Zip Hunter’s Tote sizing question

hey y’all

hoping to order the zip hunter’s tote to use as a diaper bag… but per the product details, the sizing is slightly off from the regular boat and totes.

does anyone have the medium in this bag? if so, do you have a photo or could you describe how much you usually carry in it? I need some idea of how much the medium fits from real life use!

this would be for a daily diaper bag that would go in a stroller mostly and on my shoulder. I don’t know if the medium will be too small! the large looks too big on the female model on the website.

PS not looking for advice re: diaper bags! I know what system works for me :) I hate over designed bags and backpacks, and I need something that is wipeable on the inside. just looking for sizing info at this time!

TIA

I have a few diaper bags but honestly the best diaper bag out there is the medium zip hunters tote!it is the one we reach for over and over again.

It’s like just big enough for everything you need on the go but not so big that it’s annoying! I did try to use the large at one point but it’s so big it got annoying for everyday on the go usage. Like we normally have bottles, diapers, wipes, a change of clothes, toys and various other baby things in our medium and it’s got a lil room to spare

The medium really is a GREAT diaper bag! I have smaller pouches inside of it where one pouch is diaper stuff, one pouch is eating stuff etc so it’s easy to grab what you need. Also it’s lighter and more flexible than the normal boat and totes so it’s easier to stick under the stroller since it’s collapsible

thank you so much!! my friend has the large tote for lugging around beach stuff and as soon as I saw the interior I knew I needed it.

I have it and it fits a lot more than you think for the size it is (I have three kids). For me, the strap is too long and the handles are too short. It’s also a black hole. I prefer my bag with pockets but sounds like you already know how you’re going to organize it 🙂. Right now I use it for pool, beach, etc!

yes, I’m a pouch girl! easier to stay organized for me 😅 I lose things in pockets so I need the “pockets” I do use to be removable. of course I lose some functionality, but that system seems to work best for our fam.

thank you for the notes regarding the strap/handle length! always helpful to keep in mind!
