Scary Mommy 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards Best Gear Hauler Brands

‘Cause us moms carry a LOT of stuff.

by Team Scary Mommy

Every mom knows: we carry a lot of stuff in our bags. So why not make them cute? These brands do the trick — they help you carry all the things while also being totally adorable and useful. Here are some of Scary Mommy’s favorite gear hauler brands.

Scary Mommy’s readers have spoken! Congratulations to our top gear hauler brands:

What Scary Mommy readers love about Project Ten:

  • They survive every chaotic kid stage from newborn diapers to teen sports gear. This is my ultimate 'get all the junk out of the car' bag.
  • Mine folds down to absolutely nothing but opens up massive. It’s perfect for beach days and lets me leave the bulky bags at home where they belong.
  • 🧡 the bright, funky patterns that make grocery shopping feel fun. Plus, Project Ten bags are made from recycled plastics. It’s a brilliant, mom-founded small business!

What Scary Mommy readers love about SCOUT Bags:

  • You can absolutely beat these bags up! They are tough enough to haul heavy firewood, yet chic enough for a girls' weekend getaway.
  • The woven collection is pure magic for messy pool days. Wet towels go right in, sand shakes out, and it wipes completely clean instantly.
  • The carrying capacity for the price point is A++. It easily packs up everything we need and collapses flat when I’m not using it.

What Scary Mommy readers love about Bogg Bag:

  • I love all of my Bogg Bags. They are cute, durable and, when the big mess comes (it ALWAYS does), easy to clean. Perfect for this busy mom!
  • The ultimate go-to bag. Holds a mountain of road trip gear or groceries without ever tipping over in the trunk.
  • I am completely obsessed with customizing mine! There are so many fun accessory inserts and cute charms to make it match your exact personality.
