Oh, I bet you didn’t see this coming! The days of your science teacher, nursing instructor or grandma being the only ones walking around with a belt bag aka Fanny pack are over.
Yup, there’s no difference between a belt bag and a fanny pack. At least, here in the U.S., they’re the same.
That’s right, they’re back. An accent to every mom’s wardrobe. The best belt bags for moms that want to stay on trend, look good and get rid of the diaper bag have arrived.
I never thought I would see the day when I would actually want a belt bag but I think I’m a cool mom and apparently, so many other mamas out there do too.
While I like to look good by no means am I a fashion expert but I must say belt bags for mom and dad are officially here to stay. At least for a while.
Why do you ask?
Because they are so incredibly convenient. We don’t always want to carry around our kids, strollers/wagons, and diaper bags. Sometimes we want to keep our hands free or run into the grocery store without needing to take the whole car with us.
A belt bag allows you to be free from all of that stuff (except for the kids) and provides just enough room to bring along the essentials.
There are so many styles to choose from. There’s a fanny pack for everyone’s needs. From the diaper belt bag to cool fanny packs that will make a fashion statement.
But wait, how do you even wear a Fanny pack? Wear it across the body, around your waist, or on the shoulder, it’s totally up to you. Or if you need to, connect it to the baby stroller.
You can dress it up or dress it down by wearing it with a lounge set or a blazer and faux leather pants. The choice is yours.
For the minimalist mama, or the mom of toddlers looking for a belt bag this list of the best belt bags for moms will have you covered too.
