Help deciding on a cross body bag

[ms-whitney]

if you plan to have another bag on you, i'd suggest the swingpack because it's flat on the body and it holds just the essentials, money, keys, etc.

the duffle can be worn two ways, so that's why you might want to lean towards it, plus it can hold a diaper better! but if you have another bag for that it isn't necessary.

plus the swingpack is good for when you travel later on, e.g. to put passport.

i'm more inclined to the swingpack just because it's like a bigger version of the wristlet - intended for just going out and leaves your hands free

If you will be carrying an additional diaper bag, then the swingpack ought to be fine. But I quickly got to the point with my kids where I could make due by tucking a pack of wipes and two diapers into a regular purse. So if you intend to be carrying the larger baby bag for a while, then there probably isn't any need for the duffle, but if you think you can downsize for some events soon, then the duffle might be more versatile.
