10 Cool Alternatives for Not-So-Obvious Diaper Bags
Diaper bags serve a very utilitarian purpose. They hold bottles, diapers, changing pads and wipes. But to take a cue from Blake Lively, not all things maternity need to be so… matronly. Admittedly, there are some pretty swank diaper bags out there, if having the fully-compartmentalized deal is your jam. However, if you’re looking for an investment that can pull double duty as a bag for baby and mommy, then these 10 options may get you on the bandwagon for ditching the traditional baby carryall.
1. Baggu Duck Bag ($26): Channel your inner French girl style with this everyday tote that’s big enough to carry all the baby’s essentials without adding extra bulk.
2. Storq Carryall ($115): Still into the idea of a traditional diaper bag but sick of totes? Get this true diaper bag that looks nothing like a diaper bag. With tons of compartments to keep each bottle, diaper and toy separated, and a water-repellent canvas exterior (plus a few more handy features), this backpack and stroller bag has a little something for every kind of mama (and papa).
3. Fjallraven Totepack No.2 ($175): Carry this bag as a tote or backpack; either way, you’ll be keeping all of baby’s things stylishly on hand. Added bonus: This tote is also a great laptop bag if you need an option that can go from daycare to work.
