Several months back, a wonderful friend threw us a brunch/shower for Joanna Mei.
One of the beautiful gifts was a pink diaper bag. Be really likes it. I don't do pink.
I'm going to be the stay-at-home-dad. I will not be carrying a pink diaper bag.
Be says she'll carry it. Fine. But what do I do when Be's not with me?
I need MY OWN diaper bag......and it has to meet MY specifications.
* it must double as a personal 'carry-on' bag when Joanna Mei is not flying with us.
*must have a flap to accommodate airline boarding passes and baggage receipts.
* it must hold a lap top.
* it must double as a beach bag for our Hawaiian vacation
the week before Joanna Mei's adoption.
*it must have compartments for easy accessability
to cell phones, CD players, keys and sunglasses.
* it must not look like a diaper bag when not being used as a diaper bag.
The bag we chose was the "Eddie Bauer" model pictured above. It actually looks like a regular tote type bag disguising the fact that contained within it's synthetic fabric walls there are wipes, a sippy cup, emergency diapers, an airtight plastic pouch for dirty diapers (Yuk! Does anyone actually carry around a diaper defiled by baby poopie inside their diaper bag? What kind of a wacko thing is that? Perhaps it's there as a conversation piece ...... Guess what I have in my diaper bag? Yikes! There's GOT to be some other use for the airtight plastic pouch!), Pediassure, apple juice as well as
The Camouflage Diaper Bag
In case you need to change your baby while hunting.
The Ninja Diaper Bag
(also comes with orange trim and dragon)
The packaging includes the warning
"Ninja practices not to be used while diapering baby."
The Peace Sign Diaper Bag
Caution: Users of this diaper bag may be subject to additional SW questioning.
The Flamingo Diaper Bag
For the man with a good self image.
For some reason, during my internet search for "Men's Diaper Bags", this
manual came up. I thought "What the heck!" I ordered it.
The Skull and Crossbones Diaper Bag
Aarrgh!
The Diaper Vest
Now who the heck came up with this one?
Here's something that'll really disguise the fact that you're carrying baby equipment
much the same way the combover disguises baldness.
This brilliantly designed garment includes pockets for diapers, wipes, bottles, cell phones and the piece de resistance ----
a slim design diaper changing pad in a hidden pocket in the back of the vest!!!!
Isn't that fabulous? Maybe for someone who doesn't mind being called "Lumpy"!
Actually, I thought of buying it but alas ......
Some fool didn't include an airtight pouch for poopied diapers!
I'm outtahere.

Along the way, I discovered that there are several versions available to taste specific men. I have included several examples below for your shopping pleasure ......

I was going to suggest looking for something "Eddie Bauer", but I can see you're ahead of me. LL Bean has some manly diaper bags, too. I think the airtight plastic pouch may be used for dirty clothes instead of dirty diapers. I agree with you, who would carry a dirty diaper in the diaper bag? Yuk! "The Skull and Crossbones Diaper Bag" - for the redneck in you - LOL!
Best wishes,
Michaela
That post is hilarious. I like the bag you picked. Its perfect for your needs. We got one that looks like a backpack so the DH wont be embarassed carrying it. That diaper bag vest is too much. I guess everything would be super handy. I wonder if there is an airtight pocket in the vest so you can carry the poopy one right on your body :)
I think you made a big mistake by passing over the Ninja bag...
Great post.

Just hoppin' through.
I think I know the one I'd pick but then that's just me.... :)

You are hysterical. I hope that manly diaper bag is meeting all your needs. We would love to come over and meet your baby girl.
I don't have a baby but I want the pink flamingo diaper bag.
