Be Prepared for Everything

For many new parents, there is an evolution of diaper bags. Often we start with a cute and stylish bag. Then we quickly realize that a diaper bag is an essential piece of equipment and a bag that is just "cute" doesn’t cut it. You need pockets — plenty of them — to hold all the things you may or may not need on every outing with your little one. You need a bag that is durable and can be tossed in the stroller, shoved in your car, and stashed under a park bench at the playground. You need a bag that you can grab and go — so skip the crossbody bag and instead, go hands-free with a backpack diaper bag.

We’ve rounded up a few of our favorites for you to add to your registry or to give as a gift to yourself.
