Best Diaper Caddy 2024 – Forbes Vetted

Keeping diapers, wipes and other commonly used products organized when you have a baby in the house can help daily life go much more smoothly, which is why having the best diaper caddy is a must. When you’re faced with a blowout, you want to know exactly where everything is that you need to get baby cleaned up. The best diaper caddy can also help your home stay organized at a time when things can feel pretty chaotic. “Having a dedicated caddy prevents the scattering of diaper supplies around the house, minimizing clutter and creating a neater living space,” says Heather Aiello, COO and founder at The Organized You.

The Parker Baby Diaper Caddy is my pick for the best diaper caddy organizer overall. It’s sturdy, has a removable compartment divider, and has plenty of pockets to keep everything organized. Other top picks include the Munchkin Brica Out-n-About Collapsible Trunk Organizer & Diaper Changing Station, which is ideal for travel and portability. After reading this story, you might want to learn more about the best diapers and the best changing tables to ensure you have everything ready for baby’s first (or 1,000th) diaper change.

Parker Baby Diaper Caddy

Recommended by both senior baby and kids gear editor editor Rose Gordon Sala and Aiello, the Parker Baby Diaper Caddy is sturdy, budget-friendly and spacious. The felt caddy is available in two sizes (regular and large) and three colors—gray, oatmeal and white. It features eight pockets around the outside and dividers in the main compartment, making it simple to organize all of your supplies. The removable insert allows for further customization and versatility; take it out to turn the caddy into toy storage once your little one no longer wears diapers. It’s also incredibly lightweight at just under 10 ounces.


Luxury Little Diaper Caddy Organizer

At just $20, the Luxury Little Diaper Caddy Organizer is a budget-friendly option that remains valuable long beyond the baby years. Once you remove the insert, you can use the stylish rope basket to store virtually anything. It’s available in two sizes—large and extra larg—and three colors—off-white, off-white and blue, and off-white and pink. Within the caddy, you’ll find two small compartments and one large compartment. If you choose the extra-large size, you’ll also get four inner storage pockets. Though it has a simple design with just three compartments, it’s spacious enough to hold diapers, wipes, diaper rash cream, burp cloths and more. Once you open the caddy, you’ll need to prop it up and let it sit for a bit so that it holds its shape well.


Maliton Changing Table Diaper Organizer

A hanging diaper caddy is useful when you’re short on space or you need to travel with your diaper caddy. The Maliton Changing Table Diaper Organizer can hook to a changing table, travel crib, car or any hanging rod. This is very convenient if you use a travel crib as a changing station or if you just want the essentials hanging nearby at all times. The caddy is very large, offering space to hold more than 50 diapers along with other diapering essentials. There are two main compartments including a top platform that’s ideal for storing wipes and taller items such as bottles. The outside also features mesh pockets for further organization. The caddy is available in five colors: beige, gray, gray cloud, gray star and pink.


Munchkin Brica Out-N-About Collapsible Trunk Organizer & Diaper Changing Station

If you need something to keep in the car or take on a trip, the Munchkin Brica Out-N-About Collapsible Trunk Organizer & Diaper Changing Station is the best diaper caddy organizer for you. Leave it stocked in the trunk of your car so you always have it on the go, or fold it flat in your suitcase and set it up once you arrive at your destination while traveling. The caddy has two large main compartments as well as multiple side pockets. It also comes with a wipes case, bags to dispose of dirty diapers and a changing pad for diaper changes on the go. It also has traction pads on the bottom to keep it from sliding in the car.


Lily Miles Baby Diaper Caddy

The Lily Miles Baby Diaper Caddy is ideal for people who want a caddy that holds everything but they can also easily carry it from one room of their home to another. Aiello recommends looking for a diaper caddy that’s lightweight and has handles to make it easy to transport from room to room. It has three large main compartments as well as multiple outer pockets. The inner divider is also removable if you prefer one large compartment. The fabric is water-resistant, which helps keep it looking nice and makes spills easy to clean. Depending on how you organize it, you can fit an entire box of diapers in the caddy along with other essentials like wipes, swaddle blankets, lotion and teething toys. Choose from large or extra large and three colors: gray/blush, gray/gray or gray/mint.


OXO Tot Diaper Caddy with Changing Mat

Being able to clean your diaper caddy when it inevitably gets covered in spit-up, baby poop and other messes is essential. Because the OXO Tot Diaper Caddy is hard-sided, it’s easy to throw it in the sink to scrub when you’re faced with a large mess. The handle can lock in the top position, or you can pull it down out of your way. Store essentials in the three main compartments on top as well as a drawer that pulls out from the bottom. This is a nice feature for storing diaper rash applicators, diaper rash cream, and other small or messy items. The caddy also comes with a changing mat. It’s definitely not the largest caddy on our list, so it’s best for people who need to store only one or two day’s worth of diapers at a time.


MOST POPULAR

If you’re looking for a diaper caddy that doesn’t look like a diaper caddy, check out the Quinn Stacked Diaper Organizer. It’s designed to sit on a shelf or dresser, and the woven rattan finish makes it look like a purposeful design choice rather than a utilitarian caddy. The stacked caddy has a larger compartment on the bottom and a smaller one on top; there is plenty of room for diapers and other essentials. This caddy is ideal if you want something to stay put in your baby’s nursery rather than something to move from room to room. It’s also a staple piece that can be used to store anything once your baby is out of diapers.


Moteph Extra Large Diaper Caddy

As babies become toddlers, they like to get into everything, and the zipper on the Moteph Extra Large Diaper Caddy keeps them out… at least for a little while. Zip it up to keep the contents inside, and roll the cover out of the way when you want the caddy open. There are three main compartments inside separated by a removable divider and eight pockets around the outside. It’s available in gray or tan, and you can choose to purchase it with or without a changing mat. With a larger size and lots of pockets, you’ll have room to store all of the larger diapers, clothes, toys and extra items toddlers require.
