As counterintuitive as it may be, cavernous bags are not always the right answer for moms. What sells us on them at first (big and roomy) actually becomes a problem when everything falls to the bottom and jumbles. Smaller than the average tote or satchel, saddle bags are a great in-between. With a little organization, everything fits neatly into the compact space. Plus, all the styles featured below can be worn crossbody, if need be, so your hands are always free.
