Being a new Mom is quite the challenge. After all, you’re now responsible for your baby’s needs as well as your own.
One of the most important things that any new mom needs is a bag that can accommodate everything she needs for the baby while they’re out and about. And if that bag can also spare some space for your essentials (and still looks stylish), then that’s even better!
At Vera Bradley, we understand the importance of a good bag for first-time moms. That’s why many of the bags we design are perfect for the various stages of early motherhood.

Everyday Bags For New Moms
Once you return home with your new bundle of joy, everything you need to keep your baby comfortable, fed, warm and happy is in your nursery. Yet, it’s a different story the first time you and baby venture outside your home!
Whether you’re visiting the grandparents, running errands or going to baby’s first follow-up appointment, you’re going to need a bag with enough room to hold everything your baby needs - and frees up both your hands so you can easily look after your baby with no issues.
Our collection of Large Backpacks are here to assist you when you’re away from home!
You’ll never leave an everyday essential behind with our Large Travel Backpack. Its generously sized, expandable main compartment can easily hold multiple changes of clothes and a smaller cooler bag with baby bottles, while the front zip compartment lets you easily retrieve diapers, pacifiers, toys and snacks. Multiple slip and mesh pockets provide additional storage solutions and an interior leash prevents you from misplacing your keys. A pair of padded shoulder straps allow you to comfortably carry it around wherever your day takes you and your baby!
Don’t let the super lightweight and squishy construction of our Featherweight Travel Backpack fool you. It’s incredibly sturdy and roomy enough to carry all your baby basics and personal items with you when you’re stepping outside your home.

Multipurpose Bags For Toddler Moms
As your child grows, your needs as a mom will change, too! You’ll no longer need an extra-large bag or backpack to act as a portable nursery. When your child becomes a toddler, you just need to worry about the necessary essentials.
When you’re ready to downsize, check out our line of Small Backpacks to find the style that best suits your changing needs.
Our Small Backpack offers many of the same benefits and perks as our large backpacks - only at half the size! Designed for comfortable and easy transport on one shoulder, this trendy backpack includes a sizable main compartment that’s perfect for storing snacks, juice boxes, toys, books, stuffed animals or anything else you need to keep your child happy and engaged at a playdate, doctor’s office waiting room, or while you’re socializing with other parents. A zippered front compartment is a great place to store your personal belongings along with emergency essentials such as tissues and wet wipes.
Looking for something a little more compact but equally accommodating? This Convertible Small Backpack checks both of those boxes. The perfect combination of purse and backpack, this fashionable accessory offers an ample amount of storage space thanks to its spacious zippered compartment, side pockets and an additional slip pocket. Finish with an adjustable shoulder strap for comfortable portability.
