When you see that little plus sign on your pregnancy test, life as you know it changes forever. The next 40 weeks (give or take a few) are filled with wonder, excitement, fear and a thousand other emotions. Then after those 6 words, “I think I am in labour”, life is never the same. There is a new sense of priority, I becomes we and your eyes are open to another world. It’s only after having a baby do I realize how much life has changed and how many things are not designed to be family friendly. It amazes me how many sidewalks have a dip for a stroller at one end but not the other, how few elevators there often are in a mall, how narrow parking spaces are and how challenging it can be to travel with an infant. We went for a long weekend to my parents place a few weeks ago. It is is 2 hour drive to my parents place so we stopped for a snack at a popular fast food place and after eating asked if there was a changing table/family friendly restroom where I could nurse and change my son. The lovely young girl at the cash was quite perplexed at my request and said, “You can change him on the floor if you like”. On the floor, eew yuck! I am not sure which would be worse, to put our beautiul son with his snugglly blanket on the dirty floor or to be enjoying a burger and have someone do a diaper change beside me. Augh!
Luckily, there are some forward thinking companies out there who are solving these kinds of dilemma for grateful parents everywhere. Going on any kind of outing with your child is supposed be fun and hassle free, the dynamic duo behind Baggino have answered the cries of frustrated parents who have ever had to change their baby in less than sanitary or cramped areas. I received for review the innovative Junior Combination Diaper Bag-n-Changing from Baggino; a company making modern baby accessories for modern parents.
Baggino is the brain child of parents who wanted more flexibility when traveling with a baby. The Baggino Junior Combination Diaper Bag is an over the shoulder style diaper bag which converts to hands free changing belt, easy access for all your baby needs. The Baggino Junior is made from stain resistant wipeable material (no need to put snuggly blankets underneath baby), it has an adjustable strap so it can be used by mommy and daddy as well as fit over the stroller handles. There are four pockets; ideal for diapers, wipes, cream/lotions, extra outfit, etc. The wipes pocket has a little opening so you can open the wipes container with one hand and not have to take out the whole container. Such a great idea, our little guy is so wiggly now, one hand is usually all I have to grab wipes. Changing him in public is so challenging now, I need three hands. The Baggino Junior is especially handy when cruising the mall, I really don’t want to put my diaper bag on the floor in the public washroom and there usually isn’t a shelf beside those baby changing stations.
The Baggino Junior has the extra clever feature of a two sided zipper, so it can worn either way (pockets in or out) for really easy accessibility to all baby needs and it comes with its own changing pad. In stylish green or black, the Baggino Junior is an incredibly clever way to have easy access to all your baby needs and the best thing is not having to put your diaper bag down on surfaces which may be dirty (public bathroom floor….ick)
Along with these clever combo bags, Baggino makes a larger diaper bag combo, insulated bags for bottles, bibs and handy duo clips.
