Boring Diaper Bags - As Bad As Mom Jeans?

Kalencom Traveler Quilted Diaper BagLet’s face it, there’s a plethora of boring diaper bags out there. Want something plain in pastel pink or blue? You’ve got a ton of choices. But who wants to carry a bag that screams “I gave up on fashion when I had kids”? Not me. You might as well buy yourself a set of mom jeans if you’re going to go down that path. And that’s why I’ve got my eye on some truly stylish diaper bags that look more like handbags than baby bags.

The nice thing about these bags is that you don’t have to spend a fortune to get style. For instance, the Kalencom Traveler Quilted bag is less than $100. And for that price you get not only the standard items such as multiple Liz Lange Cherie Diaper Bagpockets, stroller straps, changing pad, and bottle tote, but also a beautiful bag that can be used even after you’re no longer carrying around diapers and bottles.

If diaper totes are your bag (pun intended), then check out our newest diaper bag brand - Liz Lange. The Liz Lange Cherie’s clean lines make the bag truly chic. It also includes everything you’ve come to expect from diaper bags including bottle tote, change pad, pockets, and even a matching clutch. And while you might expect to pay upwards of $300 for the bag, right now it’s on sale for under $150.

Bisadora Lime Green Geometric Print Baby Bag ToteIf you’re hoping to spend less, perhaps the Bisadora Lime Green Geometric Print Baby Bag Tote is for you. It’s under $50 right now. The bright lime green color will keep you feeling and looking cheery even in the middle of winter. This is another bag that can be used even beyond baby for things like travel and errands. This bag is ideal for older babies and toddlers as it is a bit smaller than other standard bags.

Diaper Bags with Style

Today’s diaper bags are not your Mama’s bag. They have come a long way, baby! Someone may offer you one of those old no-frills diaper bags; don’t take it! You and baby will be using your diaper bag daily for months. You won’t go anywhere without it and it will be part of your image as mom and child. It makes sense to choose a fashionable diaper bag that reflects your style and meets your needs. Here are a few types of modern diaper bags favored by savvy new moms and dads:

  • Diaper tote bags are similar to designer tote bags, standing upright with handles/shoulder straps.
  • OiOi Pansy Backpack

  • Backpack diaper bags work like any other backpack and are great when you already have both hands full with baby, stroller and possibly brother or sister.
  • Messenger diaper bags are reminiscent of those spiffy bags carried by messengers and couriers zipping around town delivering vital documents from office to office. They feature one wide, long strap that can be slung across the body or worn over one shoulder along the back. Weight is distributed evenly. Hands stay free and the bag is easy to open and access.

Within these types of diaper bags are a myriad of choices of fabrics, styles and brands. There are canvas, cotton, microfiber, nylon, suede and leather diaper bags.
