Travel with small children always involves extra baggage — literally. Parents of little ones need to carry around necessities such as diapers, wipes, snacks, pacifiers, extra clothes, et cetera. So naturally, a diaper bag is at the top of the list of must have accessories. But not all bags are created equal. Sure, there are great diaper bags, but then there are the best diaper travel bags.
If you read some of my previous posts, you have probably surmised that we are always on the go. My husband and I try to make the most out of our family trips. That is why we quickly realized that our first diaper bag — you know those pretty ones with fancy patterns, beautiful colors and a high price tag– was actually very inconvenient for our lifestyle.
There are certain features that make a diaper bag convenient for an active family such as a hands-free carrying option, pockets for organization, and sufficient capacity. Here is a list of the best travel diaper bags for parents on the go.
Bag Nation Large Capacity Diaper Bag
It is no wonder this bag is at the top of the list; it has it all. The bag features an insulated compartment for bottles, a pocket for easy access to baby wipes, stroller straps and has enough compartments to store your own personal items. Did I mention it is also water resistant?!
Tactical Baby Gear Daypack Mini
TBG Daypack Mini is another water-resistant diaper bag made for daily use. It has multiple pockets for organization, and a pass-through front zipper for easy access. Due to its heavy-duty design, it is a great option to take with you for outdoor adventures.
Tactical Baby Gear Daypack 3.0
Daypack 3.0 is a more robust version of the mini, specifically designed for busy dads. This nifty top-rated bag has a built-in diaper changing pad and convenient stroller straps.
Both of these TGB diaper bags have a lifetime warranty.

Obersee Rio Diaper Backpack
My family’s favorite bag! This backpack got us through many adventures. It is so convenient and durable that we still use it even after our youngest grew out of diapers — two years ago! The classic design and compact size make it suitable for mom or dad to carry. It includes a changing mat, easy access front pocket, and a detachable insulated compartment.
Hap Tim Diaper Bag
The Hap Tim diaper bag is another great go to option that has comfort and practically in mind. It has a large capacity, wide top opening, and 18 pockets! It is made of waterproof exterior, includes stroller straps, and has insulated pockets for food and bottles.
Trust me when I say that the diaper bag you carry with you on trips makes a difference. The one you select should support your lifestyle and help make life just a little bit easier, or comfortable at least. I hope this list of diaper travel bags helps you find the best option that works for you, or at least point out the features you need to keep moving.
