The EquiptBaby Diaper Bag Makes Parenting Easier with Features Moms Love-Giveaway

July 21, 2016 by Kathryn 70 Comments

Taking care of a baby is exhausting, whether you’re a first time mother or you already have a house full of children. And if there’s one item in a mother’s arsenal that can make her day either much easier or much harder, it’s the diaper bag. A good one keeps items organized, holds all the essentials and is easy to use and carry. An awkward one may require constant rummaging, be too small to be useful or be so big that it’s impossible to carry comfortably.

Then there’s the EquiptBaby Diaper Bag. And when I say that it’s in a class all its own, I mean it! This bag takes the must-haves from the best diaper bags, eliminates annoyances from the worst ones and then tops off its design with innovative features I have never seen on a diaper bag before, yet loved at first glance. I recently received the EquiptBaby Santa Rosa Diaper Bag so that I could see its differences for myself and I was impressed as soon as I pulled it out of the package.

One of the highlights of the diaper bag for me? The hard bottom of the bag! It’s such a simple addition to a regular diaper bag, yet it makes such a big difference in the ease of use. Instead of having to worry about a full diaper bag tipping over and spilling contents as a mom juggles the bag and the baby, the flat plastic bottom ensures that the diaper bag sits upright securely for easy access to the contents.

But that’s just the start of what makes the EquiptBaby Diaper Bag such a great choice for parents. Multiple pockets in the interior lets a busy mom keep bottles and snacks separate from clothes and diapers…and even leaves enough room for mom essentials like sunglasses and a wallet too! Best of all, one of those organized interior pockets is insulated, so bottles and snacks stay cool all day. When my boys got old enough to drink milk and juice, keeping it cold and fresh was a constant challenge. This diaper bag makes it easy and convenient to bring refreshments out of the house!

EquiptBaby also offers an ingenious Bassinet and I think I loved it even more than the diaper bag. This handy little bassinet is big enough for a baby up to about nine months of age and protects little ones from the sun and insects while outside…yet it folds up to be no bigger than a Frisbee for easy packing! I loved the idea of being able to have a comfortable spot for Baby to rest anytime and anywhere without having to lug around heavy baby gear.

Want to see the EquiptBaby difference for yourself? You’re in luck! One very lucky Mommy Kat and Kids reader is going to win their very own EquiptBaby Diaper Bag, a $70 value! To enter to win, just leave a blog comment about what feature of the EquiptBaby Diaper Bag you love most.

From the expandable sides of this diaper bag that let it hold extra gear for a long day or road trip, to the stylish colour and shape of the bag that lets a parent still feel trendy while carrying it, there’s just so much to love about the EquiptBaby Diaper Bag.

You’ll Love Heading Out with Your Baby with the babymoov Free Hand Nappy Bag from Cariboo Distribution-Giveaway

January 15, 2014 by Kathryn 126 Comments

If there’s one thing that can make life easier for a new mom, it’s a really good diaper bag. I remember when I gave birth my oldest son, the only diaper bag I had was a large denim sack with a change mat built into the cover flap. It had a one-size-only crossbody strap, one undivided large main pocket and Winnie the Pooh on the front of it. In other words, it was neither stylish nor functional and I dreaded carrying it around.

Times sure have changed since then! Fortunately for women everywhere, companies have realized that a high level of function in a diaper bag is something a mom needs and that cute, stylish designs are something a mom wants! As a result, we finally have tons of choices when it comes to choosing a diaper bag that looks great and organizes all that baby gear. Recently I had the chance to check out the babymoov Free Hand Nappy Bag from Cariboo Distribution, a company that specialises in distributing top brands such as Baby K’Tan and Simply Good in Canada. It looked like just the sort of diaper bag I love so I was excited to get my hands on it and check out its features.

December 10, 2013 by Kathryn 72 Comments

If there’s one thing that a mother never stops needing regardless of her child’s age, it’s a diaper bag. My boys aren’t in diapers anymore, so I don’t want a bag that actually looks like a diaper bag. But since I’m carrying my own gear as well as items for my boys any time I leave the house, I still need a bag that is roomy and easy to keep organized. And then Ju-Ju-Be came to my rescue with the B.F.F. bag. In just a few short weeks, this bag really has become my best friend forever!

Ju-Ju-Be bags are already considered the ultimate must-have for a new mom, and with good reason. These bags are multi-functional, easy to organize and come in a huge array of designer styles. Tokidoki is a funky fashion line with a global cult following obsessed with its adorable characters and I have to admit, I fell in love with the Ju-Ju-Be B.F.F. Tokidoki bag in Fairytella as soon as I saw it. The Tokidoki fabric is fun and stylish, and the red lining and trim accents the bag perfectly. I couldn’t wait for the bag to arrive so that I could see if it really was as useful as it was trendy. [Read more…]

Three Diaper Bag Essentials for a Mom on the Move

August 21, 2013 by Kathryn 11 Comments

I have always been a woman that loves to be on the go and having children didn’t change that at all. Even when my boys were just newborns, I took them out on long walks around the neighbourhood or out to local mom and baby events. It let me get out of the house and enjoy some adult conversation and exercise, while my boys got to see new sights and enjoy the outdoors.

Being out of the house so much, I quickly learned that my diaper bag was my best friend. A mom on the move needs to be prepared for all kinds of baby emergencies and every time I was caught without something I needed when away from home, I added another diaper bag essential to my supplies.

The most important items in the diaper bag were, of course, the diapers themselves. It’s a fact of life that the one time a diaper bag doesn’t get restocked with diapers will be the one time that a mom encounters a very messy emergency when out of the house. I like to restock the diaper bag as soon as I get back from an outing so that I will never have to rush home in a panic. Huggies Snug & Dry Diapers are an absolute must in any diaper bag since the SureFit design provides up to twelve hours of leak protection. And the diapers fit nice and close to a baby’s body to help them stay in place no matter how squirmy a little one is! [Read more…]

Glup Baby Accessories Provide Practical and Trendy Essentials for Little Ones-Giveaway

April 2, 2013 by Kathryn 84 Comments

When my boys were babies, I learned for the first time how much easier life could be with the right baby gear. I had that common mentality of thinking that all strollers, diaper bags and infant outerwear was the same until I was actually using some different products. That’s when it became clear that well-designed baby products were worth their weight in gold to a frazzled new mom.

Sisters Alexandra and Isabelle created the company because they knew that mothers crave products that are useful, stylish and environmentally responsible. But above all else, mothers crave products that make life with a little one easier!

I recently received the Glup Drool Bib, Trimini and Diaper Bag to review and I was excited to see exactly what made these products, which are designed and manufactured right in Quebec, Canada, so special. I checked out the Drool Bib first because the design seemed so ingenious for both parents and babies. [Read more…]
