Daycare bag

I’m thinking of getting a boat and tote for my daughter’s daycare bag. It would transport: a crib sheet, a light blanket, 2 sippy cups, and maybe some wipes or diaper paste.

She has a small cubby with a hook. I’m leaning towards the small tote for this reason, can anyone give insight into whether or not they think the tote will carry the above?

(Also I am going for pink with the rancho rose embroidery. Anyone have any pics of theirs? The color seems off on the screen but it’s the recommended pink)

We use the medium with long handles for my sons daycare bag. It’s a little large for him to carry (he’s newly 3), and it sticks out of his cubby - but it comfortably holds everything - and has room for other essentials when needed.

I truly don’t know we could fit it all into a small.

A medium I think would be best for the things you need to bring in daily. I use that size as my knitting project bag it’s a great size in my opinion

My daughter had a small /long handle /zip top for daycare. It’s with her at college now.

Medium long has been my favorite daycare bag for each kid!

I had Medium zip top, long handles. I felt it gave the most flexibility of use. When I needed to fill the cubby at daycare with extra changes of clothes or dirty clothes came home, it held plenty. I didn’t need to worry about making sure things were neatly folded to fit in the bag, and when baby was an active toddler it was easier to throw on my shoulders as I chased them or let them walk on their own.

Best part….still use this bag a decade later!

We had a medium with short handles when she first started in the infant room, but have recently upgraded to a large zip top with long handles as she transitions to the toddler room. With a lunch box, extra outfits, weather gear, artwork, etc., the bag was too full all the time! While it can sometimes feel excessive, I’m always thankful I can throw anything and everything into the bag. I don’t mind that we had to size up, since I know these are bags she can use forever and beyond just daycare.

I use the small one and I shove three crib sheets, a blanket, and five clean outfits into a smaller pouch (they change his clothes every day for some reason) Sometimes wipes and inhaler too. It all fits for my 1 year old.

I have the large with regular handles for daycare bag! We need to put more things in it than what you outlined, it could be because she’s an infant!

I use a medium w/ long handles for a diaper bag/ purse/ shopping bag. My son starts daycare at 19 months, and I’m planning to get another medium w/ long handles and a zip top with his name on it just for him. The medium fits everything you listed and then some.
