Our Diaper Bag Review

I shopped around for a diaper bag for quite some time and eventually landed on the Mina Baie Kinney for everyday use. When I started thinking about packing for our upcoming trip, I wanted a bag I felt could carry all of the diaper essentials AND my carry-on items so we weren’t overloaded with bags. I decided to order the Dagne Dover Indi to test out. If you’re in between bags or looking for a new one, I put together this review of both. Both of these bags are fantastic options for a new mom! Watch my full review or scroll down for the shortened pro/con list.
