Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Gucci and Marc Jacobs. What’s one thing you didn’t know they all have in common? They make diaper bags? WTH? Who wants to put their kids dirty used up stinkified diapers in a bag that costs more than their mortgage payment? Not me, err not that I’m in the market for a diaper bag at the moment! But this did get me thinking. Someone I love dearly is having a babe at any moment, ANY MOMENT!! So why shouldn’t she have a sweet, stylish bag to carry around as she totes her bundle of love…and all the extra crap that baby needs to and fro.
Here are my Top 5 Picks for a diaper bag that won’t break the bank (or leave you looking as frumpy as you feel those first few weeks after that little blessing arrives.)
#1. The Charlie 7 Piece Diaper Bag Set by timi and leslie
Designed with a fashion-toward mother in mind, this ultra-stylish, PVC-free, faux leather diaper bag is fitted with an endless number of functional and fashionable accessories to ensure you have everything you need on-the-go. Available on-line at Indigo. Retails for $199.99 Picture courtesy of Indigo
This more casual navy striped bag features multiple interior and exterior pockets, an insulated bottle holder that keeps bottles warm or cool for up to 4 hours, a padded change mat, and built in stroller clips, it looks to be stylish and practical! Also available at Indigo and retails for $130.00. Picture courtesy of Indigo.
#3 Petunia Pickle Bottom Downtown Tote
For something a little out of the ordinary the popular Petunia Pickle Bottom bags are available in a variety of patterns. This versatile, modern bag that travels from the city to the shore, and from baby to beyond. Can’t you just see yourself using this right through the toddler years? I found this one on sale at the cute Cheeky Monkey boutique for only $82.50. Picture courtesy of the Cheeky Monkey.
#4 The Oemi Baby Bag in Grey
So stylish people will be asking you where you found it! This perfect alternative to the traditional diaper bag can be purchased on-line at Cheeky Monkey and can be purchased on sale right now for $236.00. Is it wrong that I could see myself carrying this one as just a regular old purse?
5. Carter’s Out ‘n About Tote Diaper Bag – Black
It’s hard to beat the price point of this diaper bag from Babies “R” Us! At only $69.99, the Carter’s Out’n About Tote is a great find. This black tote has a designer handbag feel, with its printed lining, matte hardware, and zipper accents, with all the extras you need in a diaper bag. The spacious main compartment holds clothes, diapers, wipes, and more, and 12 pockets make it easy to organize and find your essentials. The bag comes with stroller loops, a removable changing pad, and even a key FOB so you can always locate your keys! Picture courtesy of Toys R Us.
So what do you look for in a Diaper Bag, more importantly, which one would you buy for the Mama to be in your life?
What super diaper bags, I didn’t know that there were such beautiful ones out there – there certainly weren’t when I needed one years and years ago, mine was actually just a cloth shopping bag. Guess that’s progress eh?
These are some really nice diaper bags. I think that I would have been too hard on them, though :).
The choices out there are amazing! And the included items I wish I had when they were babies.
It is quite the up scale on diaper bags then when I had them
They are all great. I would actually use the Carter’s Out’n About Tote as a purse…lol!
Love “The Charlie” would be perfect for that special person to pick her up and make her feel special. 😊
I like the carters out and about bag!! My goodness things have changed since my last. I’m reusing my Winnie the Pooh dialer bag again 😀
I really love the pink one but love them all, I wish I knew they had those when my little ones were growing up , very cute and stylish
I was kind of a diaper bag snob, in that I never used an actual diaper bag. I always bought a large designer bag like Coach or Dooney & Bourke. I carried that thing every day for like 2 years…I wanted it to look good! (And they’ve held up nice enough that I use them still, for things like airline travel, when I need to carry a lot of stuff!) Don’t knock a good bag!!! 😉
omg really !! only $69.99 that is not bad at all!! LOVE the Carter’s Out ‘n About Tote Diaper Bag
Number one is my fav
I like #2 and #3…….
Those bags are awesome ! You would never be able to tell they were a diaper bag !
Those are diaper bags?! Wow so stylish. Personally I would go with the The Oemi Baby Bag in Grey. And did you know LV has a diaper bag too?!
I pass no judgement – I have often thought diaper bags would make amazing purses for their size and compartments! 🙂
