I had the honor of heading to the Mom 2.0 summit, which gave me opportunities to meet new products coming to market or items that all moms could totally use. Baby Center had a huge display, but what caught my eye was this hanging bag that I loved instantly. I actually ended up Facetiming my oldest daughter to show her for my grandson, but my 8-year-old would totally love it too.

The bag was hanging in a few places, and I instantly fell in love with the clear pocket organization, but there were hidden surprises about this bag that I had no idea about, which I would later learn about from the CEO herself.
This is not a sponsored post; this is an honest post about a product I fell in love with and wanted to share.
It was an hour before I had to leave for my flight, and I headed back to the Baby Center display. Sarah from Bitty Green Co. was there talking all about the bag. I was so excited!!
What are the Bitty Green bags?
Bitty Green Bags are durable kids’ wardrobe and travel organizing bags. They offer three colors: pink, blue, and green. With a soft exterior and a wipe-clean exterior. The size is 23″W x 39.5″H x 3.75″D.
Features
- 6 clear plastic zipper pockets
- 22 label cards
- 2 interior mesh pockets
- Interior hanger hole
- Over the shoulder straps
At first glance, the open hanging Bitty Green bag has 6 clear zippered pockets, an organized dream for people who like to sort or who need visual organization.
However, the bag opens down the middle to an interior pocket. Think kinda garment bag but on steroids. Inside, you can slide hangers to hang items, and there are two large mesh pockets.
The bag then folds in half and has a shoulder strap. You can just zip it up and go, or you can fold it into a suitcase.
The material is so soft, and I love that she even included 22 organizing labels. Those are interchangeable.
The handles on the outside can then just go over your shoulder for travel.

Simplified packing for parents
Bitty Green bags are lightweight and a parent’s co-pilot. Here is why I say that.
- Easy to see pockets
- Easy to grab, especially if you are dealing with littles on the go
- Can be used in many stages of life (infant, toddler, and young child, even parents will benefit from it)
I got to take the packing challenge, and I almost won, but the urge to make it super compact for travel made me take a little longer.😝
However, if you have ever felt flustered digging at the bottom of a bag while your toddler is crying, this will help. If you are an overpacker, seeing items clearly in clear pockets will help you cut down on what you pack.
No one enjoys airport security, especially parents with kids. Should you have to get pulled aside, you can just open the bag, and they can see it all. Saving you time and no worries about them dumping your bag, and then you have to clean it up while your kids are hanging off your shoulders.
I have traveled to many places with my kids, and I was a control freak because I didn’t want them to unpack everything, since we would be in a whole other hotel in two days. With the Bitty Green bag, there is no need. Pack it once, hang it, and just drop it back in when it is time to go.
Now that my kids are older, they can do a lot by themselves, so organizing it so big kids can dress themselves and find everything they need on the go is a perfect way to teach independence. And you can also tell them to pack their own suitcase. WIN WIN.
Bitty Green Bags eliminates the mental load of traveling with kids by giving everything a place — so parents can be present instead of panicking.

The Bitty Carry-all bag
After playing the packing game, Sarah was so generous and gave me a Bitty Carry All bag as a prize. I was thrilled. I used it on my way home from my trip as a carry-on because I had so much extra stuff.
The duffle bag was also supper light weight. I think sometimes we buy travel items and forget to account for their weight, because every bit of extra weight in a full bag is back-breaking after a full day of travel.
Benefits of the Bitty Carry-All bag
- Great weekend bag
- Light weight
- Packable as an extra bag in a suitcase for the return flight
- Fits in the overhead compartment
- Fits on the floor in an airline seat
- Clear interior pockets
- Tablet/book sleeve on the outside
- Interior Mesh pocket to hold shoes or a water bottle
- Organizing labels
- Zipable trolley pocket that converts to a regular pocket
- Loops on either side to add a longer strap or strap on accessories, toys, anything you want
- Velcro Interior pocket to organize inside
I used the bag on my flight home and wanted to take pictures, but our flight was delayed by 20 minutes, and the captain wanted everyone in their seats ASAP so he could make up time in the air. So the flight attendant was rushing everyone.
The inside of the bag has plenty of room, and you can honestly pack multiple days’ worth of clothing. Especially if you use my roll method.
Bitty Green Co. truly is a travel bag made for parents, and I am grateful to have met the CEO and learned all about this awesome product. I think they are perfect nesting gifts for moms, must-have parent staples, and bags that will grow along with your family and beyond.
