Solid diaper bag with a few drawbacks
Aug 28, 2026
We've been using this bag for almost 4 months now for our second child and LOVE it! It's much more compact than our previous backpack diaper bag, but we can fit all the same items. We carry a pack of wipes, 6 or so diapers, an extra outfit for baby, a few toys, a small book, a nursing cover, a muslin blanket, my small purse, a few snacks, the changing pad, a smaller pack of backup wipes, and two large Stanley water bottles, and everything stays organized and easily accessible! The large metal…

Its an okay bag

For the price I feel like it was missing a couple of things. The diaper changing pad should have had a water proof lining. The bag should have came with a pacifier holder. The should have had a wipe pocket.

Organized, sturdy, and stylish diaper bag
This review was collected as part of a promotion
This is the third diaper backpack I have tried out now, and it definitely ranks as one of the best. First of all, it looks more like a backpack than a diaper bag, so that's a plus. Next, there are so many different compartments so I can store my baby's items away from eachother and not have to rummage through one large compartment. Lastly, I love how the material feels sturdy and it's water-resistant, so any little accident on the bag can wipe right off. It's a comfortable wear and guaranteed to get the job done.

Too small to work well
This review was collected as part of a promotion
The quality of this bag is nice; however, the space is significantly more limited than the simple Huggies diaper bag I already have. I tried to move everything I had in our original diaper bag into this one, and it would barely close! Disappointed - wont likely continue to use it.

My favorite diaper bag
This review was collected as part of a promotion
This is the IT diaper bag. Now that I’ve entered the toddler stage, I was in the market to transition from my regular diaper bag to something a little smaller without sacrificing too much room. This bag has so many compartments and pockets that make staying organized easier. I love that it comes with two packing cubes, one an insulated bottle pouch and the other a mesh organizer.
The backpack is also very comfortable to wear and feels lightweight without losing space inside. I think it’s…

Forma Next Backpack Diaper Bag
This review was collected as part of a promotion
The Forma Next backpack diaper bag has been our go to diaper bag of recent. I like the simple yet modern look of it with the black color and white zipper ties. It holds a lot of baby supplies and has several compartments. The best part is that it is a backpack and you wouldn’t really even know that it’s a diaper bag.

Spacious and Compact
This review was collected as part of a promotion
Fabulous diaper bag with so many spacious compartments and useful organizer items. I love that the side pockets allow for a large water bottle and that there is an included diaper pad. Each of the inner pockets and sections are lined with protective fabric to keep items dry for those oops moments with liquids. The straps are sturdy and help absorb the weight of the bag’s contents. Nice and compact bag that holds a lot of stuff. Definitely a great option for a diaper bag!
