Here’s a rundown of the cult favorite do-it-all luggage picks from moms who always seem to be ready for everything.
Easy Backpack Style: RUVALINO Multifunction Travel Back Pack
Far too many diaper bags are over the shoulder, which can be a real pain (literally) when you are trying to get through the airport. Keep your hands 100% free with the ultra-supportive straps on the RUVALINO Multifunction Travel Back Pack.
This waterproof backpack has six different interior compartments so you can organize everything you’ve got. There are special areas designed for diapers as well as holders for bottles. There is also a quick access pocket so you can securely store essentials, like your travel documents or gadgets.
We especially love the waterproof, durable material. You can toss it down on bathroom floors and changing tables, then just wipe it clean. The premium non-fraying stitching will keep it looking fabulous until the potty training and beyond.
Chic Mom on the Go Bag: JuJuBe B.F.F Convertible Legacy Collection
First of all, the JuJuBe B.F.F Convertible Legacy Collection looks gorgeous. From the timeless stripes of The First Lady bag to the watercolor effects of the Whimsical Whisper bag, you’ve got seven different to choose from. If you didn’t think it was possible to actually have a diaper bag that elevates your style, think again.
And, yep, they are as practical as they are pretty. There are four gusseted pockets and three zippered pockets in the main area. It’s got bottle pockets with Thinsulate by 3M for maintaining the temperature. There are a quick-reach phone pocket and a key holder. There is even a crumb drain so you can get out all those bits of cereal, crackers, and all of that other mess that comes with transporting snacks. Need to change diapers? There’s even a memory foam changing pad included.
One of my fave features is that you can remove the backpack straps and have an ultra-comfortable memory foam shoulder strap to turn it into a messenger style bag.

Is it a minimalistic looking, light-weight little backpack or a full-sized bassinet ready to be busted out at a moment’s notice? Why not both! You can use this ultra-practical carry-on bag for moms as a handbag, shoulder bag, backpack, or attach it to your stroller.
Whenever you need it, you can pull out the foldable changing pad or pop in the extendable rods and turn it into a bassinet. There is even a toy bar where you can stick up a mobile.
