Top tips
Spare clothes: Keep a spare change of clothes (or two) for both baby and you in wet bags, like our Trio of Pouches, for quick outfit changes.
Diaper caddy: Pack a diaper changing caddy, like the Otis Caddy, so you can quickly access your change essentials. Include your favourite diapers, wipes, bags, cream and a wipe-clean changing mat. Shop caddies here >
Hands-free: Pieces that allow you to keep your hands free are essential when holding a newborn, right through to the toddler years. Our Luxe Knot Key Rings hang from your wrist so you've got two free hands when getting your little one out of their car seat or stroller. Or use a Carabiner Capsule to combine a Luxe Elsie Wallet, keys and your parenting essentials in a Luxe Pouch that can clip straight onto your stroller handlebar.
Stroller straps: Keep a set of stroller straps attached to your stroller so you can swiftly attach your Alf bag.
