The 3 Best Diaper Bags for Babywearing
The 3 Best Diaper Bags for Babywearing

I often bring both a stroller and a baby carrier when I go out with my kids. I like having options and I like to put my diaper bag, drink, coat and anything else I have with me in the stroller. That way, even if I end up wearing the baby, I'm not carrying additional things in my arms.

Sometimes, though, it's more convenient to go out without the stroller. Especially for quick errands or walks to the park, I like to just pop baby in a carrier and go. But no matter where you're going, babies always come with baggage.

Read on to find the one for you!

We all want to do what’s best for our babies, but this is one topic that leaves many parents confused about what the best practice is.

The truth usually lies somewhere in the middle, and I’m here to help you parse it out.
