18 Best Diaper Bags You Can Buy In 2022

Your diaper bag is probably the most important bag you'll ever need. Why? Because this one's for both you and your baby, and it needs to work equally well for both of your needs. You need something reliable that wards messiness and disorganization away. That said, you likely have a lot going on, and there's not a ton of time to do research on which diaper bag meets all of your needs. 

To make the most accurate and comprehensive list of the best diaper bags, we started by narrowing down the most common needs. For obvious reasons, there are a lot of things people need from their diaper bags, and we wanted to make sure that most people's specific wants were represented. Then we started our research. From sifting through bag descriptions to reviews by actual parents, we were able to pick the bag that best fits each category while still taking price, appearance, and ease of purchase into consideration. We're confident that your and your baby's match made in diaper bag heaven is somewhere on our list.

Not only does this bag have a sleek look and tons of great features, but it's less than $40. It's a backpack, which many of our picks are, because that gives you a little more freedom to use your arms for all the myriad tasks you have to complete when taking care of a little one. This backpack's main pocket opens up super wide so you can see everything you've got inside without things getting lost in the crevices. Who wants to be grabbing around in the bottom of a bag while your baby is crying for their pacifier in the middle of the supermarket? Literally no one. It also has padded straps for comfortable wearability and straps to hang it on your stroller. On top of all of that, it's waterproof.

If you're still wondering if this bag is just a great price but not a great buy, this review says it all: "This diaper bag is designed perfectly. The pockets and compartments are just where you need them. The inside makes it so easy to grab what you need and see/store everything you need for kiddos. I have been through at least 6 different diaper bags, including some of the high end ones, with my multiple children and this bag has been my favorite BY FAR!" We'd trust someone with the experience of many children and 6+ diaper bags any day.

One of the toughest phases of child-rearing is when you have multiple kids of varying ages who all have very different stuff that they need their parent to carry around for them. If you're in this phase, a diaper bag designed for a newborn just isn't going to cut it. One of the features that make this backpack perfect for multiple kids is that it has two separate main compartments. This means that you can keep your kids' stuff separated and organized. It has a whopping total of 18 different compartments plus a changing mat. It's also reinforced for comfort, so even though you're carrying all your kids' stuff on your back, you won't feel like you are.

One reviewer says, "This diaper bag is awesome. It can hold everything I need for my [two] boys. I love that it has several quick access pockets. I can organize all my stuff really well. There's definitely plenty of room. The bag is really cute and seems super well made. I've noticed that the zippers are really smooth. The back and the straps are well padded so it is easy to carry. And the bag is just cute! And it doesn't scream diaper bag. The bottle pockets on the side are generous and fit my sons' fatter water bottles/sippy cups."

Just because you have diapers and baby wipes to lug around doesn't mean you always want to look like you're lugging diapers and baby wipes around. We all know that there are diaper bags that look like diaper bags, and you know what's inside one of those bags the second you see it. Still, most new mamas still want to feel like themselves and wear a cute outfit without ruining the whole look with a bag covered in pink unicorns. For these reasons and more, we are in love with this diaper clutch from Petunia Pickle Bottom.

This bag is super cute and neutral, and you'd never know that it's a diaper bag just by looking at it. At the same time, this pick doesn't compromise on anything you'd want from your diaper bag. It's got two outside pockets that are easy to grab your phone and wallet from, as well as a spacious main pocket for all of baby's belongings. It even has a foldout changing pad for on-the-go diaper duty.

One review said, "Wow- this thing is absolutely amazing... This will now be my go to for the majority of our outings (which are usually short). It can hold the essentials- a couple diapers, wipes, a bottle if you need one, a small burp rag, hand sanitizer, etc. it's so chic I just love it!! So happy!"

If you're always on-the-go or like to take baby with you on trips, hikes, or long afternoons outdoors, you need a bag that you can take on any and all adventures with you. This backpack is by Columbia, and since we know that this company is all about sportswear and gear for the outdoorsy among us, of course their diaper bag is going to be fit for the parent who found themselves relating most to Sporty Spice when watching "Spiceworld" in their youth.

This backpack has everything you'd want in a bag that's going to spend a lot of time outdoors. It's super easy to clean inside and out, has padded and adjustable straps, and protects its contents from the outside temperature. Plus, one reviewer calls it a "great diaper bag for men," so dads who love to stay active are sure to love this diaper bag that looks more like an adventurer's backpack than a bag made to store sippy cups.

Sometimes parents need to carry a ton of stuff for their kids, but other times, they love the idea of being hands-free and bringing along nothing but the essentials. For times like those, we have the world's most perfect diaper bag. 

This belt bag by KIBOU can be worn around your waist like a classic fanny pack or worn over your shoulder; either way, you're hands free. This bag may seem small, and it certainly feels small to wear, but it actually has a pocket with a changing pad and another waterproof pocket that can hold over twenty baby wipes. The bag itself is also waterproof, and there are card slots inside, so you can leave your wallet at home. There's even a ring inside to keep your baby's pacifier always within reach. The bag comes in five neutral shades, so it'll blend in like a regular bag no matter what you're wearing.

One review calls this bag a "game changer" and says, "I purchased this a few months ago and haven't been happier with a baby purchase! I use it all the time with (and without) my 1-year-old. It's super convenient for outings where you don't have your stroller with you. Having everything right there when trying to wrangle a baby on a bathroom changing table makes this a lifesaver. I liked it so much I bought one for my friend!"

When your baby isn't really a baby anymore, their needs change pretty drastically. Gone are the days of needing burp cloths and bottles, and now, there could be tears if you didn't pack that Peppa Pig action figure and Paw Patrol sippy cup. You need a bag that grows with you and your baby as you venture into those terrific twos. This boxy backpack from Petunia Pickle Bottom is perfect for the toddler stage. To start, we love the look of this bag; just like you and your little one, it's a bit more grown up and sophisticated. It can convert from backpack to shoulder bag to crossbody to meet any need. Plus, it has tons of different colors to choose from –- from multiple neutral colors to cute prints.

This bag has tons of rave reviews, but this one says it all: "Well, let me tell you, this bag is perfect. The material is really nice, the straps are thick and you can tell they're of a high quality. There are a few different compartments, and certainly enough room to store everything you need for your child (even for multiple kids). I love that this doesn't look like a typical diaper bag. I'd feel okay carrying this around with just about anything in it!... As a mom you need all the hand, arm, and hip space as your body offers! I would absolutely recommend this bag to anyone, whether you're looking for yourself for your new baby, shopping for a gift for someone else, or just looking to upgrade bags."

Plenty of bags on our list are good choices regardless of your or your baby's gender, but this bag is unique in that it really doesn't make any sort of fashion statement. But even though it doesn't draw attention, this bag really does it all. Its exterior has a place to hang your keys, a baby wipe pocket, and even a removable pouch that can be used as a fanny pack. It also has straps to hang it on the stroller, a fold-out changing spot, and even a pouch that's entirely smell-proof for — well, we don't have to say it, do we?

One review says, "Love Love Love my diaper bag. I [no] longer have to figure where I'll put all of my babies items. I even can fit some of my belongings in there as well. The diaper mat is my favorite part of the bag. Picnics or outdoor events it's so easy to just pull out the mat and change her without wondering where a good place will be. If you're a new mom I highly recommend this bag it'll take a load of worrying off of your plate." A diaper bag that can take some worrying off your plate will leave you a lot more room for making memories with your little one; no matter what we're looking for in our bag, we can all get behind that.
