So I've recently gave birth and is in the market to get a new handbag. I was looking at the neonoe and had tried it on but I think it's too big on my 5' 3 frame especially when cross body. All my bags right now are small with the option of either cross body or adjustable shoulder strap (e.g. Chanel small flap, WOC, Balenciaga mini city, etc) which works for me right now since she have her own diaper bag. However once my daughter grows up, I think I will need a sufficient size bag to carry some of her stuff too, especially when traveling? Any moms out there thinks there is a need for this? If so, then the neonoe won't be as big as I think? It would be great for all your inputs and comments for this first time mommy here! :biggrin:
 
Congratulations on the birth of your daughter! I’m your height, and I recently purchased the Neonoe. I absolutely love how easy to use this bag is! It’s lightweight, holds a lot, interior is organized, it’s comfortable on my shoulder, and I have the option of switching to crossbody wear, if needed. It looks polished and like a bag vs a tote. I just spent the day with my 3 year old granddaughter, exploring the Birmingham Zoo, and I carried this bag. It was perfect.

I am also 5'3 - slightly curvier frame and I think the NeoNoe is amazing! I don't have a neverful because everyone has one but also I'm not really a tote person. I think this is the next best thing! It actually doesn't look too bad on me crossbody as well again, due to my frame but I do wear a bit of a heel sometimes. I would normally carry it shoulder but i love the option to be hands free when I need it!

Honestly, I have a Speedy B 30 and the fact that the opening is so tight makes it very annoying to work with. My Skiphop diaper clutch fits in there with tons of room to spare, and capacity-wise, it's great for what you want, but getting larger items in and out is a chore. I don't recommend a Speedy B.

Maybe a Turenne MM?

Thank you for your input! I hope you had fun at the zoo with your granddaughter! I hope to take my daughter there soon!

Hmm I’ve never thought of that, I guess I’ll look into that as another option too. Thanks for your input!
 
When they are older an open top bag is great for throwing everything into - snacks, drinks, toys, clothes etc. Styles like the Neverfull, Totally, Bucket, Cabas, Iena, Sac.
