Where to Find the Most Durable Baby Diaper Bags

A diaper bag has not officially been christened until it has experienced cracker crumbs, forgotten raisins, a sticky Sugar free lollipop, candy apple chapstick, a melted Spiderman gummy, and a leaking Motts for Tots.

Like most new moms, I quickly came to the realization that babies are tough not only on adorable onesies, cute appliquéd bibs and designer baby clothes, but also on a diaper bag. In less than a year, I had officially worn out two bags that I received as baby shower gifts and two free diaper bags that came home with us from the hospital stuffed full of formula. Since babies and all their paraphernalia are heavy duty, a diaper bag needs to be tough and durable to keep up with today's busy babies and busier moms.

So, where are the most durable baby diaper bags hiding?

Here are my top trendy picks that will be well worth their investment in the long run.

Fleurville has easily made the world of diaper bag shopping entirely less alien with their Mothership diaper bag. Not only is this the Mothership of all diaper bags, but it is also green friendly as well! Fleurville products are PVC free and coated with environmentally friendly Green Lam which makes the diaper bag moisture-repellent, resistant to UV, and incredibly durable. The bag is also designed to stand up when open so mom can have a free hand. The diaper bag is available in 11 different colors. Psst...two color choices are currently on sale for nearly half off!

Reese Li is also letting the genie out of the baby bottle with the super huge and super cool Lexington diaper bag. Latest styles are available in Orange Genie and Black Genie, and these diaper bags are definitely made to last. They are wipe-able, weatherproof and can also fit a laptop for the busy on the go mom. Kudos to a versatile diaper bag that looks great for casual mommy wear and office attire. The Lexington diaper comes in a variety of color choices including the gorgeous laminated canvas Earth Stripe.

Other great designs by Reese Li are the more classic Black Baby Pink and Black Baby Blue. Either selection is sure to have a new mom happily singing, "I love my Baby Black, Baby Black, Baby Black!"

Hoohobbers also offers some trendy and colorful nylon diapers bags. The Messenger Diaper Bag is available in 42 different designer collections. Hoohobbers diaper bags are 100% washable and the bottoms, insides, and pockets are reinforced with nylon. From a more classic black and white Versailles pattern to a fun and bright Go Fish, Hoohobbers has a fabric choice sure to please every mom.

For the active on the go mom and dad, the Baby Sherpa Diaper Bag Backpack is another excellent choice. This diaper bag is water resistant and easy to clean and it comes fully loaded with deep compartments, a heavy duty lug handle, and tough easy pull zippers. An additional feature is this bag also fits as carry on luggage for most airlines so it's perfect for traveling too.

Another durable diaper bag, similar in style to the Baby Sherpa is The Highland Heavy Duty Satchel Diaper Bag by Mommy's Helper. This large size diaper bag is made of genuine micro-fibre and has lots of great storage and insulated compartments.

If mom demands style with durability, then Kate Spade offers an abstract dot medium baby bag. This 100% canvas tote has a wipe-able liner in kelly green with dots and its simple style just screams classy. As a special treat for mom, a pop clinton street wallet in green would look just great inside this awesome diaper bag!

Regardless of your style, durability is sincerely a mommy must when shopping for a diaper bag that is going to withstand the trials and tribulations of parenthood.
