But if you're more of a minimalist parent, or just looking for something to take with you on hikes or shorter outings, this is a great option.

Though both bags are made of polyester, Ruvalino's has more of a shiny-fabric quality, while the BabbleRoo appears more like cloth (though this may be due to the colors I selected).I should note that this diaper bag came in third in terms of keeping a bottle warm in the insulated pocket, after the Skip Hop Forma and the Béis, but far ahead of most other contenders, including the Freshly Picked and Herschel diaper bags.

I also almost always found a change of clothes necessary for newborns and younger babies more prone to blowouts, accidents and heavy spit-up. Look for a diaper bag with both lots of storage space and plenty of pockets and compartments to organize all of your baby essentials. The built-in stroller snaps were nicely spaced out, and I appreciated that they were built-in, so I could avoid forgetting them at home. The diaper bag usually has either two handles to carry it in-hand or a long strap that can go crossbody or over your shoulder. You will find excellently insulated bottle pockets and water-resistant fabric for any accidental spills or leaks.

I wore each bag for a full day, taking extensive notes on the functionality of the features, comfort, durability, maintenance, value, aesthetic, size and weight. Each helped me to hone in on important factors like weight distribution for spinal health, bag features ideal for parent life and the best fabric choices to ensure a durable bag. But what really qualifies me most to review diaper bags is my primary job as a mother to an active 2 1/2-year-old son. I tapped into my network of fellow parents on social media, in parent-and-me groups, my friend group and our preschool community to further build on the suggestions of which diaper bags to include in my experiment.

Multiple pockets with easy-glide zippers make this nappy-changing backpack easily accessible with one hand. Also like the Forma, you'll find a changing pad and two pockets in the main compartment, but otherwise, it's up to you to organize as you please (or just throw everything in). In my personal life I’ve purchased seven diaper bags in an effort to make my outings and daily life easier.Lastly, the bag’s insulated bottle warmer can be cinched tighter depending on the circumference of the bottle, which no doubt helped this diaper bag achieve the second-smallest temperature change in the hot water test, dropping to 90.

But for me, the BabbleRoo wins due to the thicker cushioning on the straps, the three insulated bottle holders instead of two, and the addition of stroller clips and the pacifier holder.

Think about what your typical week with a baby might look like (harder said than done before your first arrives, I know): Will you mostly be throwing a bag in the car and driving to visit family, run errands or do a daycare drop-off?
