Some moms might think that they don’t need a real diaper bag — “ordinary bags work just as well!” but spend a few days outside the house with your baby, and you’ll realize just how important it is. Not only will it hold all your baby essentials (find out what you really need to put inside here), it will also keep them organized and accessible. The good news is there are now a number of stylish options for moms who need its functionality yet it doesn't look anything like a diaper bag. Here are some of our top picks so far this year:

1. Carter’s Out ‘N About Backpack
Php999.75
The diaper bag that's a backpack will always be a classic. We like this one for its sturdy, athletic feel — the canvas feels smooth and the extra padding makes it durable. And it doesn’t look like a diaper bag! It has two side pockets and two front pockets that can hold essentials like feeding bottles. The main compartment is roomy and can hold a bunch of diapers and baby clothes, plus it comes with a foldable changing mat. The horizontal strap at the back makes it easy to slip on a stroller or luggage — perfect for travel!

2. Ollin Multifunction Backpack
Php999.75
This one looks inspired by a popular Japanese bag brand, but we’re not complaining! The bag is easy to open and props up on its own, so you don’t have to mind it when changing your baby. The front opens to three insulated pockets that can hold your bottles (and keep them warm!) with an additional mesh compartment. It also has two side pockets plus more pockets on the main compartment (total of five), which makes organizing your baby essentials a breeze. We also love that the back pocket gives you quick access to the inside of the bag, and that it comes with a changing pad. Super worth it!

3. Okiedog Freckles Backpack
Php1,999.75
A lot of parents prefer backpacks because it keeps their hands free to take care of the baby. This one is a lightweight option with thoughtful additions for mom, like a stroller attachment system and a detachable loop so small items, like your baby’s teether and rings, are secured and won’t get lost easily. It doesn’t have side pockets but it comes with a separate insulated bottle holder so baby’s milk stays warm, a changing mat, and an additional accessory bag. The design is super cute, too!

4. Okiedog Sumo
Php4,299.75
This has a hefty price tag but it makes sure it’s worth it. True to its name the bag is extremely spacious and can hold more than a day’s worth of essentials. It can also be carried three ways — as a handbag, backpack, and messenger bag. Like the backpack, it has nifty add-ons like a snapping loop so you can attach pacifiers, toys, and other small items for easy retrieval. It has two side pockets (one is insulated), and three front pockets. The front flap (with a Velcro closure) has three additional compartments and a hook where you can easily attach car keys. It also comes with a separate insulated bottle holder (that’s two warm bottles!), a changing mat, and an accessory bag.

5. Mamas & Papas Chrissi Changing Bag
Php4,599
This one is for the ultra-chic millennial mom — you wouldn’t know it’s a nappy bag at first glance! What we love: the straps easily adjust so you have the option to make it into a handbag or rucksack. It has a large outside pocket and the main compartment is very spacious with three storage pockets. There’s also an insulated bottle holder on one side. It even comes with a large mat for on the go diaper changes.
