If you love to throw a backpack over your shoulders and go this bag is for you. All Ju Ju Be diaper bags are washable and contain antimicrobial material, perfect for when you have to lay your bag down on yucky plane floors. With two insulated bottle pockets, a dedicated ‘Mommy’ pocket with zipped pockets and a sunglasses holder, the Be Right Back also has a fleece-lined smartphone pocket, a hidden zippered pocket on top and, once unzipped, it folds out completely flat with a mesh area perfect for stashing a change of clothes. The changing pad is stored in a separate back zipper, which once removed, makes the perfect place to stash a smaller laptop. The Ju Ju Be Be Right Back comes in a variety of colors and prints and its ergonomic handles and mesh backing mean it’s super comfy to wear as you hit the airport.

This little bargain – retailing for around $65 or less – could easily pass for a work bag. With a secure zip top enclosure, including a dedicated tech pocket, the Skip Hop Duo also has plenty of pockets on the outside along with bottle pockets. It comes with two carry handles and a padded adjustable shoulder strap that can easily be worn crossbody. The changing pad is stored in the back of the bag and makes a great place for stashing magazines, boarding passes and other paperwork once removed. Best of all the bag is lightweight to begin with, so loading up this baby won’t be a drag to carry around. The Skip Hop Duo also has built-in stroller clips that work perfectly to attach the bag to airport carts!

I absolutely love @petuniapicklebottom diaper bags and accessories! I have a few different styles, but as a new mom to two kids the Downtown Tote is perfect for us! The few things I look for in a diaper bag is organization, functionality and versatility. This bag as it all, tons of pockets for organization. Large enough to fit everything I need for a newborn and a two year old. Best of all it doesn't look like a diaper bag so I can even use it even without the kids, talk about versatility! I love pairing this bag with Petunia's other accessories like the powder room case and stroller straps! #guidanceguide #aplaceforparents #mystuffmystory #realreviewsbyrealparents #theplaceswego #petuniapicklebottom #diaperbag #petuniapicklebottomdowntowntote #diaperbagreviews #honestreview #mommyreviews #momoftwo #mbspringrep #BAwannabe #guidanceguide

After one plane ride this bag from Ju Ju Be will definitely become your traveling BFF. There are three ways to carry this well thought out bag – as a handheld, shoulder bag, or backpack. With a plethora of pockets you can be super organized and even stash a smaller laptop inside. With dedicated pockets for insulating bottles, keeping tech and sunglasses safe and corralling all the little things we can misplace along the way, the Ju Ju Be BFF will have you arriving at your destination unruffled and relaxed. Best of all if the BFF becomes dingey on your travels you can simply throw it in the wash and leave it to air dry.
