It includes two side pockets that fit large water bottles and is great for coffee tumblers, bottles, and sippy cups! The bag also converts into a backpack and allows you to be hands-free throughout the day with your baby. On the inside of the bag, there are six pockets that allow you to pack all you need for your baby, and yourself! The two leather-trimmed pockets on the inside are perfect for diapers and wipes, and the elastic pockets are great for any lotions, bottles, and other little things you and your baby may need throughout the day.

What sets the Ara apart is its versatility, as it comes with both a wristlet and crossbody strap, making it easy to carry in a variety of ways. One of the best things about the Ara is its compact size, which allows it to fit seamlessly inside the Gemini while you're out and about. This makes it easy to grab quickly when running errands or when you only need to carry a few essential items with you. And let's not forget the aesthetic appeal of a matching set!
