Best Diaper Bag Reviews 2023

Let’s start off with the reality of things – you can get a budget diaper bag for under $20, and a good quality one for around $30. This is one time when we didn’t choose our short list based upon the price tag in comparison to other diaper bags.

For this review we are looking at diaper bags that will outlast the time that you need to use it for your baby AND you will still love it enough to keep on using it, but now it will be full of all your stuff! Because of this, you need to view the price in comparison to a really good back pack, purse or computer bag.

Today's higher-end diaper bags come with a plethora of features and options that will prove useful in the long run. For example, you can find baby bags with built in changing pads and wipe dispensers. Others have insulated pockets that will keep baby bottles at the perfect temperature. In a similar fashion, you will find baby bags in our list that can convert to a stroller bag. Various features make a diaper bag more sophisticated and practical, so make sure that you keep an eye on the "features" section of each product.

The first thing to think about when choosing a diaper bag is the type or design style. Do you want one that can be carried across your shoulder? If so, you are going to need one with a longer strap – otherwise you will only be able to carry it over your shoulder. Or maybe you want a back pack or satchel style back pack. The bags on our top 5 best list all have a stylish design so that they don’t even look like “diaper bags.”

Once you know what kind of diaper bag you want, it’s time to look at size, compartments and organizational features. The last thing you want to be doing when you have a hungry baby or one with a dirty bottom is digging around searching for what you need. Good diaper bags have lots of compartments, are functional and have lots of roomy space. And there are bonus points if it has a spot for your mobile phone too!

Finally, it’s time to take a look at the material that it’s made from. Is it solidly constructed? Will it be durable? Easy to clean? Will it last until it’s your turn to use it?

We already discussed how good, organized storage space is important in a diaper bag. There should be places for diapers, changing pad, creams and powder, bottles, wipes, toys, spare clothes and all the stuff that you need for your baby. But unless you want to be carrying another bag, it should also have spots for things such as your keys, wallet and phone. WOW! That’s a lot of stuff to put into one bag.

You also need to consider how easy the bag is to clean and take care of. This bag is going to go through a lot of abuse, but you want it to keep on looking as good as new.

Finally, since we are looking at multi-functional bags, we will take a look at how different baby bags are designed so that they will be perfect for later. For example, some are large enough to convert over to carry a lap top. Others will be the perfect back pack, tote bag or pocketbook.
