The Top Diaper Bag Shoot-out Review



The task of picking the right diaper bag is a daunting one given the sea of choices. We researched over 80 bags currently on the market and narrowed our testing down to 14 of the most popular and highly rated bags for our detailed hands-on review. Check out our two articles How We Test - Diaper Bag as well as How to Choose the Perfect Diaper Bag for more information on what we consider important when deciding on the right bag for you.

Without further adieu, here are the award winners.

Our Editor's Choice Bags

We chose 2 bags for the Editor's Choice award; both resemble a purse instead of a diaper bag! The Skip Hop Studio is priced in the mid range at a list of $90. It's a dream in terms of storage capacity with large internal pockets, personal pockets, and even an antimicrobial-lined outer pocket for dirty items. It has nice soft tote straps which are comfortable to carry. It fits a ton of stuff with ease and elegance, yet is on the lighter side compared to many of the other heavy and more cumbersome higher-end bags we tested. Made of eco-friendly materials, it is an in vogue bag you will feel good to carry.

The StorkSak Olivia, also an Editor's Choice winner, is a high end bag at a list price of $198. It really feels more like a stylish, quality purse than a diaper bag and it is built to last beyond the diaper changing years so you can use it as just that. The bag can be carried by tote handles or a shoulder strap, and it includes nice accompanying accessories like a large changing pad, an accessory pouch, and an insulated bottle holder.

It is machine washable with antimicrobial lined fabric and a separate mommy pocket boasting great function, organization, and features. Both the internal and mommy pockets open widely with bottom gussets to help prevent stray items from falling out the sides.
