Dads chuck that girly bag and make way for the new messenger bags for men, Dad bags! Fathers can now wear stylish yet practical messenger style bags that will carry everything they need to keep their baby’s’ high and dry.

I can remember it like it was yesterday. My kids and I decided to go to an amusement park, mom was out of town, but that wasn’t going to stop us. We got the kids in the car and took off. Once we got there I got the stroller and the kids out of the car and saw it sitting there in the trunk. My wife’s bright green, floral print, Shanghai Tang diaper bag was just staring at me. For those of you who don’t know, as I didn’t, Shanghai Tang is a really sheik Asian designer brand. I didn’t want to take it out but I had no other bags so I reluctantly slid it out and insecurely hung it on the back of the stroller.

Messenger bags for men are now available that fathers can finally wear with pride. So what makes these messenger bags different? Other than being made in ultra stylish designs and high tech materials these bags have all the essential characteristics of regular diaper bag.

Change em: I guess if there was one essential item a dad bag needs to have its a changing pad. I think the best ones are easily cleanable with a baby wipe and fold right out of the bag. Best are the pads that are connected to the bag so that it essentially rolls out and back in with ease.

Got Bottles? The one feature that you never think you need until you get milk spilled all over everything are baby bottle holders. Today’s bottles are designed to allow air to enter the bottle without the baby opening their mouth to release the suction. Although that’s a great feature for the kiddies, it makes for a less than leak proof bottle.

Stroller Ready: One bad thing about using a backpack as a diaper bag is that they don’t fit properly on the back of strollers. They’re awkward and cause the stroller to tip over as soon as the child gets up. Modern dad messenger bags fit strollers well and keep them in balance.

Spot For Mom: OK, mom we understand. There are also pockets for mom if she ever gets stuck taking our bag. Now she knows how we feel – maybe.

Spill Proof: Dad messenger bags are typically double fitted with Velcro and a buckle of some kind. This keeps the bag closed if you ever have to just grab it and run as your little one runs out the door.

Dads are now proud to wear their diaper bags for the simple fact that they’re cool and functional. Beware moms, dads got the gear!
