You would never buy a purse with baby bears all over it, so why buy a diaper bag like that when you're carrying it just as much? These grown-up bags don't scream that they have bottles and wipes inside, and most will carry you from playdate to date night. Best of all, most are under $100.

Feeling Tweedy

Credit: Courtesy of Wal-Mart

Why We Love It: We're all about the menswear trend these days, and this tote helps us pull it together. This bag's shiny black details, silver hardware, and herringbone print will fit right in with the trousers, vests, and collared shirts that are en pointe right now.

  • AD Sutton Herringbone Fashion Diaper Bag Tote, $27, available at www.walmart.com

Steel Yourself

Credit: Courtesy of Skip Hop

Why We Love It: Let us count the ways: There's the it-couldn't-be-a-diaper bag shape, the way it switches to a stroller bag, the eco-friendly, PVC-free materials and -- wow -- 14 pockets to keep all those binkies and bottles contained. We're also impressed by the pockets lined with Agion antibacterial technology to minimize germs.

  • Studio Diaper Tote, $89, available at www.skiphop.com

Purple Reign

Why We Love It: With its designer good looks, unexpected eggplant color, and crisp white trim, we think this pricey diaper bag is worth the big bucks. And if you still need reason to justify the expense, remember that glam mamas Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolie, and Courteney Cox all carry T & L bags.

  • Aurelie Bag, $168, a list of retailers available at www.timiandleslie.com

Why We Love It: Created by Bachelorette star Trista Sutter (now a mom), this roomy earth-mama bag is made from organic hemp in an exotic, Indian-inspired print.

Go Boho

Credit: Courtesy of Wal-Mart

Why We Love It: Slouchy boots -- check. Peasant blouse -- check. If you're rocking the Bohemian look, this bag will fit right in (for under 25 bucks, at that). We love the magnetic snap top, which means the bag won't gape open even if you don't have the free hands to close it.

  • Corduroy Diaper Bag, $23, available at www.walmart.com

Gold 'n' Pink Luxury

Why We Love It: When it's not helping you schlep your baby stuff, this uber-trendy, ginormous tote can also be used as a weekend bag. Switch between the shoulder strap and shorter handles depending on the day.

  • Gladiola Bag, $120, available at www.amykathryn.com

Dude, Where's My Diaper?

Credit: Courtesy of Diaper Dude

Why We Love It: If Mom and Dad switch off on diaper duty, this is the tote for you. This functional and easy-on-the-eyes messenger-style bag is totally gender neutral, so no more switching out bags. Loaded with all the frills that you've come to expect from a diaper bag, plus an ergonomic design, it houses all of your baby's paraphernalia in one sleek package.

  • Original Diaper Dude, $60, available at www.diaperdude.com

Flying High

Credit: Courtesy of Target

Why We Love It: If you're a Chucks-and-tee kind of gal, we've found your bag. This boxy messenger bag, with a gold, screenprinted plane sillo on the side, has a whopping 12 inside pockets, an easy-to-clean plastic material, and an extra-wide strap. It also attaches easily to a stroller. We love that it feels so city mama.

  • Cevan Metro by Allen Ave. Vintage Biplane Diaper Bag, $100, available at www.target.com

The Anti-Diaper Bag

Credit: Courtesy of Kit + lili

Why We Love It: There's no law that says you must buy a diaper bag once you have a baby. Really, any bag can do the trick as long as it has enough room to hold the essentials. So use this reversible (love that!) tote through the baby years and well beyond.

  • Kit+Lili Big Circles Tote Bag, $78, available at www.kitlili.com

Go Anywhere

Credit: Courtesy of Loom

Why We Love It: This super-sturdy, water-resistant bag has a sporty, urban appeal -- it would easily double as a gym bag or a work bag (the changing pad, once cleaned, can even be used to cushion a laptop).

  • Loom Go Tote, $95, available at www.letsgostrolling.com

Show Us Your Stripes

Credit: Courtesy of Skip Hop

Why We Love It: The super popular Skip Hop Duo becomes a standout when it's in this playful striped print. This deluxe version of the bag is 30 percent larger than the original, and it clips easily to your stroller.

  • Duo Deluxe Edition, $54, available at www.skiphop.com

Green with Envy

Credit: Courtesy of Reese Li

Why We Love It: This weather-poof, wipe-clean tote in preppy-with-an-edge paisley will might make your non-mom friends jealous. The inside accessories have a high-end feel with cute illustrations on them. Converts easily to a stroller bag and can also fit a laptop.

  • Marine Tadpole Bag, $150, available at www.reeseli.com

Bow Down

Why We Love It: It's ladylike-classic in every way, from the pistachio and cocoa color combo to the mix-n-match patterns. Three magnetic snap closures are convenient when your arms are full of baby.

  • Bella Tunno Diaper Bag, $59, available at www.gap.com

Black Beauty

Why We Love It: This might be the LBD (little black dress) of your bag collection. Basic black gets extra oomph from a subtle Asian-inspired print. Multiple compartments keep all your baby gear in place.

  • Merona Slouch Diaper Bag, $20, available at www.target.com

Funky Divas

Credit: Courtesy of OiOi

Why We Love It: Prints can turn a bag into a statement, but something too "out there" won't work for everyday use. That's why we're digging this subtle, goes-with-jeans patterned tote. A soft cotton strap is easy on the shoulders, and a key fob eliminates excursions to the nether regions of your purse.

  • Blue Floral Disc Diaper Bag, $120, available at www.oioibabybags.com

Solid Gold

Credit: Courtesy of Toys R' Us

Why We Love It: You're one hot mama, and you need a hot bag to match. This bold bag, made of faux patent leather, has lots of pockets plus a bright pink changing pad. (Who couldn't use a little glamour when dealing with diaper duty?)
