Oh yes. I was thinking these two styles too. For slightly bigger capacity and versatility. I thought I was strange until I saw your post. Hahaha. Like minds think alike.
Which everyday small bag for a mom?

Haha Where to start ?!
For LV monogram I love my speedy 20 and considered alma bb, neonoe and palm springs mini. Other brands at that price point: I use H Evelyne tpm a lot when I'm with my kids. Also Celine Trio. I don't have but like Bottega Small Cassette, Celine Classic Teen. Maybe YSL Toy Loulou or mini Lou? So many options out there, happy shopping!!If you like the Evelyne (I have one) then I think you will like the Odeon PM (I have that too). It is a better bag IMO. It zips, the outer pocket is more secure, the bag hugs your body and looks cute. I have the DE print so no vachetta and rain friendly!
Out of the 2, I think the multi-pouchette is the better choice with kids. You can even buy a separate strap to use the small pouchette as a belt bag. The MP is versatile, and you have the larger pouch if you need to carry more. Everyday carefree bag, and minimal vachetta except for leather tabs. Less vachetta is better for everyday wear.
I own the nano speedy. When my daughter was little I owned the speedy HL (same nano bag but did not have any strap to attach). It was my favorite bag ever, but I eventually sold it because I still found I needed something larger and easier to take things in and out of quickly. The opening on the nano speedy is small. I always regretted that sale, so I am so thrilled to have my nano bag bag back.
If you like belt bags, YSL has a great one that is camera style, and it can be worn cross-body too. I also think the Gucci marmont mini camera bag is an amazing everyday small crossbody bag. My daughter is an adult now, but I still cannot live without a Gucci mini camera, and it opens wide for easy access. It's one of those bags that will hold what you need daily and can just throw on and go without worry.

I think both of those are kind of too small, have you thought of the pochette metis or speedy 20?
I love the look of the pochette Métis but that’s more of a bag I’d carry to work, not wrangling my kids in public. I have considered the speedy 20!
I was thinking YSL Niki too! Mom of almost 3 here haha!
I’m new to LV but I love my speedy b 25 in DE. I use it with my 2 and 4 year old and it’s been great. I have 2 Alma’s - black Epi and DE and I’m thinking I’ll use them more when I just throw my kids’ stuff in my longchamp backpack and toss it in the stroller so I can just have a light crossbody on me. The Alma is super durable and cute. It fits my essentials plus a small pack of wipes and a snack bar etc.
I also vote YSL Niki. I love YSL. I have the toy loulou, mini Lou and small envelope bag as my go tos for when I just need my own essentials.

I love my multi pochette - with the two pouches and the key pouch (use mine for AirPods) you can carry a surprising amount and my large IPhone 14 max fits in the smaller pouch. I also like being able to carry one pouch or the other and switching out straps. I also love my Speedy 20, but it does stick out from my body more. My favorite hands free that carries a fair amount is the keepall xs from the men’s line. I think you would have to do pre-loved, or on 24s, but it’s kind of like a speedy that hugs the body. Good luck deciding, how fun to have more freedom now!
Speedy 25 in DE, alma bb in DE, or neonoe in any print that does not have vachetta leather. The neonoe stays organized, can be carried multiple ways, is not overly large, and can handle rain.
I think it also depends on what essentials you like to carry on you. I agree with above that I wouldn’t do another Speedy since you already have one. Between the two I vote the Pochette Métis since it’ll allow you to be hands free which is helpful with littles!
I was just going to agree on the Evelyne! (clearly it's in my avatar) lol, but if LV canvas is preferred I would suggest an Odeon (similar sizing to an Evelyne PM)
