12 (Stylish) Handbags That Double As Diaper Bags

Before I had a baby, I remember talking to my mom about being cool. Like, would my cool factor totally disappear once I have a child? (Thankfully I’m still VERY cool…) Ok, there are some cute diaper bags out there. But overall, it’s a category that isn’t normally considered “cool,” amiright? I mean, the patterns, the shapes – would you ever carry some of these bags in your everyday non-mama life? Probably not. (In the widget below I’ve linked some diaper bags that I like and are actually chic in case you want to go that route.)

And if you haven’t noticed, diaper bags aren’t cheap. They typically run you a pretty penny – so why not invest in a bag you can actually use for more than a couple of years? 

Since becoming a mama, I’ve had a couple of handbags that I’ve rotated and that work perfectly as diaper bags. This one  (shown in featured image) has been my go-to for over a year. It’s been through a whole lot, and still looks pretty darn good. Also, I’ve talked a lot on here about my adoration for this tote. It’s perfect for when you’re going to be gone for awhile and need a whole lot of stuff. 

There are a lot of stylish handbags out there, but most can’t double as diaper bags. Here are the things I looked for when choosing these bags:

• Durability – These babies have to stand up to a lot of throwing around, so you need something that will LAST. 
• Easy To Clean – No high maintenance fabrics! Motherhood is MESSY, y’all. 
• Structure – No floppy bags, please! 
• Roomy – Cus motherhood = A WHOLE LOT OF STUFF. 

And last but not least, here is a little secret weapon that you can use to turn these handbags into functional diaper bags. All diaper bags need a changing pad and compartments, right? Well, just place this little gem into any of the bags below, and you’re good to go, mama.
