The Great Bag Search: Citi Babies

I have a new bag to share with y’all in my Great Bag Search. It is from Citi Babies and I am thinking that it might be the bag. If you aren’t sure what I’m talking about let me refresh you. I have been on the hunt for a bag that would allow me to carry everything I need while style looking stylish.

The first thing that I love about the Citi Traveler Bag is the fact that it allows me too completely hands free if I need to be. It is a backpack and the straps are nicely padded. Available in grey or black and a bargain at only $64.99.

The two handles allow me to carry it in my hand easily. There is also a strap that attaches but I don’t use it. Add in a changing pad and this is the perfect diaper bag for mom or dad. There is simply so much to love about this bag.

The front pocket is large and has two insulated pockets. They are perfect for bottles or juice boxes. I put small bottles of water and hand sanitizer in there. There are also an elastic band to allow for larger bottles. Along with two mesh pockets and you got a lot of storage in the front.

The pockets in either side are gray for those grab and go bottles. I put my drink in there. It makes it easier for me to grab. I will put Ma or my uncle’s drink in one side as well.

There are two pouches that come with the bag. One is the smaller one shown above that I put my gum or other candy in just because I don’t want it to melt and make a mess. The other is larger and I use it as a wet bag for any accidents. Hey they happen more than you think!

The inside is the best. It opens up really big and you can get a ton in there. There is a strap with hook for your keys off to one side. Then, as you can see, there is plenty of organization. On this particular day I needed an umbrella, my wallet, a small pouch that held assorted medication and miscellaneous stuff. a folder with notes from various doctors, my diabetes supplies are in one pocket, rescue inhalers in anther. Sounds like a ton right? There are also an extra pair of eyeglasses, lip gloss, pens, notepads, and various other small items.

Every thing that I needed for this trip to the hospital was in one bag. The best part? The bag isn’t heavy. Now, I will tell you as I was packing for our trip I made it way too heavy. After taking a few things out I got it back down to what I need it to be. At least weight wise. As of this posting this is currently the bag I use 99.9% of the time. I keep it packed, ready to go.

That zipper there in the back? It is another pocket and the place I put my cellphone. I can reach behind my back and grab it when I feel it vibrating against me. I don’t have to worry about it falling out or anything like that. I’ve had it happen in the past.
