New here - need help with a bag

[danismom_05]

Hi everyone, I'm new to this board. I'm in search of a smallish
diaper bag. My daughter is 13 months old and I just don't need all
the room in my current bag (undiaper bag by Babystyle). I have a Skip
Hop but I prefer that one just for my stroller. I'd like one
bag that's good for grocery shopping and also going out to dinner.
I'm thinking of the Be Small or the Mini Sling Tote. I don't really
like the patterns on the Be Small, but I think the size might be good.
I need something to hold diapers, a sippy, some snacks, maybe a toy or book, and my wallet, cell phone, keys. I'm not sure if the bags I'm looking at are too small, but I don't want something too big either. What are your thoughts on the bags I mentioned, and do you have any other bags I should be looking at?

TIA,
Leslie

I think the Mini sling tote would work, I just ordered the regular size sling tote but saw the mini at the store...it looks like a nice size and I think it would fit everything you listed. I loved it but thought it was just too small for me...I have a newborn on the way! You also might think about the LE Little Tripper. I had that with my first and loved it for quick trips!

Check out the Deluxe Everyday Bag from Lesportsac. I have been carrying one for months now. It's very verasatile and stuffable for those times when you do need to bring a bit more.

Take a look at Overland Equipment's "Donner" Bag:

I was just at Nordstroms today shopping with my DS and saw another mom with her child using a Donner like mine. Exact same color, too! We complimented each other on our bags, LOL!

I just bought an Overland Loie. It's a tad smaller than the Lands End Little Tripper, but works fine for me. There's a review by me on ebags.com. I like that it looks more like a purse than a diaper bag.

What about the Mini Mothership? I just saw a leopard one online that looks cute. But I don't know if it's still too big or not?
