Believe your eyes because this magical bag comes complete with its own structured yet foldable crib. It brings a whole new meaning to a versatile bag.

But truly, the unique addition is icing on the cake to all the pockets (including insulated ones) and compartments (16 total) that essentially allow you to comfortably carry everything you need on your back.

Helpful review: “As a single father, you come across several places that just ignore the fact that men can change their kids too. This bag has made it so that I’m not dependent on changing rooms or tables to be available. I am very happy with this purchase. And the bag has a lot of room and compartments. Excellent buy!”

This vegan leather diaper bag won’t cramp your style because, let’s be honest, it’s super stylish. But as chic as it is on the outside, it’s definitely designed with smart features for a diaper bag, starting with a wide zippered opening for easy access to everything.

Helpful review: “I’ve had a few diaper bags […] but haven’t really been satisfied until now. I needed a bigger option for travel and came across this one. It’s HUGE and GORGEOUS. It’s so nice looking that I had a lady stop me in the airport to compliment it and ask for the link. She wanted to know if it was marketed as a diaper bag because it doesn’t scream ‘diaper bag’ by simply looking at it. […] It’s also COMFORTABLE. The padded, adjustable straps make it super easy to wear, even when it’s heavy from being packed to the brim. […] All in all I highly recommend!!”

This classic backpack appears totally minimal on the outside, but it gets the job done on the inside. With over 12 pockets, including a laptop sleeve and anti-theft compartments plus zipper access through the back, you’re looking at a highly functional bag. One of our favorite features? The wet/dry pocket so you can keep soiled clothes/wipes/bibs etc. separate without asking the flight attendant for a baggie and then stuffing it in there with everything else — not that that would ever happen to you.

Helpful review: “Love this backpack! Was looking for a diaper bag for traveling and this one is perfect! Very comfortable to wear and has plenty of room for everything baby needs while traveling.”

If there’s one thing to add to your Amazon cart list last-minute before you jet (or drive) off, it’s these disposable bags. Handy for more than just diapers, you’ll be thankful you snagged them when spills and accidents occur. They seal in liquid and odor so your entire bag (or plane or car) isn’t subjected to any lingering effects. From one mother to another, just grab ‘em.

Helpful review: “These mask the smell of whatever it is you need to put inside. I have used these with all three of my kids’ dirty diapers, at the dog park, in the car, and in the bathroom! SO many come in one bag so you don’t have to purchase too often. These are a staple in my household.”

Yep, even though your diaper bag already has hella pockets, this pouch set is so nice to have for organizing the main compartment. These three clear bags in TSA-approved sizes make it easy to see what’s inside, and they’ll give you the ability to grab and go with what you need. Here’s what you do: fill one with toys, another with snacks, and another with backup clothes — or in whatever groupings make sense to you — and then with one swift move, you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for.

Helpful review: “These have been a game changer for me. I’m a new mom and I felt really frazzled trying to find stuff in the diaper bag and stuff in the pool bag. So many bags. Now I have a little sunscreen pouch and a snack pouch and a little on the go toy pouch and life got easier. If you’re going to a baby shower, throw these in as an extra little gift because they will get so much use!”

Loop this pacifier holder around the strap of your travel diaper bag, and you can keep two clean binkies ready to go. It’s made of soft, food-grade silicone, and when it’s time to wash it, just turn it inside out and place it on the top rack of your dishwasher.

Helpful review: “These easily holds 3 pacifiers, which is super awesome. I love how easy it is to attach it to whatever I need. I have it attached to my diaper caddy by my bed but have used it on my diaper bag as well when traveling. I was worried fuzz and dust might stick to it but it really doesn’t. When it does get dirty though it’s super easy to clean.”
