Diaper Bag on a Budget

thompnia · November 2014

I know we've talked diaper bags, but the ones that keep coming up are out of my price range. Anyone have a good recommendation for something ~$50 or less?

I got a free one from the hospital filled with Enfamil goodies, and used it a lot because it was vinyl and easy to clean. For a cuter one, I got a Bumble Bag from a baby convention for $40 when I was pregnant with DD. And just last week, I got a Vera Bradley bag online for $44. Try Ebay...and see if there are any baby/kids consignment sales in your area.

There's a bunch at Target, $30-40.

I got this one at my baby shower.

I'm just going to use the free one from the hospital until I find a nice oversized purse on clearance somewhere.

You could also try Amazon- they have lots of diaper bags that are less than $50 dollars.

Consignment shops - the one near my parents always seems to have pricey ones for $30 or so. Barely used!

We got our Jeep diaper bag backpack for $40 at Burlington. It has lots of compartments and is super comfy. We are already using it for DS's stuff.

I bought a Skip Hop bag at Winners (Canadian TJ MAXX/Marshalls), they had loads of good ones there. I paid $35, and the online listing was double that.

Burlington, Marshalls, TJ Maxx are all good options - but it does take a little luck.

I also saw some on sale at Toys R Us for $19.99 - they looked pretty good!

Check out discount stores like Ross, marshall's TJ Maxx, Tuesday Morning, etc. You can usually find a decent quality one for $15-$30. That's where I found my past few. If you don't abuse your bag, it should last a couple years or until you get tired of it. I tortured mine and ended up having to buy about one a year.

I never used a diaper bag. Just bags I already had. I'm on my 3rd and don't plan on getting a diaper bag for this one either. (I'm picky about bags though. I don't like most of them)

I bought a kalencom one second-hand for $20, so I'm pretty excited about that! Check out consignment shops or thrift stores, most towns have the "for sale/wanted" pages on Facebook too!

Edvent · November 2014

I got a great one on walmart.com last time for about $20. I still have it but found a skip hop one I loved on Amazon for $59, so now we have 2.

We bought a Gerber diaper bag from Amazon for about $35 and it worked great with DS.

It doesn't have to be a "diaper" bag. I did have a few diaper bags, but I ended up preferring a purse that I used as a diaper bag.

BriannaCaitlin · November 2014

I got a Vera Bradley "Get Carried Away" bag on Amazon for $70. I got lucky- the day after I ordered it, it went from $70 to $92. We didn't find any actual diaper bags we liked, so just a big bag is what we decided on.

I got my Vera Bradley backpack diaper bag for under $50. They have quite a few patterns on sale and usually have coupons to add on too.

Beauxbaton · November 2014

I used just a big purse with DS and then put organizing things in it. Like little bags kinda. It worked. This time I bought a real diaper bag cause I'll be using it for a 16 month old and a newborn and I want to keep things separate.

I got mine from big lots for 16 bucks and its cute(: its Gerber .

We got this one from BRU with a 20% off coupon ($49 before coupon). My husband is going to be a stay at home dad 3 days/week and he wanted something more messenger bag like.
