This Stylish Diaper Bag Will Have You Forgetting You're Even Carrying Diapers and Wipes

Once you become a parent, your days of leaving the house with a small purse holding only a wallet, keys and phone are pretty much over. Every parent knows that getting out the door with a baby takes 100 times longer than when you're by yourself, and requires a ton of additional bag space to store all of their odds and ends, from diapers to snacks to extra clothes — because nothing is more stressful than encountering a diaper emergency while out, only to realize you left something important at home. The good news is that the right diaper bag can make all the difference when you're away from home.

The experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute's Textiles Lab review parenting products of all kinds, from maternity clothes to diapers to kids' backpacks and more.
