Chick Picks: The Best Diaper Bags
by Nina Spears
The Baby Chickshares
There are so many things that you have to get and register for when preparing for baby. A crib, a mattress, swaddles, a stroller, diapers, wipes; the list goes on and on. Though it can be a lot of fun getting things ready for baby, it’s also a lot of research. It can take many hours to figure out what is the best diaper bag for your budget, lifestyle, and personal style. This is why I have decided to come up with lists of my favorite products in different categories to help do the research for you! I’m calling them my “Chick Picks.”
To start, I wanted to pick something that was just for mom. This time in your life is all about baby and it should be! But I feel that mama deserves a little something too. 😉 I mean, you are carrying and giving birth to this little miracle. Though there aren’t very many things that are super exciting to buy for mom at this point (like nipple cream and a good nursing bra–needed, but not the most exciting), a cute diaper bag is definitely a fun one! 🙂 The problem is there are SO. MANY. OPTIONS! There are messenger bags, shoulder bags, backpacks, and more. You have to look to see if it has:
- an insulated bottle holder
- a portable changing mat
- lining for spills
- a zipper for valuables
- how many pockets it has
- how roomy it is
- an overall style that fits your aesthetic
Finding the perfect diaper bag can be tough, but I’ve done all the research for you and have found my absolute favorites–our Chick Picks! Here are our Chick Picks for the best diaper bags on the market.
Skip Hop Greenwich Backpacks
Thre Greenwich Backpacks from Skip Hop offer affordable luxury and ultimate practicality all wrapped up in a super chic vegan leather backpack. They wipe clean and feature amazing pockets for organizing all the things. Go for the Simply Chic diaper bag backpack with faux-suede detailing or opt for the Convertible diaper bag that can be worn as a crossbody or a backpack.
Lily Jade Caroline Bag
The Caroline bag from Lily Jade is gorgeous and lightweight, made from vegan leather with enhanced durability. The liner is stain and water-resistant since we all know accidents happen! This bag is incredibly user friendly and can be used as a backpack with ergonomic, padded back straps that can be zipped into the bag so it can be carried as a classic tote, as well.
Itsy Ritzy Crossbody Diaper Bag
This is perfect for the minimalist mom or any mama just trying to go hands-free.

This stylish and organized backpack comes in several fashions: one being an all-black style for a go-with-everything look and another a coffee and cream color palette with fun textiles.

This bag is so easy, simple, and chic.
