Need to go out with baby for lunch with the girls? You don’t need to bring a full-sized diaper bag. These Damask Diaper Clutches by Danielle Elizabeth Designs will carry all of your child’s diapering essentials. Each clutch includes an oilcloth changing pad, an elastic pocket inside for diapers, and a zipper pocket for items such as wipes and ointments. So while you’re seated at the restaurant or cafe with your little one, you won’t have to fuss with a diaper bag because you’ll have your smart-looking, rhinestone-trimmed, fashionable, yet practical, diaper clutch.

This 5 Piece Diaper Bag and Tote Set by Kalencom looks sleek and modern. There are so many pretty diaper bags with all kinds of pockets and zippers and things that roll out and fold up, but I like the idea of simple. This Diaper Bag and Tote Set looks like it has all the essentials: pockets, changing pad, an insulated bottle bag and a mini tote for mom’s essentials.

The difference I see between this nylon Diaper Bag and other brands is that this could easily transition into a beach bag, a gym bag, a sleep over bag, etc. You can see the full description of this product at the Web site AnnaBean.com where it is priced at $48.

Here is a simple diaper bag with a clean, classic look.  Gingham is a favorite fabric for infant items, and it works very well here.  The open-topped design makes it easy to find whatever you have tucked away inside. The outside of the bag is 100% cotton gingham, and the inside is lined with a coordinating solid color also in 100% cotton.  To add a unique touch, the bag comes personalized with your choice of a name or a monogram (both single initial or three letter monograms are available).  It is fully machine washable, so you will be able to keep it looking crisp.  I think this bag will grow with your child.  As she gets older, she may want to use it as a tote bag.

The company also makes coordinating bibs, burp cloths, and blankets, so you can put together a matching set.  Any of these products would make a thoughtful baby gift, and combined they would make an amazing gift basket.  All of the products are made by Paula McDougald, a stay at home mother of two, so you know that you are receiving well-constructed and kid/mother-tested items, and the prices are extremely reasonable.  You can check out all of the company’s offerings at mysweetpeasboutique.com.  The gingham diaper bag retails for $40.

I like the quilted microfiber fabric of this diaper bag. The goldenrod color is a little retro, don’t you think? This JP Lizzy March of Dimes Bloom Tote/Diaper Bag is loaded with plenty of handy features. The fabric is wipeable, and it also has a wipeable liner, magnetic closure, coordinating changing pad, a large zippered interior pocket, 2 exterior side pockets and metal feet. The metal feet will help keep the bag from being smudged.

Visit BarefootBella.net where the tote bag is priced at $58. You can feel good knowing that 10% of the profits from this bag go to the March of Dimes.

This tote/duffel bag by Kushies could be used in a variety of ways. “My Bag” can be used as a diaper bag, daycare tote, or overnight case. It comes in styles perfect for young boys and girls. (I know a few adults who wouldn’t mind carrying such an adorable, practical bag as well!)

My Bag features many inserts that are useful, including an insulated snack box, insulated medicine box, clean clothes bag, dirty clothes bag, soiled clothes bag with laundry insert, spare shoes bag, a pillow, a blanket, and a hook to hang the bag. All of this functionality justifies the price tag of $79.99. You can view the colors available and more about the bag at Kushies.com.

Besides the obvious designer fabrics and Italian leather with polished hardware that give this Black Bean Reese Diaper Bag from Mia Bossi its sophisticated look, it also has all the necessary features of a diaper bag. It features a washable changing pad, zip-in and zip-out inside lining (additional insert for computer or briefcase available), cell phone holder, keychain holder, diaper holder, baby wipe holder and a private zippered pocket for personal belongings. The straps are adjustable and detachable, making it a snap to strap around the stroller. 

Today’s mom needs just as many features as baby so don’t feel too guilty about the price:$390. You can take a closer look at this product at  BellyDanceBaby.com.
