Diaper Bags Can Reflect Your Personality - and Baby's Too!

Mothers need diaper bags; but the question is, which do you choose? When choosing baby bags, you can go for stylish, functional, green, handmade, character, plain, posh, trendy, classic - the choices are endless!

How do you ever decide?

I think it's fun to shop around and see what's out there - you might find a fun way to express yoursself and your love for your little one. Or, you might find something that expresses baby's uniqueness, which is sweet and cool, too. Either way, no matter what you style, your baby bag is an extention of you and your little one, so make a statement ;-)

 

Moms Speak: Do You Go For Fashion or Function? 

If you had to choose, would you prefer the more stylish or the more utilitarian diaper bag?

Style - You're only a baby once, so your bag should be posh!

Gandree says:

Assuming the stylish one is functional too, go with style. You are going to be carrying it for a while.

LesKremer says:

stylish and something I can put my stuff in too=-)

Tiddledeewinks says:

It does need style, after all you carry it with you like a fashion accessory!

Function - I'm not here for a fashion show; I've got diapers to change!

TheCandleGal says:

I am all about FUNCTION. While cuteness is a HUGE bonus, I need something that's going to work well for me most of all.

Tiddledeewinks says:

I'm past diapering days, but this is a tough choice because you need a bag to function for what it was intended to, but at the same time not to be ugly. I say both!

 

Classic Baby Bags 

Traditional blue and pink diaper bags never go out of style. They're simple and streamlined - you throw it over your shoulder and go!

NOTE: classic style diaper bags are easier for dads to pull off without feeling a machismo deficiency :-)

Famous baby brands like Graco and Carter's always have classic styles.

Author's Note: Classic styles work best with classic personalities. I personally felt a little inhibited by my classic diaper bag when Israel was born, but I was younger and much more bubbly then. However, I wouldn't want my mom carrying anything too trendy because, well, I think it would look a little silly on her ;-P


Trendy Diaper Bags - Messenger 

Who doesn't love a messenger bag?

It's a hip, trendy mix of casual and uptown business chic. If that's your style in your day-to-day, why not express that kind of style as a mom, too?

These trendy baby bags come in as many colors as you can think of, especially themes with brown accents. VERY fashionable!

Author's Note: Messenger bag design eliminates the need for an additional handbag if you pack light! Fashion and minimalism can come together for a stylish (and convenient) balance.


Trendy Baby Bags - Leather 

Posh meets function! You don't need to carry a separate handbag if your diaper bag is made of leather!

Whether you're a corporate mom or a certified fashionista, leather baby bags are a step above in terms of style. They also stay cleaner and last longer because they're made from durable, quality material. How cool is that?

Author's Note: If you're not sure that you want to invest in a leather diaper bag, consider the lasting power and how much mileage you're going to put on it. If you are planning to have more children but you don't want to buy a new diaper bag every time, it may be more cost efficient to go ahead and get the leather bag you want.


Celebrity Baby Bag - Angelina Jolie 

As seen on Angelina Jolie in People Magazine, the Storksak "Emily" in black is a must have!

However, if you want to be celebrity chic but just a little different, they come in other colors - Pewter and Chocolate.

Everyone is Hollywood is wearing this bag! It's amazing - the "Maria" in Tangerine is donned by celebrities such as Regina King, Anne Heche, Tina Fey, Nancy O'Dell, Joely Fisher, CCH Pounder, and Jennifer Hudson. Obviously, many celebs carry it as a purse, but it's the "It" baby bag with the stars!

Designer Baby Bags 

Some of your favorite designers carry diaper bags, too! Trend setter moms don't have to miss a beat. What a treat when your signature style can be complimented by baby's accessories!

Author's Note: The following bags are examples from Coach, Eddie Bauer, Gucci, Kate Spade, and Tommy Hilfiger. FYI, the Hilfiger bags are loud and luscious!

Utilitarian Baby Bags - Pure Function 

No frills, no fuss - some parents like features more than fashion in a diaper bag. Go as simple as a black tote, get organized with Eddie Bauer, or as advanced as a thermal-insulated diaper bag made by Thermos - it's all up to you!

Baby Bags For Men 

Brands like Diaper Dude and Dad Gear provide diaper bags for dads! No more cringing at the thought of the frilly, cutesy diaper bag mom picked out on your shoulder.

Dads can express their style, too!


Green/Eco-Friendly Baby Bags 

When moms and kids go green, diaper bags should, too! There is an emerging demand for eco-friendly baby products, and baby bags are no exception. Organic cotton is a popular choice of material for modern eco-moms.

However, a company called Fleurville offers something useful and unique that you may not have heard of - a material called "Re-run" that is made totally of recylced water bottles! How cool is that! Buy a Re-run diaper bag and keep more plastic out of landfills.

Sweet.

I'm way past needing a diaper bag but my daughter has managed to find one she likes that works and has style. It's nice to have something that stands out from the other bags in the church nursery.

Great lens. You have a big variety of bags here for moms and moms-to-be to choose from. I've been making "portable diaper changing stations" from a pattern I got at http://portadiaper.com -- works like a diaper bag, but for a few things when you're not really travelling far, but would need to change the baby.

Good information. Thanks. Five stars for all the information!

I no longer carry a baby bag because my youngest is 2. However, I did have a blue camo bag from SkipHop which I loved! But then again, I love any type of bag and like to change it up.
