Diaper clutch with pouch for wipes great for short trips

Name: Kristi G grab and go clutch

What it is: A miniature diaper bag with a stealth wipe pouch for one-handed access.

How it works: It’s designed to act as a diaper bag without looking like a diaper bag, so it’s sized to hold two or three diapers, a snack and your regular purse essentials (keys, wallet, cell). An inside pocket holds a plastic pouch of wipes, which you can get to through a zipped enclosure on the back of the purse.

The good: The wipe pouch cannot be overpraised. No more one-handedly digging through the bottomless diaper bag for the package of wipes, jimmying them open, tugging out a handful and attempting to apply them to the squirming child. The fabric also is coated with a spill-repellent.

The bad: A tad pricey, given that it’s not large enough to act as your sole diaper bag. It works great for an outing of a couple hours or a short plane ride.

Cost: $69.
