The Diaper Clutch

Here is the first prototype of my diaper clutch based on all the wonderful feedback I received from fellow moms. This is really handy for babies of all ages. For newborns it would be great to keep in the car or stroller as a back-up for diaper changes you don't expect. For an older baby or toddler it is great to keep in your own bag for the minimal essentials you need.

It stores 2 large diapers, a kushies-style travel change pad, a small tube of diaper cream and a half-full travel wipes (or a full hard-case wipes), as well as a small wallet, keys & old-school phone in the zippered pocket.






There was a majority in favour of velcro closure for one-handed opening and durability. I tossed in the zippered pocket for quick access without opening the whole bag. The wrist strap has a small buckle to allow you to loop it around a stroller handle or lash it to your purse handle, and easily carry it while wrangling a squirmy baby.

My next stab at this diaper clutch will include a fold-out change mat that can be removed to wash and fairly wipeable (made of nylon).

Please let me know what you think of this clutch prototype so far and if you have any neat ideas for how to make it even more useful!
