Hope you all are having a wonderful start to the new year so far! <3 This March my 2nd baby boy will be born. My husband wants to treat me to a new LV bag and I am undecided on which to choose. I love both looks/styles of these two and just want a bag that fits a bit more than my typical wallet on chain bags, my first born is 10 (yes I know.. far apart however due to health issues for ongoing years I am finally confident and most importantly healthy again!!!) So excited.

Any mommas here want to chime in or if anyone wants to help pick just based off aesthetics? Appreciate it and thanks much in advance!! :)

First off, congrats! As a mom of 2 (under 5 yrs old), I prefer a crossbody or a backpack. I have the backpack you posted and the only thing I dislike about the backpack is having to buckle/unbuckle. I had the Palm Spring PM and returned it due to stitching on the straps. Anything hands-free is a win-win.

Congrats!!!! Agree above comments. I am a mom of 3 under 5, oldest is turning 5 in Feb, yay!
I am now hunting backpacks, I've heard a YTer often get pickpocket in her Chanel backpack while traveling, hence, I got a coach backpack for less or no attention. For LVs, for one baby, I use speedy B25.
Actually, I really like backpacks, but it's all about which one you love better.

Congratulations! Both are beautiful bags! I have a 2 year old and due next month with #2! We went to "just look" last month and I just fell in love with the Neonoe Monogram black... so we came home with it. :heart: I bought the Mcraftleather handle and Samorga organizer for it too. I love that it fits my wallet, small pouch of stuff, wipes, few snacks, toddler water bottle, and 2 diapers (could stuff more in it too) and it's been great for errands with the toddler.

I dislike that carrying it as a crossbody, the buttons dig into my shoulder and feels heavy (given it's not a tiny purse and how much I put in it lol). Also dislike that when I carry it on my shoulder, it can swing around in my way/bump things when I'm juggling a toddler flopping around. I find my backpack diaper bags much more convenient to be hands free and twist/turn/lean however I need to. That said, I still just love this bag and no regrets on getting it. Sometimes I wear it on my shoulder with my backpack diaper bag! I think this just means I need to get a smaller crossbody (like the Alma BB) to carry only my essentials... and pair it with my backpack diaper bag. :biggrin:

First off, congratulations to you and your family! My kids are grown, but just thinking pack to having to carry one son on my hip and hold the other's hand, I would go with the backpack. I have the Montsouris in Empreinte and love it. However, you will be taking it on and off while getting in and out of it. Best of luck!
