Hello Jaclyn! Do you have any ideas for a diaper bag alternative? I'm thinking of a well organized carry all that doesn't scream

Sure!

First I’ll list some actual diaper bags (that don’t look like the typical diaper bag) and then some other totes that could double as diaper bags.

For what it’s worth, I used my Skip Hop Versa in black ($59) until VERY recently. It just worked so great for me. I loved wearing it crossbody and it fit perfectly across the back of our stroller. The insulated pockets were good for carrying bottles (or juice/water) and keeping it cold. It is just a fantastic diaper bag and I still use it when we have longer days out. It looks pretty sleek for a diaper bag. I’m a huge fan. (Skip Hop’s new gray stripe Duo ($64) looks really good too.)

If you want something a bit more casual, this gray tote from Pottery Barn Kids ($119) is so cute. I love that it’s monogrammable. It can be carried crossbody too. It’s available in a slightly different shape too (for $149).

Matt & Nat diaper bags are gorgeous. This gray faux leather one ($199) is fantastic. The cognac version is available for pre-order. This bag is so sleek that it would make a great commuter bag or carry-all once you don’t need it for diaper bag duty anymore.

The Danzo Baby canvas tote in natural/black looks so chic. It can be worn crossbody too. It’s $195.

Timi & Leslie’s Charlie diaper bag ($160) is really clean and minimal. It looks like it has tons of interior pockets too. LOVE.

Okay—let’s move on to bags that aren’t diaper bags but COULD work as diaper bags.

Fossil’s crossbody Sydney satchel came to mind ($178). It’s not too big, not too small and has a few pockets inside. This might be a stronger choice if you don’t have to haul around tons of bottles, blankets, toys, clothes, diapers—but if you are still carrying around a big haul of stuff, this is probably not large enough.

This Urban Originals tote ($90) is backordered, but it looks perfect. It has lots of space for organizing inside and can be worn crossbody.

ZARA’s Citybag ($89.90) is a good option too. It’s not super big, but it has lots of pockets for organizing your things.

Also—do check out the bags from Lo & Sons. They’re not cheap (most are over $200) but they’re really spacious and designed specifically for organization.

Last, Etsy has a lot of sellers offering unique and thoughtful diaper bags. Ikabags is a popular store. I love this one from Kinies. This one from SheetaDesign is great.
