Getting ready for baby can be expensive! Save a few dollars on your baby's diaper bag without sacrificing durability or style by choosing a budget diaper bag that is cheap in price, but not in quality. While budget diaper bags are often smaller and less feature-rich than more expensive bags, most parents find that they don't really need a large diaper bag or fancy features. The following diaper bags, all under $15, are easy to use and friendly to your budget.

This basic nylon diaper bag is small but has space for baby's essentials, as well as a parent's keys, phone and wallet. The Foogo fashion diaper bag is available in black with either a pink or blue ribbon trim around the bottom for a stylish touch. A changing pad is included with this diaper bag. There are two zipper compartments in it so you can keep things separated or organized.
2. Jeep Mini Multi-Pocket Diaper Bag

The Jeep Mini Multi-Pocket diaper bag is a sporty, bucket style bag that is perfect for outdoors-loving families. Rubber bottom guards and the nylon bag exterior keep dirt and dampness away from your baby's gear. The padded handle makes it comfortable to carry even when you have it stuffed full of snacks, diapers and other outing essentials. There are six smaller storage pockets to keep things organized, and the little flaps over the pockets help keep everything in place. There is also a larger section in the middle with a drawstring top.
3. JJ Cole Essentials Diapers & Wipes Pod

This ultra-compact diaper bag is made to hold a few diapers and a travel case of wipes, plus the included changing pad. A small back pocket leaves room for a few parent items, too. I love the wipe-clean exterior of the JJ Cole Diapers & Wipes Pod and the changing pad. They come in several cute patterns that will stay cute since the outside can easily be cleaned off with a baby wipe. The magnet closure on the front pocket keeps your diaper supplies in place but is easy to open with one hand if you're holding a wiggly baby with the other.
4. Diaper Bag Express

With dimensions of about 12 inches by 6 inches by 3 inches, the Diaper Bag Express is quite a bit smaller than the average diaper bag, but it holds plenty of must-have baby gear. You can stash diapers, wipes, creams and maybe even a spare outfit inside this sleek zippered bag. Internal compartments keep everything in place, and a good-sized changing pad that fits inside is included. Carry it alone, use it to make any larger bag into a diaper bag, or use the buckle strap to attach the Diaper Bag Express to a stroller handle.
5. Classic Pooh Satellite Changer Mini Diaper Bag

Although this multi-colored striped diaper bag is from the Classic Pooh collection, the only homage to Winnie is a small label on the front. The satellite mini changer is not a full sized diaper bag, but it can easily hold diapers, wipes (in the included travel wipes case), the included mini changing pad, and a few other essentials like diaper cream and a parent's phone. A little "leash" on the inside can be used to clip keys or a pacifier so they're easy to find. The vinyl liner makes cleanups easy.
6. Diapees & Wipees Diaper Case

The simplicity of the Diapees & Wipees compact diaper case is what makes it so cool. This cloth pouch holds two to four diapers and a travel case of wipes, and it can be used alone for quick trips or as an organizing tool for a larger purse or diaper bag. This compact diaper bag would be perfect for parents of toddlers who are beyond the "need everything you can fit in a diaper bag" stage. Available in many colors and patterns from retro to modern.
