One system. Every version of your day.
The Little Hauler is one tote and two pods: an insulated Bottle Pod and a Changing Pod with the mat built in. Each pod locks on with a quick-release magnetic locking system and comes off in one motion. Pods on, it carries a full day for you and your kids. Pods off, it's simply a beautiful bag.

Parents have adapted to products that never adapted to them.
Modern parenting means being a different person every hour of the day. Parent, professional, partner, person. The gear was never built to keep up. So mornings look like this: a diaper bag, a daycare tote, a work bag, a bottle bag, a lunch bag. Half-packed, mismatched, and heavy. You leave the house feeling behind before the day starts.
Parenting has evolved. The gear hasn't.
Tuck & Tote was founded by Army veteran, and mother of three, Van Rene Rhoades.
Built in the margins of a full life: at 5am, before work, between school runs. She went looking for the bag she needed and it didn't exist. Every option failed the same ways. Diaper bags were designed for the newborn stage and expired by toddlerhood. Work bags looked right in a meeting but couldn't hold a cold bottle. Everything had more pockets, but nothing actually adapted. The parenting industry has accepted problems it should not.
So she designed the thing she couldn't find.
I didn't set out to make another diaper bag. I set out to redesign how families carry their lives.
From a 5am frustration to an award-winning system.
A mom of three goes looking for the bag she needs. It doesn't exist — every option fails the same ways.
Built in the margins — at 5am, before work, between school runs — she designs the modular system herself.
The Little Hauler wins a 2026 iF Design Award — recognized internationally for innovation in product design.
The first production run is in the works, releasing in limited drops reserved for waitlist members.
You didn't lose yourself.
There just hasn't been a system that helps you carry all of you.
Somewhere between the hospital and the daycare pickup line, the gear takes over. The handbag becomes a diaper bag. You walk into a meeting and wonder if the room sees the professional or just the mom. It isn't about the bag. It's about what the bag signals — to the room and to yourself.
We build for the woman carrying all of it. You do not have to choose. You are all of it. And you can carry it.
You're not carrying too much. You're carrying too many bags.
Principles we build every stitch around.
Modular by design
One system that reconfigures in seconds — so you bring your whole day without carrying five bags to do it.
Built to evolve
Gear that doesn't expire at 18 months. The pods change as your needs do; the bag evolves as your family does.
Looks like you
Design that holds up in a meeting and on a playground — so the room sees the professional, not just the gear.
For all of you
We build for the woman carrying all of it. You do not have to choose — you are all of it, and you can carry it.
Recognized internationally for solving a real parenting problem.
One of the world's most established design honors — awarded for innovation in product design.
One tote and two pods, joined by a quick-release magnetic locking system that comes off in one motion.
Roughly three in four mothers are in the workforce — and none were given a system to carry it all.
We're launching in
limited drops.
Our very first production run is in the works. When we launch, drops will be limited to waitlist members. Join to secure your spot — and be first to carry all of you.
