My Newest Diaper Bag Crush

elizabeth leach — Fri, 29 May 2009 19:30:00 GMT

There she is. The minute I saw her, I knew I had to have her. Skip Hop's City Chic Diaper Bag (in Park Avenue Tulip) has all the essential pockets plus a unique graphic pattern in contemporary colors. With stroller clips built into the bag and a detachable clutch for all your mommy stuff, this is a practical bag that doesn't skimp on style.

More luxurious details include leather trim, cushioned changing pad, nickel feet and side pockets for bottles or sippy cups. The ultra chic pattern is laminated, so it wipes clean and the inside lining is also water resistant.

Skip Hop's City Chic Diaper Bag is $99 and comes in four cool patterns.

Be Major by Ju-Ju-Be

elizabeth leach — Wed, 20 May 2009 17:00:00 GMT

Ju-Ju-Be designs a lot more than fantastic diaper bags. They also create bags to carry alone or inside your diaper bag to stay even more organized. Be Major is a wristlet, but not just any wristlet. It's a major wristlet that will hold everything you need (except a diaper). Ju-Ju-Be is obsessed with keeping us organized and making our lives easier. Two things I need major help with!

Be Major has an easy to reach front pocket for your cell phone, a pocket for your driver's license, credit cards, change, an included pen, mirror, picture holders and more pockets to hold receipts, important pieces of paper and whatever else you don't want lying at the bottom of your bag! With all the luxe features I love about Ju-Ju-Be like satin lining and metal hardware with cute rhinestones and stars.

Be Major includes two extender straps: 8" wristlet strap and 24" shoulder strap. Available in nine solid colors and patterns and measures 8" x 4.25" x 1.5". Made from the same water proof and Teflon coated fabric as all Ju-Ju-Be products and is machine washable.

Shop Ju-Ju-Be.

Steal This Look for Less: Black Patent Diaper Bag - $350 vs. $74.95

SunnyChanel — Sat, 16 May 2009 13:30:00 GMT

Yeah, black patent leather never goes out of style. High prices? They ain’t very much in vogue these days. If you the money, well then just go right ahead and pick up the Lucia Patent Diaper Bag by Felix Ray from Bergdorf Goodman for $350 right here. Sure this one has goldtone hardware, a detachable shoulder strap and a FR logo plate. But what you get for $74.95.

What can you get for less?

For $74.95, you can pick up Sophie’s Black Patent Carry All Diaper Bag by Rock N Moms. This one features waterproofed patent leather, a little pink bow and locket artwork on the front, and hot pink lining…natch. You can purchase one of those right here.

Introducing the Bagless Diaper Bag

JeanneSager — Fri, 15 May 2009 21:04:00 GMT

The worst part of the diaper bag was always the hefty, bulky back-breaking bag. So what if you could get all the best parts of the diaper bag without the actual bag?

The Quick Change Kit from Kalencom seems to do the trick. A foldable pad to lay out for a diaper change anywhere, it's stocked with a plastic wipes container and space to stow the diapers. An extra zippered pocket on the outside gives you space for your keys, cash and other necessities. But that's it.

Folded up and buckled, it's only a foot wide and about half as tall. So not heft. No bulk, and you've got all you need for the on the go?

Now all you need to know is where to get it (and in more than a dozen funky designs). That would be straight from Kalencom for $24. You can thank us later.

Go GaGa for this Messenger Bag

JeanneSager — Thu, 14 May 2009 19:03:00 GMT

If you want to get technical, it's a diaper bag. But Go GaGa knows we'd all prefer a bag that cushions our laptop just as easily as it carries our little one's dirty laundry.

Introducing the Daddy Diaper Bag that doesn't have to be. With a slot on the outside that could as easily hold a bottle of water as it would a sippy of juice, and an inside well-padded to protect a laptop, the Go GaGa Messenger is a baby and beyond kind of bag.

The ergonomic strap makes this one of the most back-friendly bags we've tried out here on Droolicious, and the easy open buckle made accessing baby's wipes or daddy's keys a one-handed operation.

So get it for him, get it for her, even get it for someone who is totally baby-free. It's over at Go GaGa for $118 in a host of colors.

Star Mom: Naomi Watts Totes with Tod’s

SunnyChanel — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 19:30:00 GMT

Naomi Watts didn’t opt for a regular old diaper bag, she’s utilizing regular old purse for her lugging around needs. But this really isn’t just a regular old purse, this is a Tod’s Nylon Bauletto Grande. How much would a big basic black nylon bag by Tod’s set you back? A lot. This Italian made carryall that features polished gold hardware, rolled leather handles, decorative rings and fine satin lining and is big enough for all your babies necessities. The regular price of this bag is $925. Yup, pert near a grand. But guess what? It just happens to be on sale! You can pick one up for not so low low price of $648 from Eluxury right here.

This is a Diaper Bag? Believe It

JeanneSager — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 16:26:00 GMT

Forgive me for thinking diaper bags were supposed to be functionally ugly and covered in characters. Coolil has.

Their Heidi Mommy Bag is a slouchy hobo you can sling over your shoulder without the kid and no one would be the wiser. Stocked with dividers and pockets galore on the inside, it's collapsible with snap enclosures to minimize the momminess when you're out and about, and a set of hooks makes the Heidi into a backpack when you need extra hands.

From the New York-based company that's made a name for itself by bringing Israeli designers to the states, the Heidi comes from Adi Samuel, whose fabrics are fabric free and anything but ugly.

Get a Heidi Mommy Bag now from Coolil and save $16 on the 2008 line ($109) or check out the 2009 styles ($125) that have just hit the site.

First Look: Babymel X2 Diaper Bag for Twins

Nicole Feliciano — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 22:30:00 GMT

The new X2 offers a novel approach to managing gear for multiple kids.

Twins may mean double the fun, but they also means double the stuff (four diapers in the bag instead of two, two emergency bottles instead of one...you get the picture). The London ladies behind the Babymel brand have you covered. Their latest offering --The Babymel X2--is designed for parents with two kids to wrangle. ($98)

The genius feature: The X2 is comprised of two separate bags that can be clipped together or separated as needed. Say one parent heads home for naptime and the other stays at the swings. No one is left exposed. Flustered parents of multiples will appreciate the wipe clean linings, insulated bottle pockets and changing mats. Plus the new Strollerstrap allows the bag to be converted from stroller to shoulder with a zip of Velcro.

X2’s got clean modern looks, resembling a messenger bag, and it’s made of a lightweight, ripstop fabric. We think it's time has come.

Brown And Pink Guitar Diaper Bag

Lisa Estall — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 20:27:00 GMT

A Diaper Dude guitar bag has been featured on Droolicious before but I wanted to share this particular one as I like the design. I like these types of diaper...bags because they’re light to carry and look comfortable to wear on a stroll.

I doubt if my husband will wear this since he would probably consider this a manbag.

It’s sold at $64.95 and can be bought at tuttibella.com

Starlet Jessica Alba doesn’t let the limits of diaper bag designs stop her. Fashionista Jessica took a regular old everyday Fendi Brown Zucca Woven Large ‘X Word’ bag and is using it as a diaper bag for her daughter Honor.

SunnyChanel — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 17:00:00 GMT

Droolworthy: Diaper Bag from Built NY

Aaron Burgess — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 17:30:00 GMT

Lots of us swear by Built NY's laptop cases and lunch totes -- so consider us wowed by the company's entry into the diaper-bag market.

Sturdily constructed from neoprene and water-resistant nylon, the Built Diaper Bag features an adjustable strap that works equally well slung across your shoulder or your stroller bar. And though its exterior screams simplicity, the bag packs a complex pocket system that gives easy access to everything from baby's diapers, bottles and toy keys to your wallet, cell phone and house keys. Pair it with Built's Cushy Tushy Changing Pad ($20) for a complete changing system on the go.

$70 from Built NY. [Ohdeedoh]

Rock the Tote by Baby Star

elizabeth leach — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 19:00:00 GMT

Baby Star's new diaper bag, Rock the Tote, is rocking my world. It's perfect in every way. What's so rockin' about this bag is that not only does it make a great diaper bag, but it's also a very cool tote. I would have bought this bag long before my diaper bag carrying days.

Available in five seriously cool metallic colors: turquoise, silver, gold, green and blue and in their Daisy Chain print (my personal favorite). Inside the bag, a wide zipper pocket holds a matching changing pad (included) and on the other side are two open pockets which could hold a bottle or sippy cup and cell phone. A BPA-free wipe case also comes with the bag. Tote measures 18" x 36" and is large enough to carry a laptop, but not so large that you feel weighed down.

The fabulous Daisy Chain print is made with a BPA-free laminate and the metallic bags have a polyurethane exterior and fabric interior. All materials are safe for baby and the environment.

Find Rock the Tote at Baby Star for $88.

Spit Up: $1350 for a Diaper Bag?!? Really?

SunnyChanel — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 17:28:00 GMT

Yeah, with our current economic forecast, I doubt anyone will be buying this bag any time soon. This bag designed to carry diapers, bottles and spit up rags goes for the staggering price of $1350. Yup. $1350 for a diaper bag. Who would dare to market a mommy accessory at this price point? Tod’s, the well respected leather goods company that is famous for it’s supple leather driving shoes. Their Pashmy Mummy Baby Bag is “for the chic mom: a utilitarian carryall”. But if you in the market for pockets, this bag has them. The Mummy Bag has six outer pockets and ten inside pockets and comes with a detachable changing pad…and for that price it better. You can check out the bag, which is available from Saks Fifth Avenue, here.

Get Away with Allerhand Carry-on Bag

Heather Kuldell — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 20:06:00 GMT

Traveling with baby doesn’t have to be difficult. While it’s impossible to control flight delays or turbulence, you can be prepped for at least the imaginable with a well-packed, but not overpacked bag. The Allerhand Carry-on Bag is small enough to stow beneath a plane seat, but has enough pockets to stash necessities and keep them in place. Though the PVC-free bag only measures 13 inches by 12 inches by 4 and half, it has two zippered compartments that open to reveal three thermal sleeves for bottles and stretchy elastic dividers. The bag also comes with several removable pouches to carry first-aid needs, a thermos, a cell phone or change. In addition to the travel changing mat, the bag comes with disposable bags to keep messes contained.

Available at Oompa in dark gray or flamingo for $94.99.

Green Baby: Chic Eco Stroller Tote

Cathy Hale — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 02:00:00 GMT

Eco-friendly does not mean boring, especially when you're toting this functional bag by Dante Beatrix.

Thanks to special clips on the back of the bag, you can fasten it to the stroller handles with ease.

elizabeth leach — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 21:30:00 GMT

There are hundreds of bags out there with the promise of being perfect. Naturally Knotty's Four Pocket Silk Laminated Tote really does cover all the bases. Ideal as a diaper bag or a roomy tote for the beach, gym, a day in the city or every day. This bag is practical, chic and very versatile.

Naturally Knotty's bag has four large, outside pockets for baby bottles, sippy cups, sun tan lotion, a bottle of wine (hey, why not?), magazine, book, you name it!

Four stainless steel feet protect the bottom of the bag and the handle is comfortable to wear all day.

Skip Hop's Swipe Turns Every Diaper Change Into High Noon

Aaron Burgess — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:00:00 GMT

I love how badass this photo makes Skip Hop's Swipe baby-wipes case look -- "ass" being the operative word for what you'll attack with the thing, of course.

A BPA-, PVC- and phthalate-free holster that lets you keep wipes at the ready, the Swipe features a strap that's designed to snap onto your bag, belt loop or stroller. The quick-draw button gives you one-handed access to wipes when you need 'em, while the translucent shell ensures you won't have to keep opening and closing it to see how many wipes you have left.

My favorite feature of the Swipe, however, may be the price tag: $8 from Skip Hop.

Indulge Mom: Cake Clutch

Cathy Hale — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 14:00:00 GMT

This dainty diaper bag feautures European cut velvet and coordinating tweed fabric. It's sinfully superb! The interior has room for wipes, cream and pacifiers. It comes with an matching detachable coin purse and embossed Cake wipe case. Not into cherry cake? There are lots of delicious flavors to choose from like Huckleberry Swirl, Midnight Blackberry, Pistachio Layer and Raspberry Cream. The perfect calorie-free way to indulge any mom! Shop PoshTots.

Storksak: Angelina Loved Hers

Cathy Hale — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 18:00:00 GMT

Wanna transport diapers just like Angelina did in 2006? Okay, okay... it might not be breaking news, but a good diaper bag is a good diaper bag, right? Classics are classic for a reason. Angelina was spotted carrying a Storksak Emily Diaper Bag in People Magazine a few years ago. In my opinion, this is still a very cool diaper bag. Then again, I'm a sucker for functional metallics on sale. Anyway, this bronze beauty has a built-in insulated bottle holder, roomy pockets (and lots of 'em!), detachable clip for keys, detachable bag, padded changing mat and more. The inside features a wipe-clean lining too. It retails for $175 at BlissLiving.
