The Best Baby Bags When You Have a Baby & a Toddler

Having a baby and a toddler can be quite a challenge, especially when you're trying to leave the house. For moms with young children, a baby bag should have space for at least two diapers, two toys and two snacks as well as a place for a cell phone and wallet. Ideally, the bag will be easy to clean and carry and stylish, of course. Fortunately, there are a number of baby bags that fit the bill.

  1. Skip Hop

    • Skip Hop baby bags look stylish while holding a lot of stuff. They were voted the best diaper bags by parents at Parents Connect and the editors at Babble as well as earning a spot in a Parents magazine article about affordable diaper bags. The bags come in a range of styles and colors and the liners always contrast, making it easier to find things. The best feature for parents with infants and toddlers, though, is the pockets. There are outside pockets that make it easy to grab things while chasing after two small children. Also helpful is the durable material that can be wiped down.

    Pocket Rocket

    • Recommended by a mom of five, including triplets, the Pocket Rocket is a large, water-resistant multi-pocketed tote by Scout. There are six outside pockets, so you can have three things for baby and three items for your toddler. The bag seems to repel dirt and sand, perfect for the park or beach. Another advantage is that the interior is large enough to carry lots of diapers, snacks and toys. There is even a large zippered pocket inside where you can store your cell phone, keys, wallet and lipstick.

    Kemby Sidekick

    • This rugged diaper bag also doubles as a baby carrier, which made it a top choice on the Cool Mom Picks website. So you'll be able to carry all the gear you need, plus carry baby and hold your toddler's hand. It comes with a changing pad, key clip, cell phone pocket and insulated pouch for bottles or snacks. There are several choices of fabric, all of which can be wiped clean. You can comfortably carry a 6-month-old or a toddler up to 35 pounds, which is handy if you don't own a double stroller.

    PackaBe

    • Another favorite of Parents Connect, Ju-Ju-Be's PackaBe bag can be worn over the shoulder or as a backpack. There is a convenient pocket for your sunglasses on the shoulder strap, an outside mommy pocket, an antimicrobial waterproof lining and lots of mesh pockets. The bag comes in a variety of fabrics for the stylish mom.
