It’s been a year and a half since I’ve had Harry and I think I am finally ready to commit to a diaper bag.
I spent hours thinking about diaper bag styles while pregnant. I scoured the internet for a great selection of diaper bags, as well as different ideas and styles and a potential designer label option. I could never quite decide on which route to take, but there was one style that seemed to stick with me the most: backpack.
I tested the water with this one, purchased and basically committed myself to this one, but have now officially decided that I am going to stick to either one of these two (Herschel Supply Co and Sole Society), depending on my outfit, of course.
Luckily, the backpack trend is a stylish one, and not one being done out of sheer function. However function is what makes the backpack decision so great. I’m always juggling more than I should – my school tote, workout bag, nine times out of ten a couple of Target bags, and then of course, Harry. Throwing his stuff in a backpack makes all the difference. I am now wishing I just wrote in backpack for president.
So if you are in the same boat that I’m in – either on the verge of needing a diaper bag, or still toying with finding the right one – know that I am now all in on the backpack-as-diaper-bag train. And on that note, and I promise I’m not joking, I’ve got another giveaway for you…
How about another $50 gift card? One to spend at diapers.com, maybe on a diaper bag for yourself or a momma in need in your life? I’m telling you, I totally love makin’ it rain gift cards over here at OUT + OUTFIT. Makes me feel like Ellen. Or Oprah.
And I’m keeping this one simple as well – just drop a comment on this post for a chance! Winner will be chosen at random and announced pretty shortly here – want to make sure you can slide it in before Christmas if need be! Good Luck!

Super cute idea! Love both backpacks :)
Loving that sole society bag Definitely need a diaper bag upgrade!!
Lauren! You’re the big winner of the diapers.com giveaway! Woot woot!
I have been on the search for a diaper bag, for my little one that is on the way. Love this diaper bag!
I love that Sole Society one! The print lining is so much fun! As my baby gets older I find I don’t need so much stuff, and throwing on a stylish backpack seems so much easier than lugging a traditional diaper bag around with you!
Why are there so many diaper bag options?! I love the idea of a backpack one, I currently have a crossbody but a backpack is even easier
I love this idea! And I wouldn’t mind an update to my (few years) old diaper bag!
Love this! Now that I have 2 I’ve been on the lookout for a cute black backpack! Have my eye on one but haven’t made the plunge yet! My petunia pickle bottom back is just too bulky anymore!
Great idea! Love the backpack trend.
Such a great concept, I need to jump on the backpack trend!
Love the backpack look! Why not be stylish and functional at the same time.
The diaper bag is one of those things that you really need to experience before you know what the right thing is…which makes it tricky to buy one! I’ve gradually gravitated toward a (stylish) backpack too.
I adore that Sole Society backpack! it’s so great!
Love the backpack trend! They are so practical but you’re still stylish!
Still in search of a good diaper bag 3 kids later…currently using my purse from college (Smells like two keys) Love the backpacks!
Love back packs as diaper bags!!
Looove the sole society bag!! :)
I have so many thoughts (and some regrets) about diapers bags! I’m more convinced than ever after flying solo from SFO to JFK today with my 8 month old and pulling my adorable (designer) tote back onto my shoulder 8000 times while nearly dropping everything (except the baby who was in his carrier). Even if backpacks go out of style soon, they should become the new standard for diaper bags!!
Baby #4 = ziplock bag with diapers in purse?!?!? Need to suck it up and accept I need a diaper bag again! Backpacks look doable !
That Sole Society bag is PERFECT! I love it!
I just had my 4th baby and I use a backpack diaper bag.
LOVE using backpacks as diaper bags! Once D is a little older and needs less stuff I will definitely be hopping on that train!
Yes! I have a backpack diaper bag and love the functionality, but is not cute :/ time to upgrade!
Those backpacks are beautiful! I would love to swap out my diaper bag for one of those!
I can’t believe using a backpack escaped my mind completely. It would make those long, meandering walks to the library and back with two little ones in tow (and all the books their hearts desire and their cards can check out) so much easier…
I love backpacks for diaper bags! I have a skiphop black one and I love it! Thank you for the giveaway!!!!
I am loving that Sole Society bag!
Love back pack diaper bags! Mine has made my life so much easier! I love having my hands free!
I would love to win!!!
I love the selection at Diapers. com. That bag is really nice.
Backpacks as diaper bags are the best! Especially when traveling
Love them both! I want to be a cute mom like you. Right now I have the petunia pickle bottom one with backpack straps but never use it that way. I should!! Or I should just get a new one!
I love diapers.com! Definitely time to upgrade my bag.
Harry! Hook up your girlfriend Molls with some ca$h money!! ;)
Never been a fan of diaper bags, but those are super cute!
SO stylish! Would love one as an active mommy of three kiddos. These are fashionable yet functional. ❤️
I love the backpack trend for a diaper bag and need a new one. It keeps my hands free to chance my toddler! RIP Kate Spade diaper bag… you’ll have to settle on being a carry on bag.
Those are SUPER CUTE, I would la la LOVE to win!
