So, a good friend of mine, and his wife, are having a girl this summer. For the baby shower I would like to get him a "manly" diaper bag. Anyone have and use these? what size? Input appreciated.

Yup, I have a Maxpedition Versipack, I think. It's perfect. Mine holds all the baby crap plus extra magazines, multi-tool, gps etc. I took it to China to pick up our daughter and all the other dads laughed at me for having a purse. At first. Every day someone would need something they neglected to bring and I'd whip it out of my bag. By the end of the trip I think half of them had ordered one for themselves online.

I have the jumbo and wouldn't go any smaller. The nice thing about a sling bag is it allows you to still have both hands free.

Tool bags come in a variety of manly shapes and sizes and colors. They are generally tough as well as reasonably priced. Check Home Depot and Lowe's type places.

Thanks for the response, Tim, that is what I was curious about.

Sand-not really looking for a tool bag, my buddy is a journeyman carpenter, so I am sure that he has plenty of tool bags. He also CCW's often and I want him to have something that he can actually use after the kid gets big enough to not need a diaper bag anymore. Thanks for the response.

If anyone else has used a max bag for a diaper bag chime on in. Thx.

I also used the Verispak Fatboy. Used it for 2 kids now, and it is awesome. Even if I'm CCW on my waist, the pack covers up any 'extra' bulges quite nicely.

I am expecting baby #2 in a couple of months, and saw a guy last weekend with Maxpedition Versipack. Went home and checked them out, they look like a great solution.

I've been using a Maxpedition Sitka for the past few months. It's just a personal preference over a versipack.

Small ACU Bag with a Zippered top.

Fits a change of clothes, 4 diapers and a package of wipes.

As they get bigger, you need a bigger bag.

absolutely not true

I no longer need to carry 40 jars of food, special spoons 4-5 bottles 12 diapers and 4 changes of clothes.

Now a few diapers, a single change of clothes and some wipes.

Sometimes a sippy cup if its a longer trip
:D

Dudes having baby showers?

Maxpedition has a number of bags that would serve well in the diaper bag roll. I've used the tactical attache for this purpose.

Exactly. Right now I am using a smal camelback pack. Has a few diapers,change of clothes,wipes, some snacks and on longer outings a couple of nalgene kids sized bottles. Works perfect for my 2 boys and I. I used to use a bag but found with 2 little ones a backpack is easier

ACU Bag
Tactical diaper changing at its best.
and why not have a party to hook dad up with cool baby stuff?
I know Daddies that are better parents than most Mommies.

We stopped using one ever since I left it on the roof of a car and lost it. Someone was nice enough to steal it off the street and leave the baby bottle in the gutter though.

We just started packing more and more clothes, including shoes; and the clothes weren't getting any smaller.

Cycle the clothes on laundry day.
Keeps them smelling fresh.

A backpack with diapers and butt wipes inside.

You'll be good to go.

extra shirt for you

A definite must! I remember taking my boys to the flea market and being thrown up on by my youngest when he was 6 mos. - NOT a pretty smell!!!

Diapers, Bladders and Babies in general leak...

and Yes, rancid partially digested baby formula with gastric acid is a nasty smell.

it doesn't have to be a nice shirt. (I Keep an older T-Shirt)
Clean is key here.
This is also where the baby wipes come in. You CAN Bathe with baby wipes.

Decided to go with the jumbo versipack. Now just debating color, ACU, black or khaki-foliage. Probably add some pink clothes and some misc accessories.

Thx for your input.
