The Holly Aiken Airship Diaper Bag is a perfect size for daily use with enough room for you to pack all you’ll need for a day outing with baby. Messenger bags aren’t my favorites these days because the large flap tends to get in the way of getting to what you need easily. I found this to be the major drawback of the Airship design. The bag is made of a sturdy (but bulky) vinyl material which makes the flap that much more cumbersome.

What it does have going for it, though, is the simple, understated design that doesn’t cry out “diaper bag.” The adjustable strap is wide and comfortable, and it has exterior and interior pockets for organizing all your baby stuff. It also comes in dad-friendly color schemes. Price: $174 at Holly Aiken.
