Calpak’s bags hit right where value for money and style intersect, but so far the luggage and bag line has been focused on adults. Now, however, the brand has launched its first collection designed to make life a little smoother for parents traveling with babies.
The Baby Collection includes the Diaper Tote Bag With Laptop Sleeve, Convertible Mini Diaper Backpack, Diaper Backpack With Laptop Sleeve, Portable Changing Pad Clutch and Convertible Stroller Caddy Crossbody, as well as the option of adding on a set of stroller straps for the diaper bag.
The bags all feature a slew of features that aim to make parenthood just a little more manageable: insulated bottle pockets; pockets designed specifically for baby wipes; toxin-free, recycled Oeko-Tex Standard 100 textiles that also happen to be liquid-resistant (because spills happen); and comfy padded straps to save your back and shoulders.
Each piece is available in black, Oatmeal, Hazelnut, Slate, Peony and Lime colorways, meaning there are a ton of neutral options, plus some kid-friendly pops of color. We’re so excited about this launch that we included it in our 2024 Watch List, so keep reading for a breakdown of the new baby goods.
As its name implies, this crossbody pretty much does it all: It functions as a storage-packed crossbody, complete with two bottle sleeves, tons of pockets and expandable sides, and you’ll get stroller straps to swap out when you want to hang it up.
If you prefer a backpack to a crossbody, this do-it-all style has a laptop pocket (up to 14 inches) for when you’re juggling work emails with parent duty, and it comes with a luggage trolly sleeve with a hidden pocket for travel days, plus multiple bottle pockets. (If you want to modify the bag for a stroller, you can buy the set of two stroller straps for $28 separately.)
This isn’t just any tote bag — it comes with all the internal organization you need in a diaper bag (see: the genius baby wipe pocket), plus a removable, adjustable, padded shoulder strap to transform it into a crossbody. Don’t forget your laptop, which fits in up to 16 inches.
A decked-out backpack for diaper duty, just smaller. It’s still water-resistant, it comes with insulated bottle pockets and it has a tablet sleeve included.
When you’re just carrying the basics — or you want to add it into a larger bag — this changing pad disguised as a clutch is here for when nature calls. It comes with a detachable pad, a collapsible hanging hook, a couple big pockets (including one just for baby wipes) and room enough for your phone, keys and wallet too.
