The 8 Best Backpack Diaper Bags of 2019

Bag Nation’s all-purpose diaper bag backpack is one that moms and dads alike will be comfortable—literally—carrying, thanks to its ergonomically curved and padded shoulder straps and padded back panel with breathable mesh.

But comfort isn’t the only thing parents love about this bag. The bag wears well, and is designed to last thanks to its lightweight, durable, BPA-free, water-resistant twill polyester material. (Plus, if something does break, there’s a lifetime warranty.) It also includes adjustable stroller straps, a changing pad, and a sundry bag. Fourteen pockets—including an insulated pocket large enough for multiple bottles and a dedicated wipes pocket for easy access during diaper changes—help keep everything organized, which is a must with a crying baby.

If you’re looking for a high-quality backpack diaper bag at a low price, Mancro’s model fits the bill. It’s made from durable, water-resistant nylon fabric; it has padded backing, adjustable buckles, and reinforced straps; and it’s super-roomy, with 14 organizer compartments (including two insulated side pockets for bottles and a dedicated wipes pocket) and a large inside storage capacity.

Best of all, the Mancro diaper bag includes many of the parent-friendly features found with pricer bags—like an included changing pad and stroller straps—and one additional feature that we love: the bag’s main compartment unzips to lay completely flat, which makes packing (and finding!) baby gear a breeze.

Can't decide on a tote or backpack? The sleek and stylish, HaloVa Land series diaper bag backpack can also be carried as a tote and is available in nine colors—from basic black to a pink-trimmed light gray to a pretty coral-y orange.

Made of a lightweight, sturdy, waterproof oxford fabric, the Land series diaper bag has a large, easy-to-clean interior with multiple elastic pockets, an inside zippered pocket, and lots of space for all of your baby’s gear. A zippered, insulated front pocket is designed to hold several bottles; there’s also an additional large zippered pocket in the back, a zippered tech pocket, and a wet pocket. Plus, there’s an exterior wipes pocket.

On the downside, this diaper bag backpack doesn’t come with a changing pad, so you’ll need to provide your own. And it only has handles—no shoulder strap included, so no way to attach it to a stroller (you can buy rings separately to attach to stroller).

Extra-large, comfortable to carry, durable, and waterproof—these features make the highly rated HapTim a great choice for moms and dads who need a backpack diaper bag that can stand up to frequent travel. It’s super-roomy—one of the biggest bags we’ve found—making it ideal for overnights or weekends away from home. Two large separated compartments and 18 pockets (three of which are insulated) keep everything organized—a must when you’re away from home. A changing pad and stroller straps are included.

Parents of twins need to carry twice as much stuff—and Graco’s Gotham backpack diaper bag, at 17.5" x 15"x 4", is sized generously enough for the job.

The interior pocket has multiple elasticized storage compartments and a zippered pocket for easy organizing, while the outside has multiple zippered compartments, an insulated bottle pocket, and an easy-access wipes pocket on the side. A changing pad is included.

The biggest downside to this backpack diaper bag: it doesn’t attach to a stroller.
