We love our Diaper Dude Diaper Bag!! {Review & Giveaway}

What could be more appro­pri­ate in a house­hold of all dudes (well, except for me of course) than a Dia­per Dude dia­per bag?! Over the years with what is now three babies, I’ve tried out my fair share of dia­per bags. I really didn’t like the ones I had in the past and was look­ing for some­thing per­fectly func­tional this 3rd go ’round. With the boys all being 5 and under, I still often need to carry things for the older boys– dia­pers for Lit­tle Brother, snacks & drinks, etc. So, I need some­thing that can carry a lot, but I don’t want a giant bag. I’m not overly girly (maybe it’s good I had 3 boys?! ) or flashy, so I tend to grav­i­tate toward basic & sim­ple styles. Plus, with a dia­per bag, it’s help­ful if it’s some­thing that Dad is will­ing to carry too. So, with all of those char­ac­ter­is­tics in mind, I think I finally found the per­fect bag!!!

The Mes­sen­ger II-Pinstripe from Dia­per Dude

Seri­ously, this bag is SO func­tional! And, I LOVE that it doesn’t really look like a dia­per bag! There’s noth­ing baby­ish about it, except for that is holds baby stuff really well (and it has a dia­per bag check­list on the inside flap to help the dads out)! I really love all the var­i­ous stor­age com­part­ments this bag has and the way it’s all laid out. Here are some of the specs:

• One large com­part­ment for baby with mesh pocket and addi­tional com­part­ment for dad with mesh pocket.
• Padded shoul­der strap.
• Insu­lated bot­tle holder.
• 3 large com­part­ments with Vel­cro® closure.
• Dad check­list screened on flap.
• Breath­able mesh padding for extra comfort.
• Padded chang­ing pad.
• Clips for stroller strap.
• Inte­rior key clip.
• Remov­able cell phone holder
• Bag mea­sures approx­i­mately 17 inches wide and 14 inches tall.

I hap­pen to love that it has the three lit­tle pouches on the front. For me, that’s one pouch for each kiddo! Per­fect for each one’s cups! You can see that it also has a lot of var­i­ous zip­per & mesh pouches within each main com­part­ment. It helps keep things orga­nized as opposed to just the giant abyss of stuff. And, do you see what else I love about it?! I can fit my mac­book inside the back com­part­ment! That will be SO nice for trav­el­ing!

Here’s a peak at the inside of the main com­part­ment for one of our recent outings:

Con­tents include a burp cloth, three dia­pers, a paci, bot­tle of water, two bot­tles, a “just in case” pair of undies for Big Brother, and my wal­let. There is actu­ally lots of room to spare and that’s just inside the front/main com­part­ment. That doesn’t include the 3 pouches on the front, the two on the back, the back zip­pered com­part­ment or the zip­per com­part­ment on the front flap. So, def­i­nitely a lot of space! Yet, the bag isn’t over­whelm­ing huge. I can carry it eas­ily over one shoul­der like a purse or across body, mes­sen­ger bag style! It’s def­i­nitely been a great dia­per bag solu­tion for us and per­fect for this dude mom house­hold!
