babysparewear

Now with two little ones to look after, getting ready to go out takes even longer, and I often find myself forgetting to pack things in my diaper bag—toys, extra clothes, bibs, etc. Thanks to babysparewear, I don’t think I’ll have a problem forgetting to pack extra clothes anymore!

Founder Veronica Milito created babysparewear after the following incident: “The setting: a busy restaurant. The suspect: an upset tummy. The fallout: she went home in a diaper and a cardigan. (I was prepared for a chilly evening…)”

babysparewear offers kits that include a spare change of clothes in a reusable bag to keep you prepared for your incidents with your own little one. They offer kits for both infants and toddlers, and they even offer eco-friendly kits! The clothing in the kits are colorful and stylish, and the travel case is very cool itself.

I purchased the organic recycle kit for DS#2, which includes a 100% organic cotton jersey long sleeve tee and pants set which were made with low-impact dyes and water-based eco-friendly screen prints. The travel case is made out of organic cotton canvas. The kit's recycle symbol, helps to spread the message “spare the planet for a better tomorrow.”

I think it's a great idea--a cute spare organic outfit in an equally cute organic bag!


What I love the best about the babysparewear kit is that it's small enough to fit in your diaper bag or purse, yet big enough to carry the essentials. If I have a quick errand to run, I can easily slip in a diaper or two and a small pack of wipes in the canvas bag, and the entire kit fits in my purse! I don’t need to carry around my huge diaper bag! Or, if baby’s not going with me and is going to stay with a sitter for a little while, I can easily leave the kit with the sitter!

I'm already planning to purchase a kit for DS#1 for preschool!

The kits are trendy and functional, and would make an ideal gift for any parent of an infant or a toddler.
