Before you consider design and appearance you should probably review some of the features that experienced mothers often claim are indispensable in a quality baby changing bag.  Several easy to access pockets, lightweight, but durable material and easy to clean because of possible spills, are the minimum requirements for a serviceable changing bag.

There are numerous styles and designs, from backpacks to totes to sling and messenger bags.   Likewise, there are an abundance of materials and colors, from basic black to outlandish wild color mixtures.  Sienna, Timberland and Colombia make some rather attractive, masculine bags perfect for dad.  Eddie Bauer and JJ Cole have several smart looking totes and diaper bags that are sleek looking yet lightweight and exceedingly functional.

The price range for changing bags ranges as widely as the selection.  However, even some of the quality brands mentioned above manufacture bags that retail in the $25 to $35 range.  Of course you could conceivably spend well in excess of $100 if you opt for a designer baby changing bag.  The Ju-Ju-Be Brown Bubblegum Be Prepared tote changing bag, for example, retails for $180.  You can pay similar prices or even more for bags made by Pink Lining and OiOi.  The OiOi red leather Hobo Diaper bag is incredibly attractive, but you will need to pay in excess of $250 to turn out in this designer article.
