How to pick a stroller organizer: Factors to consider



1) The size

One of the first considerations is the size. Whether you need lots of extra room or just need to keep a few things within reach, there’s an attachable bag for you. The Bugaboo organizer is our slimmest stroller organizer, measuring approximately 14 x 6 x 8 inches, and attaches to the handlebar. If you want a bigger bag that clips to the lower portion of your stroller, go with our changing backpack (which has a 19-liter capacity) or our changing bag, which offers spacious compartments and includes extra clutches. Speaking of compartments, that’s another priority in a stroller organizer. 

2) The right compartments

Choose a stroller organizer that provides the right compartments to keep things organized, secure, and also easy to access. For example, our organizer has three easy-access pockets on the outside to quickly grab what you need as you go, two zippered pockets on the outside to keep important items secure, and a large main compartment on the inside. The changing backpack comes with a detachable, padded changing mat and multiple pockets, including a 17-inch laptop compartment.  

3) Stroller Compatibility 

The main idea of a stroller organizer is that it attaches to your stroller. So, you’ll want to ensure that the organizer you choose is compatible with your stroller and attaches easily. The Bugaboo organizer fits on the handlebar, is easy to attach and remove thanks to the sturdy Velcro straps, and conveniently turns into a hand tote when you need to use your items away from the stroller. It’s compatible with all of our strollers.

The changing backpack attaches to the lower part of the stroller and can be directly connected to Bugaboo strollers with integrated attachment points on both sides of the handlebar (the Fox 3 and Donkey 5). If your stroller doesn’t have these attachment points, no worries. Universal adapters come in the box with your changing backpack for strollers without integrated attachment points. Connect these adapters to the stroller chassis as indicated in the user guide, and then directly hang the changing backpack there.

4) Washability

When it comes to baby items, washability is key no matter what product you’re talking about! A stroller that’s easy to clean is essential, especially if it’s an all-terrain stroller that will see you through all sorts of off-road adventures.

Your stroller organizer or bag should be easy to clean, too, since spills and crumbs are part of everyday life. The high-quality, water-repellent fabric on the outside of our changing bag makes it spill-proof, and the two wipe-clean inside compartments are perfect for separating wet from dry. 

5) Style

Your stroller organizer isn’t just a helpful accessory. It’s also a bag that goes with you, whether you’re using it on the stroller, detaching it and carrying it as a tote, or wearing it as a backpack. Make sure it suits your style! Choose a color and design that make you feel good. 

6) Environmental Impact

Just as with any other baby product you purchase, you want to feel good about your stroller and organizer and the impact they have on the environment. Here at Bugaboo, we are interested in reducing our environmental footprint and enabling every parent and child to reduce theirs, too. For example, the changing backpack is PVC- and PFC-free and is made from 100% certified recycled fabrics using 45 PET bottles.

But our care for the environment doesn’t stop there. We’ve always designed our products to be durable and last at least through three generations. High-quality replaceable parts, testing beyond industry standards, and continuous innovation are in our DNA. We’re increasing our use of renewable electricity and decreasing our greenhouse gas emissions. By 2026, our goal is to have our offices and factories at 100% renewable electricity and a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per stroller. And yes, we’re talking about reducing our emissions, not just offsetting them. By that same year, our materials and shipping lines will use sustainable and renewable sources.

7) The right stroller, too

Maybe you’re buying a stroller organizer to go with your stroller. Or maybe you’re on the hunt for a stroller, too. If that’s the case, opt for a stroller that’s every bit as convenient and functional as the organizers we’ve mentioned in this article. We’ll tell you about two of our favorites. The Butterfly is our one-second fold, ultra-compact stroller for travels near and far. And if the one-second fold concept wasn’t enough, you can do it with just one hand. Weighing only 16 pounds, it’s light and perfect for zooming down the sidewalk or folding and traveling. The large, reclinable seat and adjustable leg rest mean that even sidewalk rush hour is a good time for a rest.

If you have two babies in tow, the versatile Donkey 5 is your friend. It can be configured to fit twins or two kids of different ages, allowing them to face the path ahead or face each other for more sibling bonding time. At 29 inches wide, this double stroller is slimmer than you might think and fits through most standard doorways. With puncture-proof wheels, this stroller offers bump-free adventures, whether you’re exploring your city or the great outdoors.

A stroller organizer for everyday adventures

With your tiny co-pilot by your side, every day is an adventure! Use a stroller organizer to keep everything you need within reach, well-organized, and ready to go. An organizer will offer the compartments you need as well as additional storage space. You can even find one that also detaches and turns into a stylish bag you can carry with you. Depending on your needs and preferences, choose from the Bugaboo organizer, changing bag, changing backpack, or changing clutch. With the perfect stroller organizer in hand, you’re ready to pack, stroll, and go!
