Looking for a large tote bag for travelling/flights with kids

What bag do you use for travel with kids?
I want something big for chucking in snacks, drinks, toys, changes of clothes, etc. I normally use a small crosse body bag for purse, passport and phone.
At the moment I’m considering this
www.rains.com/collections/waterproof-tote-bags?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6YvRqfmA2gIVhrDtCh2BeQ8dEAAYASAAEgIjQPD_BwE
Or this

Any other suggestions?

I just bought this one after seeing it recommended on here:

They have different shapes and sizes. I have a Longchamp medium tote and considered a large but this looks more robust (and a lot cheaper!).

Reisenthel do amazing bags. They’re known for their shopping bags but also do a travel range we use the big xl ones for beach bags as they’re spill proof inside and great for wet towels/beach stuff.

Their medium shopping bag is collapsible and zips up.. lots of choices here

I also love this family tote with a little handle for your kids - wish my kids were younger and I needed it

I have succumbed to the two queen bees bag, and I didn't even need a new bag!!

I have a National Trust tote bag. Wipe clean, huge and good strong straps

chimp that Day Birger bag looks good - have you got it yet? How big is it? It looks huge in the photo of the person holding it!
It does look quite similar to the Rains one I linked to. I wonder which is a better size.

I have Mia Tui bags. They are capacious. I also have Le Pilage.

Inn very tempted by the Day Birger bag, does anyone know if it comes with an extra strap? I need to be able to hang it I’ve really the pushchair handle as well.
@chimpanzee have you got yours yet?
