Which H bag is best for a mother w/small children?

[LaBoheme]

I realize that the 35cm Birkin is too small for my everyday needs. Will a 40cm Birkin work? ...36cm HAC?

The 40 Kelly(retourne) looks roomy but access seems to be a pain even with the shoulder strap?

Are there other appropriate styles that close completely?

I'd love to hear your experiences and recommendations! Thanks!

A canvas garden party?

The all leather Garden Party?

I'm not a mother, but I guess you need room and keep your hands free...
Maybe a Massaï could do the job ???

Definitely garden party....

How about a nice, slouchy, clemence 37cm Bolide with shoulder strap?

^^ great idea!

I'd go for the all leather garden party...but I wish the handles were a bit longer to easily go on the shoulder.

How about a Lindy? It will keep your hands free and looks like theres plenty of storage space.

I thought GP would be great but since it doesn't close (only one snap) a BOLIDE would be perfect. Shoulder strap option, hand held handles that are lovely, secure zipper, yet it looks very good when left open as well. A mou Bolide would be perfect in 37cm.

Surprised that no one has suggested one of the larger sizes of the Victoria bag!

^^The larger Victoria would be great - and I'm looking for the thread where I think - pazt - used her lindy as a diaper bag.

 

[CynthiaNYC]

That's a great idea too--a 34cm Lindy seems like it would hold a lot, but if a 35 Birkin isn't big enough, maybe not??

 

[merika]

^^Nope, I misspoke - the thread is actually about the victoria, not the lindy.
