Hi, All,
Could you tell me where to find a small tote or handbag that can keep two sippy cups, two diapers, checkbook, wallet, phone, keys, etc. in order? I prefer one that is NOT made of animal products (e.g. leather) and is not HUGE. I have a small tote (approx. 12"x7"x4"), but there are not enough compartments in it to keep the contents organized.
Thanks,
L. E
Thank you for many great ideas! I chose a messenger bag from the suggestions you gave me. I can't wait to give friends and relatives other bags you suggested.

i love, le sportsac, at macy's or nordstrom, i can find them at Marshalls sometimes too, i have a few but my fav is a 3 pocket one that is soo accesible, I have 2 in different patterns, you can look them up online, the compartments are great I never lose my wallet or keys in a diaper
I have an older model Prada nylon bag that I purchased years ago (... a long time before the baby! :0) It has a long, adjustable strap, a top zipper and 2 front pockets. It works really well as a small diaper bag and it wipes clean. You might want to try finding similar styles at Eddie Bower. I hope this helps!
I would suggest a small messengerbag or camera bag. There are a gazillion option for either.
Also Land of Nod has a ton of options. Most are more expensive than the above, but most are also waterproof. :) They also have the best styles I've come across.
I have the perfect bag for you. Check out www.gigihillbags.com/N.
The diaper bag as well as the larger hand bags have everything you are looking for, including sippy cup/water bottle holders, easy access pockets for cell phone, sun glasses, etc and a key fab so you can easily find your keys and they won't fall out.
The 'Carol' is the diaper bag, but the 'Sophia & Audrey' will also meet all your needs and doubles as a handbag.
Fashion and function! You will love these bags!
I hope that helps...N.
I fell in love with diaper bags by JuJuBe (designed by moms!). They have a bunch of styles, all designed to hold sippy cups, diapers, etc. And they come in a several sizes, ranging from small to large. They also have a great selection on material patterns and I think they are all machine washable (hooray!). Check out their website - think it's www.ju-ju-be.com. And found some good prices, selection and service at www.littledudesanddivas.com. Good luck! :)
I used a gardening bag
it's canvas, pretty inexpensive, lots of outside pockets, sits flat. one bad thing, the pockets are on the outside, and dont zip.
I love the hand bags (and diaper bags) that a mom on eBay custom makes (with room for things like sippy cups). She has an eBay store where you can pick out premade bags etc, or get one custom made. :)

All items are custom made and she's having a sale on a few items right now! :)
Good luck!!
Check out this mama owned business for bags! She is the mother of a kid at our pre-school, very sweet. Always great to see the little guy succeed!
Check out the adorable bags from Chickpea baby... They're vinyl, super durable, functional with tons of pockets and most of all very pretty. there's a full line of handbags and messenger bags too if the Diaper Bag is too big for you. I've had my purse from Queen Bee Creations (same company, but for hanbags only) for years and it's still in beautiful shape and I ALWAYS get tons of compliments whenever I carry it. http://www.queenbee-creations.com/categories/52/items
