One thing that has helped me to lighten the load of motherhood is to keep what I carry with me to a minimum. Whether I’m running errands, meeting friends for a playdate, or enjoying a quiet day with my toddler, I’ve learned that having the right essentials packed in my Poppy crossbody diaper bag, and leaving behind a lot of the ‘just in case’ items, makes motherhood feel lighter.
Let’s take a peek at what I always carry for both myself and my toddler in my Poppy Bag:
Why I Love My Poppy Diaper Crossbody Bag
The best part about my Poppy crossbody diaper bag? It looks like something I’d wear even before I had a baby (hello, luxe leather option!). It’s not big and bulky, so I don’t feel weighed down while I’m also carrying my little one. It’s the perfect balance of style and function – exactly what I am looking for as a mom on a mission to get her style back.

6 Toddler Essentials I Pack In My Poppy Crossbody Diaper Bag
Whether I’m running a quick errand or out for a full day of adventures, my Poppy crossbody diaper bag is packed with just the essentials—no extra bulk, no digging around. Here are the 6 must-haves I never leave home without (and why they make mom life so much easier):
🚽 Travel Potty Seat – When my kiddo was potty-learning, public restrooms were not his favorite. This foldable potty seat from Amazon fits perfectly in my Poppy Bag and makes potty breaks way less stressful.
👖 Change of Pants – Accidents happen! I always keep a thin, cotton pair of leggings in my bag (and stash extra clothes in the car, just in case).
💦 Poppy Mini Wet Bag – A total game-changer! This little foldable bag protects my Poppy Bag’s cotton interior from potty accident clothes, leaky snack pouches, and even my own makeup.
🍏 Snacks – Have you met toddlers? Their metabolisms are wild. I always have a dried fruit bar, an applesauce pouch, and some nuts on hand to keep meltdowns at bay.
🚗 Hot Wheels – Small, easy to pack, and the ultimate distraction in waiting rooms, restaurants, and checkout lines.
💧 Kids Hydroflask – Sometimes my little guy doesn’t want to carry his own water, so I toss it into the mom side of my Poppy Bag.
5 Personal Essentials I Pack In My Poppy Crossbody Diaper Bag
It’s easy to focus entirely on packing for your little one, but my own essentials matter just as much. That’s why my Poppy crossbody diaper bag is such a lifesaver – it keeps my must-haves organized and accessible while still leaving plenty of room for my baby’s necessities. The result? Everything stays perfectly in place, with zero diaper bag chaos.
Your baby 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 packing high-quality sunglasses to protect my eyes from the sun. If you’re looking for a new pair, these are super cute and fit perfectly in the zippered compartment of my Poppy small crossbody diaper bag, so they’re always safe 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 the designated phone pocket on the back of my Poppy diaper crossbody bag – 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.
