If you are a new mom or expecting a baby soon, a quality diaper bag is a must have item. Diaper bags are your control center as a mom. They hold everything you need when you are on the go with your baby, which can add up to a lot of stuff! From diapers and portable breast pumps to wipes, bottles, snacks and everything in between, your diaper bag holds all of the essentials. This means they can get messy quickly, and without good organization it can become a huge hassle when you are looking for something you need. With all of the extra pockets and space that parents need, diaper bags tend to be bulky and not so fun to carry around.
What if you were able to get a diaper bag that has tons of storage space, easy to organize pockets and compartments, and even accessories like changing pads and wet bags, but still with a touch of style to go along with it? These days, major brands like Kate Spade, Michael Kors and other leading designers have put out designer diaper bags for fashionable moms that want to stay stylish while going around town with their baby.
This list contains our top picks for the best designer diaper bags of 2017. These bags are high quality, super organized and stylish enough that they may get mistaken for a large purse. Best of all, there is a bag for every sized budget as well. They would make a great gift for any new mom, too!
