All this back to school shopping for my daughter has gotten in the mood for fall. And for me, that means pulling out my favorite boots and looking for a brand new diaper bag. We're already huge fans of the Baby Kaed bags from mom Lavinia…
It's hard to believe a few short years ago, a diaper bag looked like (gasp) a diaper bag. Today, diaper bags are allowed to look like clutches, like hobo bags, like totes - pretty much anything besides something actually designed to help…
If we just so happened to win the lottery, one of the first places we'd hit on a spending spree would probably be Psychobaby , a Chicago-based boutique that sports some of the hippest clothes, shoes, and gifts for the alternative set. We…
Both Liz and I espoused the greatness of Crystalyn Kae's Soiree bag - so much so that it was our pick for Cool Mom Picks Bag of the Year in 2008. So when we found out that she made a few changes to her original design to turn it into a d…
Considering my bag addiction, now infamous with my husband and our credit card company if not all of you, I can't believe I'm about to tell you how to avoid buying another diaper bag. Thanks to the Pishposh Mommy quick zip bag , you can …
Whenever I buy a diaper bag I try to make it as gender-neutral as possible so my husband feels comfortable using it as well. It never occurred to me to just get him his own so that I could have my cute and girlie diaper bag all to myself…
I was just thinking it's been a while since I saw any fun new diaper bags to get excited over, and then CMP fave Hedvig Bourbon goes and reads my mind and creates well, some fun new diaper bags to get excited over. The trendy Brooklyn de…
When I first saw the hands-free bags from Jupiter Freedom , I figured they were mostly for athletic types and young hipsters, and not for a busy mom of three who's sort of married to her diaper bag. But then I gave it a whirl one afterno…
While I swear by slings and baby carriers for making my life easy and my hands free, they are not made for moms who like to carry a diaper bag. And while I've tried to stuff a diaper, some wipes, and my keys in those teeny pockets a few …
I've seen my fair share of diaper clutches, but none like JJ Cole 's new Tactic Changing Purse, a diaper changing pad that makes a smart new addition to their super line of parenting products. Unlike the other diaper clutches I've used, …
We've come across a few prepacked maternity bags and I have to say the idea is generally better than the execution. The bags often have these huge ugly logos on it that say something awful like NEW MOMMY ON BOARD and they're filled with …
Who was the evil mastermind that convinced moms they needed to schlep around gigantic, ugly quilted diaper bags in order to carry baby essentials? Personally I like bags like this Everyday Bag from Christy Studio , which is stylish enoug…
We're very pleased once again to present our editors' top picks for 2008. It's a tough thing we must say - with literally hundreds to choose from (and trust us, we love them all) narrowing down is no small feat. But narrow we did. Each d…
A few years ago, this handbag fanatic would have fallen over had someone told me I'd be hoarding diaper bags, but considering how amazing they've all gotten, you might understand my obsession. And since finding the Bohemian inspired Pinn…
Yes, I'm an avowed bag fanatic, but that doesn't mean I want to carry a second one for my laptop along with my diaper bag. However I had yet to come across a hybrid diaper/laptop bag that I'd actually carry until I discovered the classic…
I've come across enough leaky bottles, squished tubes of diaper cream and spilled snacks to realize that the stuff of mothering should be strong enough to be hosed off in the backyard. Michele Sommer and Yvette Yelardy of Boston-area MY …
Long before Cool Mom Picks, I was a big fan of diaper bags that made a statement beyond "I wipe poopy butts all day long." But after treating myself to something pretty, I soon discovered pretty didn't necessarily keep me any more organi…
Diaper bags are getting less and less diaper bag-y by the minute, which is just the way we like 'em. The latest entrant into the Project Runway-ready bag category are the new Street Chic bags from longtime CMP fave, Boujie Baby . The two…
My husband gives me gift cards for a special occasions with the excuse that I'm just way too picky. Most of the time, I roll my eyes at him, however, had he given me one to 1154 Lill Studio , I would say he was a very smart man. We're al…
I may not get to France anytime soon, but the collection of school bags, shopping totes and bibs from French Artists at UK shop Lapin & Me will have me dreaming of crepes, baguettes and the Tuilieries in springtime. I love the cute, not …
Seventh Generation is pretty much owning the "look how eco I am" market of household products these days, so it makes sense that they'd branch out. In this case, with a swanky diaper bag. A swanky eco-diaper bag . And a nice one too or s…
We're certainly fortunate to have a pool right up the street from our house, but combine daily visits with two little kids and you've got a whole heck of a lot of crap to lug around . Clearly, not just any old tote bag will do, which is …
When it comes to diaper carriers for the menfolk, there's definitely a trend towards the heavy duty camo bag that screams "I'm a dude!" But for dads that want something sleeker and swankier, we suggest the new Gents line from two mom-own…
I can certainly appreciate some moms' love of the classic fabric diaper tote. It's not too bulky, not too heavy, and can be tossed in the wash without thinking twice. But what I don't get is why they're still making them in the same old …
