One thing that’s made life so much easier for me is realizing that as my preschooler grows, I need to pack less and less. Whether we’re heading to preschool drop-off, running errands, or meeting up for a playdate, I’ve found that keeping just the essentials in my Poppy crossbody diaper bag—and leaving the “just in case” stuff at home—makes everything feel lighter and more manageable.
Let’s take a peek at what I always carry for both my preschooler and myself in my Poppy Bag:
Why I Love My Poppy Diaper Crossbody Bag
What I love most about my Poppy crossbody diaper bag is how effortlessly it fits into my life—whether I’m wrangling kids or out on my own. It’s the kind of bag I’d carry with or without kids, which means I don’t have to switch bags (or switch who I am) depending on the day. It’s got that perfect mix of style and function that makes me feel like me, no matter what my day looks like.

4 Preschooler Essentials I Pack In My Poppy Crossbody Diaper Bag
Whether I'm popping out for a quick errand or gearing up for a full day of adventures with my preschooler, my Poppy crossbody diaper bag keeps things easy—just the must-haves, no extra weight. I’ve nailed down my four go-to essentials that make mom life feel a whole lot lighter (and way less chaotic):
💧 Kids Hydroflask – Sometimes my kiddo is moving too fast to remember to carry his own water, and I am constantly reminding my kiddo to drink enough water throughout he day, so I toss it into the kid side of my Poppy Bag so it's easy to grab.
💦 Poppy Mini Wet Bag – A total game-changer! This little foldable bag protects my Poppy Bag’s cotton interior from leaky snack pouches and even my own makeup. I usually have one in each side of my Poppy.
🍏 Snacks – If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that kids are basically snack-powered. I always keep a dried fruit bar, an applesauce pouch, and some nuts tucked in my bag to keep those hangry meltdowns away.
🚗 Small toys – The ultimate distraction in busy checkout lines, longer car rides across town for errands, and even at restaurant tables. Some of our favorites are HotWheels, Little Dover Activity Books, or Sticker Faces.
5 Personal Essentials I Pack In My Poppy Crossbody Diaper Bag
The real magic of the Poppy crossbody diaper bag is in its design—it’s like two bags in one. One side is all about my essentials, with everything organized and easy to grab. The other side is dedicated to my kiddo’s stuff, keeping snacks, wipes, and toys right where they need to be. No more digging around or diaper bag chaos—just a perfect balance of mom life and my life.
Your kiddo is #1 to you, but you're #1 to Poppy – your things were never an afterthought when I designed Poppy.
Here are the 5 personal essentials I always carry in the best crossbody diaper bag from The Poppy Brand – just for me:
- Sunglasses: I can’t leave the house without my sunglasses for obvious reasons, like bright sun, but also because I always feel more put together with sunglasses and lip gloss on no matter what else I am wearing. They fit perfectly in the zippered compartment of my Poppy small crossbody diaper bag, so they’re always safe from scratches and easy to grab right when I need them.
- Keys: You won’t be digging for your keys with Poppy. The Poppy Bag has a special key leash to clip your keys on, so they’re always easy to find.
- Hand Sanitizer: A spritz of this hand sanitizer is a must-have. I always keep it in the mom-side of my Poppy crossbody diaper bag purse so it’s easily within reach.
- Phone: I love to use the pocket on the back of my Poppy diaper crossbody bag for my phone – it keeps my phone secure and safe yet accessible.
- Wallet: From cards to cash, my compact wallet fits perfectly in my Poppy leather crossbody diaper bag.

Check out what other moms are saying about the Poppy diaper bag with crossbody strap:
- " I adore this bag 🥰 We’ve been lugging around a giant backpack diaper bag and it’s just unnecessary most of the time now that we’re out of the newborn phase, plus I missed having a purse bc I’m a purse girlie! I love that it’s separated into a diaper bag section and a purse section, that is the key tbh!" - Audrey
- “I absolutely love this bag! We are going on a cruise in July and it’s the perfect size to carry everything I need while we are walking around on the boat! I can have wipes and a few diapers in one side and everything I need in the other! Stop thinking about getting it and just do it!” - Megan R.
- “I look forward to leaving the house now because I get to use my Poppy! I love the comfort of it, the ease of having everything I need on my hip, the ability to baby wear and wear my Poppy at the same time, and I’ve already gotten so many compliments on how cute it is! So glad I finally took the plunge and ordered my Poppy!” - Sophia C.
