This spacious backpack from JuJuBe unzips all the way around and has convenient storage throughout, meaning you won’t have to dig through an overloaded diaper bag to find what you need. It also comes with a removable changing pad. Plus, there are helpful pockets, including an insulated bottle holder and a compartment for wipes.

The lie-flat feature was so nice when packing the bag.”

TEST RESULTS: Parent testers loved how it looked nothing like a diaper bag and said it was useful for both everyday and travel needs.
