Diaper Bag Backpacks
The biggest advantage of diaper bag backpacks is portability. The dual straps reduce back strain while freeing up your arms to carry your baby or purse or other items. These backpacks are also some of the most inexpensive options being sold today. - Daddy Diaper Bags
The term daddy diaper bag refers less to style than to color, design, and appearance. Darker, more masculine colors are commonly used. These bags are also less purse-like than other styles, e.g. backpacks and messenger bags. Many mini diaper styles could also be considered daddy diaper bags. -
Messenger Diaper Bags
Diaper messengers were adapted from the messenger bags used by couriers. Messenger styles typically feature a fold-over flap and small, button-down pockets on each end. Diaper messenger bags are uniquely suited to the active lifestyles of working moms. -
Stroller Diaper Bags
Stroller diaper bags are commonly designed with long, looping carrying straps that can be hung over a stroller. A fold-over flap is often used with this style, though unlike messenger design, stroller bags frequently have two facing front pockets in addition to the two end pockets.
