The key new parent essential many real moms say they didn’t realize they needed? A diaper bag backpack. But finding cute diaper bags that fit all of baby’s gear can be a challenge—especially for busy parents who don’t have a lot of time to shop for diaper bags that match their lifestyle and personality.
What makes a diaper bag the right baby bag for you? A roomy interior, plenty of pockets, sturdy, easy to clean materials and lots of extras—from changing pads and stroller straps to baby accessories like pacifier holders—top the list of functional features to look for. But don’t forget style. Whether you’re a fashion first kind of mom or more laid-back, below are 6 of the best diaper bags and diaper backpack options to grab for yourself or gift to a new mom.
The Greenwich Vari: For The Boho Chic
Live in jeans, but like to look polished? The newest diaper backpack in our Greenwich Diaper Bag Collection combines a laidback vibe (check out the tassel) with a wear-with-everything toffee brown hue. The soft vegan leather is luxe, yet easily wipes clean, while the changing pad pocket can fit a laptop for daycare drop-off to meetings with the boss versatility. Sling it over your shoulder & go!
The Forma: For The Neat Freak
The Forma is one of our best-selling diaper bag backpacks for a reason: two handy packing cubes and an easy-access opening make it a cinch to keep everything organized and in reach. From the cool quilted detail to the great color selection (we just added mauve to the lineup), this is built to last. “I’ve had it for 6 years! It’s fantastic!” wrote California mom @Emmers85 in her five-star review.
The Mainframe: For The Sporty Cool
Running from mommy and me yoga to baby gymnastics to soccer practice? Our Mainframe Diaper Backpack has a genius wide frame top that snaps open (and stays put), so it’s super-easy to pack and grab what you need quickly. The streamlined shape fits a ton without looking like a bulky baby bag, too. “Incredibly stylish. People wouldn’t even guess it’s a diaper bag!” wrote New Yorker @smalltimefrenchfry in her five-star review.
The Evermore: For The Style Obsessed
“Beyond chic and classic,” is how one of our fave mom influencers describes our Evermore 6-in-1 Diaper Backpack. Luxe vegan leather means it’s easy to wipe away baby’s oopsies, while the sleek shape pivots seamlessly into life beyond baby. Even better? It’s packed with accessories, including a wristlet pouch, sanitizer holder and changing pad. “The design is beautiful and the straps are really comfortable,” wrote Los Angeles mom @CJ1982 in her five-star review.
Duo Weekender: For The Traveler
Packing up baby for a family getaway or trips to Grandma’s can be daunting, but our Duo Weekender makes it so much easier. Perfectly sized to hold baby’s clothes and gear for overnight trips, it comes with two packing cubes for easy organization and a luggage sleeve that slips right over your rolling suitcase handle. We also love it as a baby hospital bag or mommy bag to fill with essentials for bringing your newborn home.
Pronto® Changing Station: For The Pared-Down
Okay, we know it’s technically not a diaper bag, but our Pronto Signature Changing Station turns any bag into a diaper bag. Perfect for parents who don’t want to carry everything but the kitchen sink, or just need to travel light, this handy parenting lifesaver holds diapers, wipes, and more—plus it unfolds to a changing pad for on-the-spot diaper duty.
