Manly Diaper Bags for Dads: 7 Stylish & Functional Options

Women are used to carrying around rather large purses on a day to day basis, so when the time comes to transition to a diaper bag, many of us just look at it as a way to get a brand new bag. While we now have to share our space with our little bundle of joy, we don’t particularly mind carrying an essentially small piece of luggage on our shoulder. Our partners, however, may not. Men are used to being able to slip all their necessities in their pants pockets and calling it a day. They may not be as comfortable carting around a huge bag of baby supplies, especially if it’s a girly Vera Bradley bag. As it turns out, the baby industry has caught on to this dilemma and there is now an amazing selection of functional and manly diaper bags out there! We’ve done some research and found some truly awesome man bags that most dads won’t mind carrying at all!

1. Rugged & Tough Manly Diaper Bag

This bag is the ultimate in diaper bags for men. Crafted from leather and waxed canvas, it has tons of nooks and crannies for all your kids accoutrements. Your man won’t be digging around in the bottom of his bag looking for spoons, as the top flap has great utensil sized compartments. This is not a cheap bag, but it’s worth your money if you can’t get your husband to carry the diaper bag any other way!

2. Sci Fi Diaper Bag

This bag is perfect for the, dare I say it, geeky dad. If he loves Star Wars, Star Trek or anything else you’d see on the Big Bang Theory, then this bag is for him. It’s a simple messenger style bag, but with the added bonus of some fun Science Fiction fabric. There are plenty of pockets inside this slim design, so it won’t be bulky and “purselike.” If he’s not ashamed to admit he loves deep space then he’ll probably have no problem carrying this around.

4. Rugged Dad

This is just your average Bob the Builder diaper bag. No one can mistake this for being feminine, yet the amount of storage is undeniable. The exterior storage is functional, and is perfect for toys, bibs, bottles and food. Its long strap makes it easily slung over your dads shoulder and the easy close top is perfect for tossing in the sports page before heading off.

5. Hands Free Dad

I seriously could not believe my eyes when I saw this: it’s a diaper VEST! If your dad won’t get within 10 feet of a diaper bag of any kind, then just strap on this baby and he’s all set. This vest has pockets for diapers, wipes, bottles, an MP3 player and even a compact changing pad. It comes in several colors and even a full jacket version!

6. Hipster Dad

Nothing says hipster like a leather messenger bag, and no hipster dad can go without. I can definitely see this bag being used, even after you little ones have outgrown the diaper bag stage. It’s crafted with real leather, and cleverly conceals the many pockets and storage areas inside. Your dad won’t be mocked if he’s carrying this stylish bag!

7. Backpacking Dad

Sometimes you just need a simple backpack to store all your baby goodies. This is actually a great unisex bag in a neutral gray color. The exterior pocket is built specifically for bottles and has a Therma-Flect barrier that reflects heat to keep away from milk! This bag is lead and PVC free, and comes with super comfy, padded straps. It’s also a great compact size, yet has ample pockets to store everything you need.
