Best Diaper Bags of 2025, According to a Mom of 5

I evaluated my top diaper bag picks below based on comfort, functionality, style, and size. I sought to answer questions for every mom who texted me my recommendation as a “veteran parent,” including the best diaper bags for both parents, the best changing mat, diaper bags with accessible pockets, the best style and fabrics, and the best size that fits the essentials. After all, that extra change of baby clothes is a must—who knows when the next diaper blowout will be?

Not only are newer bags more stylish than in years past, but they also feature built-in hooks to latch onto your stroller, intuitive diaper-changing stations, pockets designed for the latest smartphones, and nooks and crannies to hold pacifiers. Modern diaper bags are a far cry from a basic tote or purse.
