A Diaper Bag For Every Mom

It’s a lot of fun shopping for baby gear these days, but with all of the variety, it can also be overwhelming. I found that particularly true when it came to diaper bags. I’d finally settle on a style, design, and color–but the next time I went out, a different bag would catch my eye and I’d be back to square one. Eventually, I did find a diaper bag that I loved–one that really focused on my individual style and needs. To help make selecting the right diaper bag easier for you, here are 10 standouts that appeal to every kind of mom (and one for dad, too).

For The Budget-Conscious Mom
With plenty of convenient features, the Trend Lab Ultimate Diaper Bag in a variety of colors, offers a lot considering its low price tag.  A large main compartment and several side pouches make it easy to carry everything you need, while insulated pockets at both ends are perfect for storing bottles or food. Magnetic closures keep the side pouches shut, while still allowing quick and easy access.  Like most bags, it comes with a changing pad, but also includes a wet bag to store dirty diapers or clothes.

For The Green Mom
Handmade in Paris, the Ikabags Stockholm Navy and White French Messenger with an Adjustable Strap is stylish and “green.” It’s made from heavyweight 100% cotton duck canvas (which makes it eco-friendly), so it will stand up to constant use. Which is a good thing, because even though you may originally get it as a diaper bag, the classic style and convenient size mean you can continue using it for other things post-diapers!

For The Traditional Mom
If you’re searching for a bag with a traditional baby look, the Yummy Mummy Apple Tree by Pink Lining is available in several amusing patterns, from “apple tree” to “dragonfly and thistle.”  All feature a cupcake centered on the outside pocket (hence the “yummy” name). Know that you may get a double-take any time you leave the bag open due to the “shocking pink” inner lining! But the bag has everything “mummy” needs, from multiple pockets to a changing pad and wet bag.

For The Mom of Twins
Available in a variety of designs and with plenty of pocket space inside, Ju Ju Be Prepared is great for any mom–and especially moms of twins–who wants to have everything on hand.  Tending to the needs of two babies can be challenging, so it’s convenient to have a main compartment which zips open all the way down each side, eliminating the need to dig.  And then there’s my favorite feature–color-coded tabs, which provide a useful reminder of what stuff belongs to which child.

For The Mom Who Wants A Back-Up Bag
Designed with Giggle’s signature stripes, the Better Basics Striped Pronto! Mini Changer is a perfect second bag for moms-on-the-go who won’t need more than a couple of diapers on any given outing.  It’s vibrant, cheery, and lightweight, which is ideal if you’re just running out to grab a few groceries.

For The Design-Savvy Mom
Having an infant doesn’t mean you have to give up designer accessories. This luxurious Kate Spade NY Stevie Baby Bag with patent leather trim and 14-karat gold-plated hardware is for moms who want the convenience and amenities of a good diaper bag but don’t necessarily want to make it obvious they’re carrying one.

$398, katespade.com

For The Practical Mom
The Skip Hop Duo Deluxe helps keep everything organized with multiple pockets inside and out, including a pair of waterproof, zippered ones that will keep diapers dry even if you get caught in the rain. Shuttle Clips make it easy to attach to any stroller, including Bugaboo/Baby Jogger style handles. A wide selection of patterns provide plenty of style options.

$58-78, skiphop.com

 

 

For The Sporty Mom
Available in black as well as several patterns like a Zoo Cute print,the Le Sportsac Ryan is cute yet functional. Its material makes it easy to clean, and while there’s plenty of room for all of your stuff, the bag is lightweight and easy to carry. It attaches to strollers, too.

$128-138, lesportsac.com

 

 

For The Mom Who Values Versatility
However you get around, the Petunia Pickle Bottom Boxy Backpack has you covered: use it as a backpack to keep your hands free for baby, as a messenger bag so you can easily get things from it, or hang it from your stroller.  The side folds down into a changing station (with a removable pad for washing), and it has everything you need to stay organized, including multiple pockets for diapers, wipes, bottles, and more. A magnetic closure makes it easy to get into without fussing with zippers or Velcro. It comes in a variety of embroidered, brocade, and lace patterns.

$179.99, mbeans.com

 

For Dad
Diaper Dude Black Convertible Despite having all of the functionality of a standard diaper bag, including lots of space and internal compartments to keep things organized, this bag features a no-frills design that appeals to men. Tuck-away straps allow it to be used as a backpack or messenger bag, and it can also be clipped to a stroller.  There is even a checklist of necessary supplies clearly marked on the inside flap so Mom doesn’t have to fret about Dad forgetting anything!
