Susanne Maddux Cosmo Tote

What makes a diaper bag a diaper bag? Usually some well placed pockets and a changing pad. I don't usually carry around a diaper bag anymore, but these essential details are not to be underestimated and I do admit I end up digging around for stuff. So I was interested in checking out Susanne Maddux's Cosmo Tote because it doesn't really look like a diaper bag and it has a separate pouch that's wide enough to fit your laptop. And since I am literally attached to my laptop (I was just telling a friend how sad it is that my baby probably associates nursing with having a computer screen inches away from her head) I liked the idea that there were separate compartments that keep your stuff away from baby's.

The cosmo tote comes in a bunch of different colors combos and is really durable and well built, but it isn't cheap. It's not the kind of bag that you can really toss on the handles either, but if you're a mom, for example, who drops baby off at daycare on the way to work, this tote might just work well for you.
