While out observing Mindy, I paid attention to her use of an umbrella stroller and her storage solutions. Rather than using a diaper bag (a type she has been unhappy with), Mindy uses various totes and canvas bags. Her current bag of choice is made of green canvas and has a simple dividing system.
A complaint of Mindy's is that diaper bags are too bulky. Also, the one she has is made of an unpleasant material. Could it be that, in addition to size, diaper bags have too many pockets and options?
Here is what Mindy took to the park and farmer's market on the day I observed her. We were gone for about three hours. A large bag was not needed. An additional canvas bag was taken for groceries.
The contents easily fit into the bag.
A perk of having a small bag made of a material that isn't too stiff is that it can be shoved into a larger bag for easy transport. All the baby stuff stays in the bag, no matter who is taking it.
The straps hang on the umbrella stroller handles, and can be used to store coats and in this case, a skateboard.
