It's no secret: Moms are busy. They're busy when they're pregnant, busy with newborns, busy working, or busy simply taking care of human beings. The one thing that usually keeps their lives somewhat together through the busyness? Having a diaper bag that fits everything both she and baby need. And one that's cute, too. It's no longer an out-of-touch fantasy for diaper bags to be cute and not look like diaper bags. They can look like regular bags, because honestly, they're less to please baby because mom is the one carrying it around anyway. But diaper bags aren't to be taken lightly: They'll likely be with mom and baby for many years (at least they should), and so they should function in a way that will serve them best. There are tons of diaper bag hacks to make the most out of them, but it's important to get a great bag to start with.
Whether mom is carrying the goods in a bag for one baby, twins, or more, it's important it can hold everything she needs. So what exactly does that look like? Well, at the top of the list is a large, spacious main storage pocket for clothes, changing pads, and perhaps mom's needs, too, like an iPad or laptop. Did we mention pockets for bottles and wipes? Those exist now, and they make life super convenient. Because again, it's 2019 and mom's life shouldn't have to become baby-land just because she's a mom. Mom is still a person, which means getting a bag that is both functional and stylish is a must.
Thankfully, we found 20 bags that do this: bags that speak to mom as a person and her needs as a parent. Baby doesn't quite know what the bags offer, but the kiddo will in some way be sure to appreciate what mom will be able to put in it. Take a look below and see.
