Designer Diaper Bags

Diapers, baby wipes, changing mats, baby food, bottles and bibs, oh my! Carrying all of baby's things around can be a challenge, and that's where the all-purpose diaper bag comes in. In terms of color, functionality and style, the diaper bag of today is not what it used to be. There is a wide array of bags available, and many of them keep Mom and Dad in mind with comfortable straps and handles, and pockets for cell phones and keys.

Designer Diaper Bags

New moms and dads embracing parenthood are looking for more than your typical diaper bag. They want sleek and functional bags, but above all, they want diaper bags that don't look like diaper bags. That's where designer diaper bags come in. All the functionality of a diaper bag wrapped up in a hot little package that matches Mom and Dad's style. Look for bags by maternity specialists Kalencom, Reese Li and Oi Oi for something stylish and functional. Katie Holmes, Madonna and Tori Spelling are all over chic nappy bags by Mia Bossi. Most of these bags can be used sans-baby on a night out too. For bags with a sportier look, try designers like Skip Hop and Petunia Picklebottom. It's easy to justify the cost of a designer bag; after all, it's for your pride and joy! Not to mention you can keep the bag once there's no need for diapers anymore!

Monogrammed Diaper Bags

Add the cutest touch to your new diaper bag by having your baby's name or initials embroidered onto it. Many embroidery and tailoring shops offer this service, and some online retailers also offer it as an extra with their products. Personalized diaper bags stand out from the crowd, and are also a lasting keepsake as your baby grows up.

Backpack Diaper Bags

Carrying all of baby's equipment around can get tiring. Many people are choosing a backpack-style diaper bag that distributes weight evenly on both shoulders and is secure and convenient to carry. Superstar golfer Tiger Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren Woods sported Baby Sherpa backpack diaper bags for their baby, Sam.

Even dads are getting into style with diaper bags just for them. Rather than making Dad carry around a flowery pink bag, luggage companies are starting to offer everything from leather and cloth bags in manly black, brown or blue, to skull and flame designs for the ultimate anti-girly tote.

The diaper bags of today are the ultimate in style meeting function. Clever pockets and compartments on the inside are designed specifically for everything baby needs. Leather, canvas, hardware and style are designed for everything Mom and Dad want on the outside. "Going out with the baby" will never be the same!
