Paperclip The Jojo
Yes, The Jojo by Paperclip is a great looking bag on its own. But it’s one of our favorite bags because of the integrated changing table, which extends like a moving truck’s ramp, is the smartest on this list. Removable and machine-washable, while attached, it provides a clean, soft surface that also has wing-like vertical buttresses that create a changing pad that pops up anywhere — and prevents your child from inadvertently rolling off. The main compartment is further divided by padded “cubbies” for essentials, while super cush padded straps ensure the whole package isn’t digging into your traps by day’s end. Stylish form and ingenious function move this bag to the top of our list. Buy Now $169
Tactical Baby Gear Deuce 2.0 and Changing Mat
Okay, it’s pretty aggressive with the military styling. But if that’s your thing, go for it. With the Tactical Baby Gear Deuce 2.0 and Changing Mat, you’re ready to bust in the door of fatherhood. This overbuilt messenger-style bag includes a fold-out mat with a “drop zone” target for perfect posterior placement every time. We loved the handiness of nylon webbing daisychains, Velcro patches, and five exterior pockets for on-the-go access to and securing of sundries. Buy Now $99
Skip Hop Duo Signature Diaper Bags
Whether you use it as a tote, shoulder, or stroller bag, the Skip Hop Duo Signature Diaper Bag is a sleek, minimalist approach that we found to nevertheless have a wide range of uses. The included changing pad, at one foot by two feet, is the biggest we’ve seen, but it was the massive number of pockets—10—that really impressed the OCD tick in us. For those looking to file away everything in its right place, this is your choice.
