As a new or seasoned parent, you may wonder why a designer diaper bag is paramount over a canvas tote or any spacious bag. But, when you list all the essential items you need to carry for your little one, you'll soon realize why a dedicated luxury diaper bag with assorted pockets and compartments to help you stay organized and prepared is a must-have.

Necessities for newborns like diapers, wipes, pacifiers, and bottles all need somewhere to live. Toss in an on-the-go white noise machine, teether, and a toy or two to keep your little one interested and calm, and instead of streamlined travel, you're lugging multiple bags. Designer diaper bags have room for all the above, plus extra space for your keys, wallet, and phone, with aesthetics in mind.

Ahead, we've curated 16 styles—backpacks, stroller handlebar bags, totes, messengers, and convertible styles—that are durable and feature easy-to-clean materials. As a daily accessory, your diaper bag will be getting a lot of use—you may as well make a statement with one of the elevated styles below.
