How would any bag be an obvious diaper bag? A quick image search for diaper bag shows bags that could just as easily hold laptops or cameras. Parents want to look fashionable too.

The ruse would fail instantly you took the camera out of the bag. Or when you have no child, and look like you are wealthy enough to have a camera hobby.

We used to tote around one of these: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/388909924480

Not very fashionable, has wet wipes hanging out the side, the pockets have stitched icons for what they're meant to hold like a soother and diapers, etc.

Having a child as a prop would definitely help, but a frazzled look and some wet wipes hanging out the side would probably help it along quite a bit.

Well, I found one but it brought us full circle. It looks like a grocery bag and says Big Stinky Diaper Bag. https://www.lifesoleil.com/cdn/shop/products/fai1-ecb007-cre...

No, just think about your car in a parking garage. The thief doesn’t want golf clubs or diapers, but messenger bags.

just get something girly, no thief is going to look twice at
