Having a baby means that you need to be ready to act fast in all kinds of situations. Be it that you need to feed your little one or change its diapers, you need to be prepared and ready. If your baby is going with you, you need to carry all those essential things with you. For that, you need a good diaper bag that will hold all these items and make your life easier!
We will review some of our favorite bags and list some of their main features. Now let’s talk about what do you need to look for in a good diaper bag!

A short Diaper Bag Buying Guide

Why are you getting one?
It would be best if you asked yourselves, how will you be using the bag. Will it be a more extended trip or just a stroll through the park? Do you need it for one occasion, or will you be using it regularly? Maybe a smaller tote bag where you could hold a few diapers and a bottle will suffice, or perhaps you have multiple kids, and you need a big bag with numerous compartments and also some space for your things.
Size
As mentioned, you need to plan and be sure that all can fit in the bag. Remember that not only diapers, bottles or clothes will fit in the pocket, but also your wallet, sunglasses, or any other items.
Type of Bag
According to the people at babybottles.com, the main question is, how do you want to carry the bag. Choose what fits your style of parenting: a smaller tote bag, a messenger bag, or a backpack. We frankly suggest the third option as the most versatile one as it gives you free hands, and that can be very useful when handling a child. There are even convertible ones that can switch from option to option!
Next to this, all bags are not unisex; there are male and female bags, so also have that in mind when purchasing one. Getting a unisex one is probably the best bet. One more thing to think about is, can you attach the bag to your stroller, and will it be practical for you.
Note how the bag is closing and how durable it is. You want something designed with longevity in mind, and you want one that is made out of anti-stain materials. Waterproof fabrics will also be a significant benefit. Interestingly enough, some of these bags even have warranties!
With that, let’s talk about some of our favorites!
1. RUVALINO Multifunction

A stylish unisex choice is suitable for moms and dads! It’s part of a neutral collection by Ruvalino! This option will be a great addition to your wardrobe, and it will prove itself very convenient. It has two big compartments with 16 pockets! We like how much space there is, and this one even comes with an insulated baby bottle holder to keep that milk warm.
Things we liked:
- Not bulky
- It looks very cool, a truly stylish option
- Great side pockets
- Excellent straps
- 3-month warranty
- Comes with a waterproof changing pad
2. Upsimples Baby Bags

Another unisex option that we liked from the get-go, for how it looks! This one even has a USB charging port with an ant-thief pocket for your phone. So they did think of everything. Antifriction Oxford fabric makes it super lightweight, and of course, it is waterproof. The specifications boast a 25L capacity, which sounds impressive, and it is impressive. In this one, you will get 11 pockets for your things!
Things we liked:
- Two waterproof pockets where you can put your wet or dirty clothes
- The charging port is a cool idea
- Three insulated pockets to keep milk warm
- We also really liked the shoulder pads as they are super comfy and soft
3. HaloVa Diaper Bag

This HaloVa looks like a high-end bag, in our opinion. It has a 24L capacity with five interior pockets! It has separate aluminum pockets that will keep your bottles warm, and what we liked about this one was the L shaped opening in the back. With this zipper, you can take items from the end of the bag. You don’t have to open it on the front! That is tho, more of a mom bag than a dad bag!
Things we liked:
- The high-end look and style
- The coral/orange color scheme is super cute
- Full refund option in 3 months, and replacement within three years
- The L shaped zipper in the back! So handy!
4. Bamomby Multi-Function

Baby will give you all you need in a bag in a very stylish package. That is also part of a neutral collection, but we do think that you need to be a cool looking dad to rock something like this. It looks like a fancy backpack, but it won’t fail you as a diaper bag. It has 16 pockets, including one for a laptop and three insulated pockets! Oxford fabric and waterproof!
Things we liked:
- The size! We think it’s a perfect size, really
- Good design can look cool with any outfit we think
- Very comfortable to carry around
- It has some great stroller straps
5. Hodar Diaper Bag Backpack

We had to include this one, just for the floral pattern! Hodar seems to be an emerging player in the diaper bag game, and this bag is one of the low vital options! From what we saw, we see that this one is suitable for traveling for daily use. This one also comes with a USB port and an Ipad compartment. It also can be a tote bag!
Things we liked:
- THE FLORAL design is everything that we wanted
- It comes with an extra wet cloth bag in which you can store dirty diapers or wet items
- We loved the robust handle
- The tote bag transformation makes it not just a diaper bag, but a very stylish bag for everyday use
These were some of our favorites and the ones we had our hands-on! We hope that you got some basics of what features you should look for in a diaper bag! So think in advance and good luck with picking out one!
