Black and white is a classic look all its own. Add stripes to the aesthetic, and Sable’s Diaper Bag Backpack has mommy-chic written all over it. This stylish diaper bag was designed for mamas who need a lot of pockets to store dirty diapers, a lip balm, baby’s favorite toy, and all the other random crap kids accumulate.

It clips on my stroller and I can also wear it crossbody and it’s not awkward like some larger bags this size are. It’s easy to wipe down and great quality. I can use this as a carry on bag for trips when my kids get old enough where I don’t need to carry a diaper bag anymore. The included changing pad is great!”
