being outdoor parents, we want to take care of nature as best as we can, making sure to Leave No Trace (LNT).

You might never realize how important easy access to your diaper bag’s essentials is until you have an emergency and need that diaper ASAP. Zippers can provide easy access and as Dr. Bhuyan points out, can also avoid waking up a baby—as opposed to the louder Velcro option. So what is this about? There is this thing called Elimination Communication (EC). It was practiced by our ancestors and is still the way most people in the non-western world take care of their babies elimination needs. EC is a way to potty your baby starting as early as birth. It’s nothing like potty training, it’s about communicating with your baby and offering to potty when they need to go. Be prepared to take soiled diapers and used wipes all the way home. Poop rests can be buried in a cat hole following the LNT principles. When washing cloth diapers or soiled clothes, treat your dirty water like you would treat human waste. Diapers and Bears Material: Nylon twill, vegan leather trim, channel stitched webbing, recycled poly lining with stain resistant finish, silicone accessories, nylon coil zippers, zinc alloy hardware When you’re camping, it all depends again on the kind of camping you’re doing. If there are trash facilities for disposables or washing machines for cloth diapers, you can just diaper like you would at home.So, you’re on the trail and your baby needs a diaper change. First of all you will have to find a good spot. A good spot is flat and safe, best will be to do it on the ground. But Take Note: It might not fit in smaller stroller compartments, and most of the storage is inside only.

If you need to use the diaper bag primarily with a stroller, you may prefer something more compact that fits in a stroller cargo area or can attach to it. And lastly, you definitely want a diaper bag that you enjoy using and looking at. It took me several kids before I realized I could get a diaper bag that I liked, not just one I thought I needed because it looked kid-friendly. (I’m looking at you, Winnie-the-Pooh.) Looking for a spot in winter can be a bit of a challenge. The best would be to find a snow free picnic table or bench. If you are nowhere near any of those, then just do it on a flat spot on the ground. I recommend you to go a bit off the trail as to not have to move out of the way of other hikers or get disturbed by overly curious dogs. You could also use a picnic table or bench, as long as you always hold baby with at least one hand. Keeping Baby Cozy and Happy When Changing Diapers OutsideAs for wipes the absolute lightest solution will be to use regular wipes and let them air dry ahead of time. Then when you need some you can simply squirt a little water onto them. Bottle-feeding parents will also appreciate ease of access for feeding supplies—for instance, a diaper bag that offers a built-in cooler or bottle holder on the side can make your life a lot easier. Dr. Bhuyan also recommends looking for a diaper bag with a stable shelf area on the bottom for more convenient access: “The stability keeps it upright,” she notes. When it’s freezing cold outside some people like to change to disposables even when they usually cloth diaper. Disposables feel less wet and therefore less cold. If you would like to keep using your cloth diapers, there are ways to keep baby warmer. And it keeps baby happier for longer, for instance because he’s longer dry in the carrier. Plus you’ll save some diapers and might even avoid poopy diapers at all, which is a big win when you’re out on the trail! How to Carry Everything When Adventuring With Your Baby in Diapers Why We Like It: An integrated yet removable changing station means you’ll never have to change your baby on the floor again.

Store heavier objects in the center and lighter objects in the sides to keep the bulk of the weight centered,” she suggests. And don’t forget that material matters: “The material should not be scratchy or uncomfortable,” Dr. Bhuyan adds. You’ll also need some kind of bag to keep your soiled diapers from making everything messy and smelly. Most convenient is a wet bag, although you could always take a plastic grocery bag as well if that’s what you have on hand. Optionals for Diapering in the Outdoors The first decision to make will be to choose cloth or disposable diapers and wipes. We looked at diaper choice before. The most lightweight option is probably the hybrid system with cloth diaper covers and disposable inserts. Just be careful if your baby often has massive blowouts, the disposable inserts might not contain the mess as well as cloth diaper inserts. Last but not least, when carrying smaller items that could be a choking hazard or known risks, like infant medication, it’s best to stow those items well out of reach within the diaper bag.You can bring an airtight container or trash can to store them when the trash facilities are not so close by. Some more tips for camping and cloth diapering can be found here. The large main compartment has a convenient removable middle insert that can divide the space in half to organize the contents. Or, if you want just one large space, just take out the insert.
