Let’s be honest; almost any roomy tote, satchel, or duffel bag can be used as a diaper bag. But the best diaper bag is like the utility pant of the tote, designed for busy parenting. Functionality is key in all diaper bags, from designer iterations to beloved baby brands. Key features include a built-in changing pad, organizer and ample pockets to keep you well stocked and organized on the go. The best styles are usually made from lightweight and clean fabrics – easy to wipe and wash. As cute as babies may be, they’re always messy, which makes nylon, neoprene, coated canvas, and vented mesh panels the most ideal forms of diaper bag.
Durability is the main feature when looking for a stylish diaper bag. Not only has it to withstand the wear and tear of transit or the outdoor elements, but the sheer weight of your carry-on baby items like diapers, wipes, burp cloths and bottles can add up to a lot. Considering other soothing and feeding essentials like a portable white noise machine, bottle warmer, pacifiers, stuffed animals, and a change or two of laundry (again, dirty), you’ll be carrying a lot with you. Let’s not forget the pumping equipment and the many odds and ends that go with it.
All of this makes the choice of outline important too. For example, are you usually a tote bag carrier? Perhaps, instead, you prefer the hands-free convenience of a backpack, or a sporty-chic duffle bag or utility messenger bag that can be carried via the cross-body strap. Whatever your preference, the best diaper bags will optimize comfort with soft, padded shoulder straps, many of which can be converted to carry in a variety of ways, including slinging your bag in a pram or Keep it upright in the car.
