I have fallen for this bag from OiOi diaper bags. It’s cute, the perfect size, goes with almost anything, and has features any parent would appreciate.

The OiOi Black Check Hobo is a black and white plaid diaper bag with all the normal features you’d expect (stroller straps, water resistant lining, change mat, pockets) and some that are a pleasant surprise (insulated bottle holder, hard wipes case, protective metal feet). My favorite feature is its size. It’s not too small yet it’s not so oversized that you can’t help but know it’s a baby bag. It’s like a diaper handbag really.

I also love the design. The neutral colors mean it can go with almost any outfit while the plaid pattern gives the bag style without being too girly.

You can find the OiOi Black Check Hobo diaper bag at eBags for $140.

You’ve seen reversible handbags. Meet the reversible diaper bag.

Isoki diaper bags utilize beautiful shapes and textiles to offer you both style and practicality. What’s even better is that they can be reversed (turned inside out) which gives you a choice in look. You essentially get two bags in one.

“Isoki” comes from an African word meaning “a beautiful gift”. That’s a lovely sentiment when talking about diaper bags. Afterall, is there any gift more beautiful than your baby?

Check out the Isoki collection at eBags.com.

Orange may be considered the least liked color, but it continues to be a hot color for shoppers. In fact, “orange handbags” and “orange diaper bags” continue to be near the top of most searched color phrases.

Why?

Perhaps it’s because orange is a unique color. Unlike pink diaper bags and blue diaper bags which are standard in the baby bag realm and black bags which there are SO many to choose from, orange is different. Orange is also a color that can carry you through spring, summer, and fall - in other words from spring flowers to fall leaves.

One of the drawbacks I think is that orange doesn’t go with everything. Can you imagine an orange diaper bag and a red top or skirt? Maybe the right shade of orange. For me, if I carried an orange diaper bag, I would have to buy something else for days when I wear colors that I don’t think go with orange.

How do you feel about orange - particularly orange diaper bags? Do you think I’m wrong? Comment on this post and let us know. We’d especially love to hear from people who love orange diaper bags. Tell us why.

I just got back from a baby shower today where a thought occurred to me. I noticed that everyone at the party gave multiple items. Not just one layette, but several. Not just a dress, but coordinating socks and sweater cover. It made me feel a little odd that I gave a Babies R Us gift card, but I knew that the mom-to-be already had a ton of baby things and she might appreciate a gift card when baby finally comes and something got overlooked. Still, I felt a little weird.

If you’re thinking of giving a diaper bag gift at a baby shower and that will be your only gift, I’ve got a great solution for you to help you avoid the weird feeling I experienced today. Give a diaper bag gift set. These are sets that include not only the diaper bag, but also accessories like changing pad, purse or clutch, and pacifier holder.

JP Lizzy is one brand that offers cute diaper bag gift sets perfect for baby shower gifts. The JP Lizzy Strawberry Truffle Diaper Tote Set is just one such bag set. It includes the diaper tote, changing pad, cosmetic bag, and coin purse/wristlet. 4 gifts in one available at eBags.com.

Another cute diaper bag gift set is the 5-in-1 Diaper Bag Set from Baby Boom. This bag includes everything you need to take baby on the road: diaper bag, mini tote, bottle holder, changing pad, and dirty duds pouch. This bag set is available at Babies R Us.

If you know diaper bags, you know that these days they are far from the pink and blue cutesy bags of the past. Now you can find designer baby bags and diaper bags that look like purses. Brands from Vera Bradley and Gerber to Kate Spade and Cole Haan are all making diaper bags that are so stylish that you’d never think they contain bottles, diapers, and wipes.

If you’re shopping around for diaper bags that look like purses, here are some things you should consider:

• This season’s handbag trends: What’s hot this season (or this coming season)? Think about what the handbag trends are and try to find diaper bags that have these elements as well. For instance, spring 2010 handbag trends include bright colors (even neon), bohemian chic (tassels, fringe, and hobos), hardware (studs, grommets, zippers, buckles), and floral prints.
• What you like in handbags: Go with what you like in your purse. If you love carrying a tote bag, then carry a diaper tote. If you love the look of hobo handbags, look for a diaper hobo. You don’t want to buy a cross body bag or messenger if you don’t like those as normal everyday bags because you’ll feel uncomfortable carrying that style of diaper bag.
• Label: Are you label-obsessed? Do you just love being spotted with names like Michael Kors, Kate Spade, Coach, and Cole Haan? Then you should look at carrying designer diaper bags. Do you want that designer look for less (are you trendy by less spendy)? Well, check out brands that offer stylish designs for a fraction of the price of designer bags - Timi & Leslie, Liz Lange, and Kalencom are great options.

Taking care of a baby is expensive in any economy but it’s even more of a wallet strain right now. While it may be 2010, the economy still doesn’t seem to have improved much (if at all). Still, that’s no reason you can’t have a cute diaper bag. There are plenty of inexpensive diaper bags out there that don’t compromise on style simply because they cost less. Want proof?

Everyone’s heard of the little black dress or the little black bag, but how about the little black diaper bag? Well, if you carry a diaper bag, you know that little doesn’t exactly translate to helpful. Afterall, you need room for diapers, bottles, wipes, changing pad, and hopefully some of your own things. But just because you need something with good organization doesn’t mean you need a bulky boring bag. You can still carry around a sleek and sophisticated black diaper bag.

Take a look at some of my favorite black diaper bags below:
