Sturdy crossbody bag with a bit of space

[Thesheerrelief]

Still at the carrying-random-crap toddler stage but past baby bag stage. I'm looking for a sturdy crossbody bag that can carry a bit more than my purse and phone.

The lining on my current very cheap one has torn and today I found a light bulb in there while searching for keys!

Budget up to £100 because I want it to last.

Kipling are great, lightweight, waterproof & last well.

Thank you! Will take a look

Oops, misread the thread title and thought you were looking for a sturdy crossbow bag! I was wondering if we were seeing a repeat of the infamous thread where an American stumbled on the preppers board (how to store three tonnes of lentils and a gallon of passata in preparation for a hard Brexit) and posted a thread with "What's your everyday carry?" (hers was a Glock, IIRC).

Anyway, as you were...

Would this one work?

I haven't got a toddler but I find it big enough for random crap!

@CaraDuneRedux that DOES sound useful

@Alchemilla55 size looks perfect and I really like the plum

FWIW I have a very old school leather handbag (M&S I think) which was bought to be big enough to accommodate wallet, paperback book, two glasses cases and an ipad mini. Similar size to this (though I like to think mine is more stylish):

Don't think it would fit a crossbow, but probably would fit a Glock.

Depends how much toddler crap you need to carry? Are we talking couple of nappies and wet wipes too? If so you'd probably need something bigger.

We're (just) past the nappy stage so it's usually a drink, small toy or two, wipes/tissues, hat etc.

Glock optional, depending on the day! I'm liking some of those Fatface bags

Mia Tui do good bags.

I have a backpack changing bag. It was a bit excessive for a lone toddler but it meant I just had everything in there. Wipes, toys, change of clothes, drink, snacks. It meant when we fit places I could shove his hat and coat in there too.

Now I've got another baby, I make my toddler carry his own drink and snacks in a mini backpack. He also likes to put his cars in there.

Maybe worth considering a toddler backpack and only a bit bigger handbag for yourself?

Another Mia Tui fan here. I use then for work bags and they last well for the price.
Lots of useful pockets.

I like Yoshi crossbody bags? Fun designs, beautiful lightweight leather and inexpensive.

Healthy back bag. Different sizes and colours.

Kipling gabbie, the larger one. I swear by them

These look great and could work well for me as a swim bag (when the pool eventually opens again). Thanks for the link.

Thank you! Lots of options there
