Moms do it all! They’re the ultimate multitasking masters, able to juggle what seems like thousands of different responsibilities every day — all while showing their babies some serious love. Let’s be honest — it can be downright exhausting, even with another parent helping out. That’s why we love any little thing we can find that can help make a busy mom’s life easier.
One absolute must-have to add to your baby shower registry (or grab for another mom) is a great tote. Whether you have a newborn or toddlers, staying organized with a large tote is so helpful. There are so many things to carry around, from diapers, to first aid, to snacks, to changes of clothes and more. A tote can help save you the trouble of last-minute runs to the store or back home!
Searching for the best tote bags for moms was more than just picking out some cute colors. We considered a variety of factors while curating this list, including these top concerns:

Best Bag for Moms With Newborns
If your baby is wearing diapers, having a specifically-designed diaper bag is essential! This one is the best we found, featuring not only a large main compartment, but also a bottle and utensil holder, a pacifier pouch, a wipes case and a changing pad. It has a bunch of extra exterior pockets as well!
Here’s another diaper bag, featuring nine exterior pockets and eight interior pockets for what we can only define as organization heaven. If you’re going to be out all day and your back already hurts imagining carrying around a big bag for hours on end, definitely check this one out. It can be carried three ways: as a tote, as a messenger bag or by your baby’s stroller — it comes with stroller clips!
This leakproof bag uses insulated liner technology to keep food/liquids warm or cold for up to 14 hours so you’re always ready with a treat whenever your little one starts to get hangry. We love the extra large size, specifically, because you can fit other things inside of it too. The fewer bags you have to carry, the better!
If you love carrying around designer bags, you can certainly keep up the theme with your tote. This recycled nylon Tory Burch bag has a patent trim and will look ultra-sleek to anyone who spots you. They don’t have to know about all of the mama-related stuff you’ll store inside!
Available at: Tory Burch, Nordstrom
Want something that feels extra special? You can choose any letter of the alphabet to appear as a monogram on this canvas tote. Either go with Mom’s initial or opt for using the first letter of a new baby’s name. We absolutely love this for gifting to someone else (but we’d totally grab one for ourselves too)!
If you’re looking for a pick for an eco-conscious mama, this sustainable bag is perfect. It’s consciously crafted with recycled cotton! It also has lots of different pockets of different sizes, can be carried multiple ways and has loops you can clip keys to (whether they’re real or plastic toy keys)!
Being a mom can be expensive! With so many things to constantly buy for growing children, we totally get it if you want to find something priced on the lower side for your go-to tote. This “Mom Things” tote is fun but simple and sleek, and it’s nice and roomy for carrying around anything and everything you may need as the years pass!
On the other hand, many consider a carryall tote like this a worthy investment if you want to opt for something pricier. You will use it practically every day, after all! We adore the colorful doodle design on this Collina Strada bag. So fun and whimsical but totally appropriate for a grown woman as well!
Traveling with kids can be extremely stressful, so let’s streamline the experience as much as possible with a great travel tote. This one has a trolley-compatible sleeve, plus lots of pockets and a main compartment that can be safely zipped closed. The fabric is water-repellent too, which is always a plus, especially if you’re far from home!
Want a genuine leather tote but don’t want to spend too much money? Check out this Macy’s-exclusive pick, complete with silver-tone hardware, plenty of pockets and double handles for easy carrying and durability. And how pretty is that rosy pink color?
Have multiple kids and need some serious, serious storage? This is the tote for you. Able to extend up to nearly 28 inches wide and 19 inches tall, this bag isn’t messing around. It can carry up to 50-pound loads too. You can pack just about anything you can think of in here!
