Fortunately I don’t buy every diaper bag with which I fall in love or I would have a closet bursting with more than jeans and shoes! But I am addicted to finding diaper bags that combine form, function and fashion, and SoYoung Mother has hit the mark.

Along with its wipeable, water-resistant microsuede exterior this bag has a shallow bottom eliminating the frustrating search for the ever-elusive pacifier. The gingham interior, which boasts see-through pockets, can be wiped down when that sippy cup leaks or diaper crème explodes. You have pockets for everything from diapers and snacks to baby's pacifier and a change of clothes, plus the cell phone pocket is within easy reach (another must-have for me). All that and the SoYoung Mother diaper bag doesn't look at all like a diaper bag, which is one thing I love most about it.

Accessories include a collapsible cooler bag for food and bottles and a machine-washable and dryable changing pad. One feature this bag has I have yet to see on any other diaper bags is a generous outside flap for baby’s blanket, baby carrier or even a yoga mat - think pre- or post-natal yoga!

The SoYoung Mother diaper bag can be worn messenger style or over the shoulder, and its adjustable straps means it can securely hang from most strollers. Finally, in true form-meets-function style, it fits most laptops in case Mom has to go back to work. The SoYoung Mother diaper bag is available in two colors and costs around $150. - Emily H.
