When I was pregnant with my first child, I didn’t dwell much on diaper bags. I figured any old bag would do, and therefore, I wasn’t about to spend a great deal of time researching the ergonomic uses of a vinyl carrying case. Furthermore, I could think of 101 ways to better spend my money.
I’m one of those gals with an enormous family and a fairly large circle of friends. When it came time for my baby shower, mostly everything was eliminated from my registry. Even the big ticket items, like playpens, high chairs, car seats, and baby swings, had all been purchased.
As it was happening, I never imagined that one, single item would become my greatest gift. The package that would travel with me everywhere, glued to my hip, filled with every imaginable necessity would be the Land’s End Duluxe Diaper Bag in Forest Green.
No matter where we travel, The Land’s End Deluxe Diaper Bag comes with us, overflowing with clothing (both clean and dirty), diapers, toys, food, and liquid refreshment. Despite the abuse and the ridiculous amount of usage this bag receives, it still looks like new.
Really.
In fact, I recently purchased a brand spanking new Land’s End Deluxe Do-It-All Diaper Bag as a shower gift for my best friend (since 2nd grade). As I was filling it with all those necessary nursery items, I realized that this new bag looked and behaved just like my old bag. I was rather amazed, holding my green carrying case next to the shiny new red one, that mine had zero tears, no loose stitching, nada moldy spit-up stains, not even one single blemish.
And that’s not because I’m clean or careful.
Nope. I’m not particularly a tidy Mom. This bag has withstood the test of time simply because it is meticulously manufactured. Made of water-repellent nylon and vinyl with careful stitching at every fabric crease, it feels and looks like new, because it is as good as new..
See, Land’s End supplies a lifetime warranty on its diaper bags. So if I prove myself wrong, I’ll just send it back for repairs.
Furthermore, the Land’s End Deluxe Do-It-All Diaper Bag is organized with handy compartments. There’s a separate zippered area for diapers, with a divider for wipes. In here, you’ll also find a compact changing pad. There’s a large zippered compartment for clothing, blankets and toys. Here, Land’s End has included a waterproof, zippered mini-bag for wet or dirty items. There are bottle (and other) storage flaps which grace the outer areas of the bag. There’s even a large, unzippered compartment for quick stowing of blankets and jackets. I found a small toiletry kit in here, which can be used to store diaper creams, medications, and Mom’s messy tube of lip gloss. Of course, you can shove toys and rattles just about anywhere in the bag, and there’s even a clip for the almighty Binky.
