Skip Hop Forma Diaper Backpack (for mommy)
+ Skip Hop Duo Diaper Backpack (for daddy)
Even at full capacity, these diaper bags can be worn quite comfortably or attached to the handles of our Bugaboo Cameleon3 (on city streets) or Babyzen Yoyo+ (in the subway) using the stroller clips conveniently built into the shoulder straps. Visit STWFU for our full reviews.

The Metro Tote by MZ Wallace + Life in Play ToteSavvy Organizational Tote Insert
We use MZ Wallace’s (large) Metro Tote for travel. The wide opening provides easy access to all the contents and the top zip closure ensures that no items tumble out when shoved under an airline seat or squeezed into an overhead bin. Water- and stain-resistent material, inner slots and pockets, and three removable zip pouches are just a few of its great features. To further MOMganize our travel essentials, we combined it with the ToteSavvy Organizational Tote Insert by Life in Play. Visit STWFU for our full review of both this tote and organizer.
