When our writer put a call out to thousands of parents on social media for the best diaper bags, more than half of them called attention to this exact bag. It’s the aesthetic of the bag that first catches your eye. Parents—and our editors, for that matter—love it because it’s a very attractive vegan leather option. The backpack style is another huge draw, as it leaves your hands free to deal with anything that comes your way: feeding a baby, pushing a stroller, running errands, and more. Alternatively, it also has stroller hooks and a luggage sleeve to attach it to whatever else you’re toting.
“I love the built-in padded laptop sleeve, too,” one commuting mom told us. “I find it so much easier not to have to swap bags from day to day, plus this is key when we go away for the weekend. It also means the bag will suit me long after I need it to haul baby gear wherever I go.” And even though the “Kinney” is one of the brand’s smaller models, there’s plenty of space inside the bag for all of your little one’s essentials, too. Actually, our editors love this “Goldilocks” size, because a fair amount of diaper bags we tested seemed so bulky. The main compartment has 10 internal pockets, including an insulated bottle pocket. It’s also equipped with a changing pad and stroller straps. “The water-resistant lining is a nice touch,” one mom told us. “This way I don’t worry so much about wet swimsuits after lessons or soiled clothing.”
All in all, we thought that, even though this is a highly attractive bag, it’s very well-made and can handle the rigors of day-to-day wear with a baby in tow. It offers plenty of organizational elements, but not so many that you can’t remember where you stashed it all. It’s also easy to clean inside and out—another huge plus, especially given the faux leather design. The biggest downside we could spot? The thin straps do dig in a little bit, especially if you’re carrying a particularly heavy load.
