I am a…Mom On The Move. Going to get groceries, headed to a park, driving to karate class, swinging by the library –always moving and always with a toddler (and add a couple of kids to that equation during the summer). Always on the go means I have to be organized and have my diaper bag stocked for everything from everyday needs to emergency items. Here is my diaper bag checklist for a Mom on the Move.
Hand sanitizer and wipes are always easily accessible in my diaper bag (going directly from playground to snack, we always need a hand clean-up). A bottle of water for the whole family is now an on-the-go staple and you never know who is going to get thirsty when you are out and about (and the best fast food is food you already have!). Dependable diapers are a must because a diaper fail is never a good thing, no matter how kid-friendly your destination may be. My phone is my favourite portable kids’ activity (my kids’ fave too). I load it with age appropriate games and videos and offer it as a really-special-treat for when we are waiting in doctor’s offices. A change of clothes is a must (not only for spills, but also for spontaneous outings to indoor playgrounds where socks are obligatory or as a change after a surprise splash pad find).
Are you a Mom On The Move too (or Dad or other caregiver)? I created a FREE printable Diaper Bag Checklist to help make going out with baby a little easier.

Here’s a snapshot of where my Mom on the Moves took me this week: Grocery store (2x), library, park (4x), farmer’s market, shopping mall, home building store, playdate (2x), walk in the ‘hood (3x), ortho appnt (2x). My diaper bag essentials are my go-to for keeping toddler clean, dry, fed, and happy (and myself as well!).
