There are so many different diaper bag styles on the market, and let’s be honest many are pretty pricey. I find the best way to make a purchase that carries a hefty price tag a bit easier to stomach is to find ways to extend its life. After two kids and 4 diaper bags later, I realized having a bag that suits my style and has fantastic diaper carrying capabilities is the way to go. Really a diaper bag is more of a kiddo bag — even after your kids are out of diapers, a bag with a ton of pockets and compartments is fantastic for all the extra things a toddler needs. A timeless yet stylish bag that you are proud to carry will probably get more wear, from baby to toddler and maybe even beyond.
Here are a few of my favorite diaper bags that are disguised as stylish bags (some are a bit pricier then others).
No. 1 – A timeless style in a funky print, with all the fantastic diaper changing/packing capabilities it will look like you have a cute little carryall by your side. CoCaLo Couture $149.99
No. 2 – Casual and pretty classic, this bag truly looks like a regular handbag but the inside is packed with pockets and compartments for all your kiddo needs. OiOi $90
No. 3 – This truly looks like an “it” bag, packed with style with tons of great baby/toddler features hidden inside. Timi and Leslie $159.99
No. 4 – This bag is a personal favorite for its style, comfort and it’s packed full of amazing features. It’s by far the priciest of the bunch, but it’s a bag that will be by your side long after your kiddo is out of diapers. Tribe Singapore Sling $500
No. 5 – It’s a little bit funky, but with the classic vintage flair it will go with any outfit and be a timeless accessory for Mom. Cake by Petunia $349.00
No. 6 – A classic large carryall, this one would be great for a working mom – it has a polished edge and just the right about of style. No one will even guess it’s full of bottles and diapers. Timi and Leslie $159.99
Which one is your favorite?

B*SCHUS – Here’s a link to where I bought the #6, but I believe it’s also available on Zappo and elsewhere.

I purchased a Petunia Pickle Bottom Cake bag but had to return it because the background color is so much darker than appears on my computer screen. I thought it was an off-white, but it’s actually a very dark beige, and I just didn’t like it
I was so disappointed. I love the look of the OiOi….

I swear I misses out on the fashion gene… I prefer a basic bike messenger bag to any of those. I’m like that with shoes too.

I have two MZ Wallace Kate diaper bags (a black one for winter and one in latte for summer) and I love them. They don’t look like diaper bags at all but they are so practical and look as new as the day they arrived despite heavy daily use and lots of travel…

These are super cute.
I have the StorkSak Olivia and it’s pretty stylish and I get lots of compliments on it!

@Brandy: Thanks! It was my first purchase after getting a BFP. I figured I *knew* handbags, so I would start the baby purchasing with something that I already knew.
It was sooo hard to choose just one!

I have a Tribe diaper bag in blue and have to say that it’s amazing. It’s basically a Balenciaga of diaper bags – very high quality leather. The interior and functionality is well thought out. I’m now thinking of buying a second one in a different color but can’t decide. Ha ha…

So glad to see the love for no.4 (which of course is a favorite at Tribe’s office too)!
@Anna, wonderful to hear that you’re enjoying your Singapore Sling. Don’t hesitate to get a second, I say!

I’d have to agree with Mrs. SuperHero and Mrs. High Heels – No. 4 is my FAVORITE!!!
