Having a baby [1] isn't exactly mess-free. Life with small children is filled with spit-ups, Lego stuck in the carpet [2] that are just waiting to be stepped on, so many nappies, and things just magically disappearing, to never be seen again.
Baby bags are helpful, usually coming with a bunch of compartments to store everything you could ever want or need when you leave the house. But parents have a lot of needs. Also, many are opting to nix the baby bag for a regular tote bag, which makes for an even more urgent need for pockets, compartments, and zip pouches. That's where the perfect nappy bag organiser comes in: filled to the brim with zippers and pockets galore, it will house toys, nappies, wipes, bottles, and even your wallet and keys. And just like that, life became at least a bit easier, or at least way more organised. Ahead, see our top picks for cute and practical nappy bag organisers.
