When your hands are already full with babies and toddlers, you don't need anything else weighing you down. Diaper backpacks keep all of your and your kiddos' essentials organized and out of your way while you chase after your littlest ones.

These chic designs are our favorite picks for storing wipes, diapers, snacks, bottles, extra clothes, burp cloths (the list goes on) — all while you're on the go.

Best Diaper Bag with Changing Station

Though every diaper bag has a changing pad, we love how the Petunia Pickle Bottom Diaper Backpack zips out as a complete station and is removable when needed.

Plus, you can tote this diaper bag as a backpack, crossbody, on your shoulder or with its top handle.

$328

With three carrying modes — backpack, crossbody and stroller — this luxe diaper backpack is the ultimate in versatility. In addition to a removable caddy, there are 12 pockets and compartments, including three exterior insulated ones that keep food and bottles hot or cold. The best part? The 100-percent recycled nylon fabric is water-repellent and easily wipes clean.

Best Machine-Washable Diaper Backpack

$195 $117

No matter how careful you are with sippy cups, snacks and wet clothes, accidents happen. The clever design of the JuJuBe BFF Diaper Bag Backpack lets you throw the entire bag into your washing machine to keep it like new. In addition to detachable, adjustable straps that let you carry the bag as a backpack, messenger bag or tote bag, it also has a plethora of pockets for baby and parent necessities.

Best Easy-to-Access Diaper Backpack

Parents love the zip-down opening of The Honest Company Cross Country Diaper Bag, which provides easy access to everything inside. The lining is wipeable, so it's simple to clean, and there's a smart combination of compartments: exterior and interior pockets, as well as large insulated ones. The bag is made from vegan leather and can be worn as a backpack or converted into a crossbody bag.

Best For-Any-Style Diaper Backpack

$89.95

Designed by parents of four, this functional diaper bag is neutral enough for mom, dad and any style. Convenient stroller hooks give your back a break while keeping the bag easy to access, and 10 pockets ensure that everything has its place. Two accessible insulated pockets keep bottles and snacks cold, and the included oversized changing pad makes diaper changes a little bit easier.
