I recently switched to this tote bag from Target and combined my purse and diaper bag in one. It’s called the Merona Reversible Tote Bag and it comes in a lot of colors and a removable pouch. Priced at $36.99, it’s definitely an affordable option.
Now that my little is 10 months old, I’ve found I don’t reach for things in the diaper bag as much. It was super easy to make the switch and I love that I can throw things in here and find them easily instead of rummaging through a million compartments when I’m also holding a baby that thinks she can jump out of my arms and run away.
There are many reasons why I’m loving using a reversible tote bag. If one side gets dirty, just turn it inside out. I also love throwing things in the bag and not having to worry about organizing them. Yes, organization is great but when you are in the middle of checking out at the store and can’t remember which compartment is holding your debit card and which compartment is holding the baby’s pacifier, you are going to wish you could see the entire contents of your bag easily.
Here are a few other tote bags (some reversible, some not) that we love and would totally use as a diaper bag:

7 years agoThat looks perfect! I’m a huge fan of a big “mommy bag” as opposed to a traditional diaper bag. And that bag is super cute too!

7 years agoI think it’s amazing that it’s reversible! But if you wanted to just use one side or the other it’s the PERFECT bag for a monogram.

7 years agoI’m desperately wanting to switch to a big chic mommy bag from diaper bag but the ones I’ve seen have been sooo expensive. This is super cute!

7 years agoI honestly still just use a backpack. Probably will for another few months and will just throw all his stuff in one of my giant purses.
