Minimalist style
If you think you could never leave the house with just a small bag, check out everything you can fit in the Kibou! Here's why it works: There's a waterproof pocket for storing 20+ wipes (or soiled or wet items you want to keep separate), and a fold-out changing pad tucked into an exterior pocket. The changing pad is detachable for easy cleaning, and once your child is out of diapers, you can replace it with Kibou's first aid kit. Wear this ingenious bag around your waist or on your shoulder.

Available at kiboubag.com, $80.

For quick clean-ups
This may look like a traditional diaper bag, but it has a clever way to snag a diaper without having to dig through your purse.

The vegan leather exterior is wipeable, and the interior fabric is spill-resistant. This bag boasts 11 pockets and an adjustable cross-body strap. It comes with a nylon changing pad, small purse for money and credit cards, and an insulated bottle holder, all in the same color as the bag exterior. Pretty Pokets also makes totes and backpacks.

The roadtrip must-have
The portable diapering station on this backpack is a game-changer. Through the clever use of a magnetic pull-release lock, you can open a diaper pad and reveal a smartly organized main compartment that houses tons of diapering essentials. Change that diaper efficiently in tight spaces (like the backseat) or any flat surface, thanks to the backpack's bag feet that let it stand upright on a flat surface. For on-the-go convenience, magnetic straps help you secure the bag to a car headrest or a stroller. The bag includes the detachable diaper pad, thermal pack to keep food cool, wet/dry compartment, pull-out caddy, external USB charging port, and lots of well-designed pockets for a laptop, water bottles and more.
