Top 5 Small Baby Diaper Bags Under Fifteen Dollars

By , About.com Guide

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.

1. 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.

2. 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.

Basic black is always in style, and this simple nylon tote from Baby Sac is a perfect example of that. It's surprisingly roomy inside, and has a couple of pockets outside for your phone and other essentials, too. You can choose from a sweet pink or blue liner, which is nice so you're not searching for stuff in a dark pit of a bag. Not bad for a diaper bag that costs less than $15!

There's a zipper pocket inside, too, so you can stash little items for safekeeping. The sturdy material and anti-microbial treatment will help the Be Quick tote hold up nicely and prevent it from picking up any funky diaper-related smells.

5. Samsonite Signature Mini Diaper Bag

With insulated storage, bottle pockets and strap snaps that attach to some strollers, the durable Samsonite Signature mini diaper bag doesn't fall short of the features on many larger, more expensive diaper bags. The double-zippered top opening and front pocket make organization simple. The sleek black exterior is accented with white checks for a classic, stylish look.
