Roll-n-Go Diaper Caddy: Good Enough for Brangelina, Ashlee and Pete

Aaron Burgess — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 15:04:00 GMT

If you're not instantly taken by the dragonfly print on LAF Brand's Roll-n-Go Rollable Diaper Caddy, fear not: Though you can use it as-is to transport your diapering and feeding supplies, this pragmatic little number doubles as a liner for your existing purse, day pack or diaper bag. Unrolled (see below), the Roll-n-Go reveals a number of roomy, different-sized pockets for storing everything from diapers and wipes to filled bottles (in its insulated cooler compartment) and extra formula. Heck, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are among the celebrity parents who've been spotted carrying one, and if it's good enough for them, well...

Even though Brad and Angelina, Jason Lee and Ceren Alkac, and Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz (among others) snagged free Roll-n-Gos as part of Jewels and Pinstripes' Celebrity BUMP Bags, the caddy is a pretty reasonable item for us commoners who have to pay for it: Regularly $60 each, the black Extra Large Midnight Roll (pictured at page top) is on sale now for $45, and the red Large Summer Roll (shown unrolled above) is $40.

Get 'em both at LAF Brand's online store.

Dog Saddlebags: The Best Diaper Bag on Four Legs?

Last week I wrote about this diaper caddy from Skip Hop, and although I'm not a big fan of bringing your diaper changing gear from room to room, I thought it was a pretty good product. But in the comments Babble reader "Rocket" had this out-of-the-box solution: put a saddle bag on your dog and stuff it full of diapers and wipes. Genius!

There are a couple of things I love about this idea:

No more free rides for Fido. Everyone else's world is going to be turned upside down by the new baby, so why not get the dog to help too?
The diaper gear comes to you. Now instead of figuring out where you put the diaper caddy, the wipes and diapers are a whistle away. And if you're clever enough, maybe you can train the dog to use it's keen sense of smell to detect the dirty diaper before you can.

So if you're willing to try it out, you can buy saddle bags for your dog at most pet stores, including this Dog Backpack from Pine Creek, $25.98 (pictured).

And if you try it out, PLEASE SEND ME PICTURES so I can post a follow up. Babble readers need to know if man's best friend can also be baby's best friend.
