Diaper Bags II

In addition to my previous post regarding diaper bags, after becoming a true diaper bag user after 9 months, I have opted for a backpack of all things. Not just any, but the WONDERFUL Dakine Girl's Prom Pack. Plenty of pockets, plenty of room for diapers, wipes, toys, food, etc. Biggest perk, an insulated pocket to keep foods cool. In addition there is a water bottle side pocket, a padded sun glass pouch, and a padded laptop pocket which makes a great storage area for diapers. AMAZING! Plus easily wearable on the shoulder. Pockets on the side are also insulated. Best bag ever for baby.



Once again, happy totting.

Sunscreen

Oh man, this one is huge for us. Originally from San Diego and having surfed my whole life we are HUGE beach people. I have fair skin and unsure at this point whether my son is fair skin or got lucky and has my husbands beautiful Brazilian skin. Either way, protecting his skin is very important to me as I have done enough damage to my own. It is also important that it doesn't run into his eyes and is VERY waterproof. We have only tried two, but got lucky on our first try thanks to a fellow mom with two little ones who spends a lot of time at the beach.

My favorite, proves to be very waterproof and has protected my suns skin. It has the highest rating of UV protection from the FDA.
It contains two formulas:
* Mango & Coconut scent with Aloe and Vitamins A & E
* Hypoallergenic & Fragrance Free
I purchased the SPF 50 and love it.


My second trial was with a lotion on sale. I HATE it. It burned my sons eyes SO bad. It also gave him a rash. Coppertone® Water BABIES® QuickCover® Lotion Spray SPF 50 was awful. Although I have trusted Coppertone for years out in the water for long hours, I will not use again for my baby.


Hope this help protect your baby when playing outside.

Happy sunning,
Jessica

Amazing for the serious runner. This is great for long mileage. Although not easy to maneuver around corners, due to stable front tire...absolutely amazing for streamlined, fast running.
