2. L.L. Bean Boat and Tote® Zip-Top

A reviewer shared in part, "A must-have!! Perfect for moms of infants, toddlers, and busy kids. Great for the beach or boat, a trip to grandma's, storage in the car, and even for college (sic)!"

3. Hap Tim Diaper Backpack

4. Jujube BFF Convertible Diaper Bag

It comes with detachable and adjustable straps so you can wear it any way you like, and it provides enough space and structure for you and your child's needs. A reviewer shared in part, "I love this bag! It is super functional and I love the material (it) is wipeable. I love the straps and the overall look of it."

5. Landon Neoprene Carryall Bag

Bean Boat and Tote® Zip-Top, the Landon Neoprene Carryall Bag is the perfect piece of luggage for the traveling mom, as its compact size offers the option to bring it on the plane when flying.

6. Lo & Sons Catalina Deluxe

The Lo & Sons Catalina Deluxe is another tote perfect for the traveling mother. It is an excellent purchase for any chic mom wanting to combine style and an eco-friendly, family-friendly travel bag with a hand luggage-friendly size bag for flying.
