So you’ve made it to the toddler years and you’ve quickly learned the importance of keeping your hands free. And now you’re looking for a few cool backpacks for moms with toddlers to choose from, right?
During toddlerhood they want to bring all the things for a day out and, well, we pick our battles. Any parent can tell you during the toddler years you might want to proceed with caution to prevent those tantrums.
Depending on whether you have a younger toddler or an older toddler, the size of the backpack and the number of compartments matter significantly.
Consider size as well. If you have one child, there’s a lot less you need as they get older. But if you have multiple children, you may still want to go with a larger backpack to accommodate everyone, including your things.
There are backpacks for moms with toddlers that range from small to large.
If you’re a mom on the go, the quality is just as important. It needs to be of good quality. Otherwise, you will spend a lot of time looking for a new bag and spending extra money because what you purchased didn’t last very long.
Something else to consider when choosing a mom backpack. Can you still use it well past the toddler years, if you wanted to? As long as you have children, there’s always something that needs to be brought along. Keep durability in mind.
What type of backpack are you looking for? Do you want something you can carry as a purse? Are you a family that loves to travel? Do you have multiple toddlers or a toddler and older children? Consider your needs and pick accordingly.
In this post, you will find a wide range of toddler backpacks for moms, from backpack purses for moms to stylish backpacks for moms for every budget.

Backpack For Traveling Moms
We absolutely love traveling with our now 4-year-old. He’s rough and loves running wild. So having good quality and sturdy backpacks for moms with toddlers is a must.
We took him on his first international trip when he was 18 months to Lisbon, Barcelona, and Rome. We’ve been hooked ever since. Roaming around Europe for a few weeks, I stuffed my backpack to the gills and roughed it up a bit, but it held up like new. A quick wipe down here and there, and it lasted for a few years.
Here are some of the best traveling backpacks for moms.
City Backpack- If you’ve been around for a bit, then you know I talk about this backpack a lot. The Honest Company City backpack is one of my favorites and I had it for a few years before moving on to the Indi Diaper Backpack.
If you have more than one child, the amount of space this backpack provides makes it a fantastic option to take care of everyone’s needs. For me, the Honest City was the best mom travel backpack when traveling with my toddler and an outstanding backpack for new moms.
- Vegan leather.
- Extremely functional.
- Spacious.
- Compartments for bottles and snacks.
- 5 pockets
- Changing mat with zippered pocket
Herschel Settlement Backpack- If you are looking for a carry-on backpack, then surely you’re a mom who enjoys traveling. A good carry-on backpack for moms is the Settlement Sprout. The Settlement is not only trendy with 6 different styles to choose from, but it’s also an ideal backpack for moms on the go.
Depending on the style you choose, there wouldn’t be any need to get dad a separate backpack. This one will work for both of you.
The Strand Duffle Sprout is an excellent carry-on as well. Throw it on crossbody, on the shoulder, or on your stroller.
What’s included with a Sprout:
- 26L capacity and the duffle is 28L.
- A changing pad that is rather large, making it perfect for toddlers.
- Space for wipes, bottles, and toys.
- External and internal pockets.
These two are the best Herschel bag options for moms.
Indi Diaper Backpack- Another multi-functional favorite backpack of mine is the Indi backpack. It’s an incredible everyday backpack to use and the best for moms needing to upgrade their backpacks.
The Indi comes in 3 sizes-small, medium, and large, and 4 colors with seasonal colors thrown in. But when the seasonal colors are gone, they are gone!
The small or medium is a good choice for moms with toddlers. The large might be best for moms with multiples or still in the newborn phase.

- (2) External front zipper pockets.
- Insulated bottle holder.
- Inside pockets with magnetic closure and velcro.
- Luggage sleeve.
- Clips for stroller attachment.
