Diaper Bags for Cool Dads

With new moms hitting the work force and more dads than ever staying at home to play Mr. Mom the advent of great, new diaper bags for dads is upon us! Since baby is not going to be the one carrying her own diaper bag, most new parents are shunning the traditional vinyl, cartoon charactered diaper bag and aiming for bags that are functional yet look great.

While moms get to pick from an astounding variety of diaper bags that look more like hobos, sassy totes, and trendy satchels, dads aren't being left far behind with their own array of masculine and very cool bags for their baby's duds. Skip Hop Dash has a great looking messenger style diaper bag that comes in a variety of colors and doubles as a stroller bag. With enough room to carry bottles, sippy cups, snacks, toys, and diapers as well as a waterproof compartment for cell phones, wallet, and keys, this bag is a hit with dads who want to have all their baby's needs at their fingertips without compromising their own sense of style.

Other diaper bags that look like messenger bags that are hits with the new dads are the DadGear Bag, available at Target, that comes in fun, unconventional colors like Chili Pepper Red, Hawaiian Blue and Retro Orange and the Diaper Dude which can be worn over the shoulder or over the stroller and comes in solid colors with clean lines perfect for the businessman dad and the nature dad alike.

For the dad with super fashion sense that cringes at compromising a great ensemble with a cumbersome bag, there is the tres chic Scout JourneyPack which is military inspired and comes in a gorgeous heathered olive green felt with antiqued brass hardware. This bag is not only esthetically pleasing, but its functionality is top notch. The inner lining of the JourneyPack inverts easily so dads and moms alike can easily clean out the piles of cracker crumbs and Cheerios that always find a way of accumulating at the bottom of diaperbags. Every bag should have this option! More daring dads will love the Passchal Dad's Baby Case which is billed as virtually indestructible and is made out of truck inner tubes yet looks like it's made out of fine black leather!

For the dad that prefers a backpack to an over the shoulder bag, the Marshall Diaper Bag for Dads and the JJ Cole Essentials Diaper Bag are perfect options. These bags look like a regular backpack yet come with compartments for bottles, and soiled clothes that keep the wet stuff and the messy stuff away from your PDA and wallet. You really can have it all!

Dads everywhere don't have to worry about carting around their wives' trendy diaper hobo, or a bag that looks like it escaped Disneyland. They can carry their own diaper bags that are functional and attractive and definitely masculine. Bags for dads come in colors like grays, black, camo, and with stripes. They come in a wide array of styles and every dad is bound to find the perfect bag to match his sense of style and personality.
