  –  Best Dad Bag Out There

My husband and I searched for a "dad diaper bag" for a while and there was never anything out there that was suitable for my husband to use. We came across a Dad Gear bag and my husband knew it was for him. It's durable, love all the insides and outside compartments, and best of all it looks like a laptop bag. We are on our second bag and love it!!!  –   Yobana & Noel Concha - 04/01/2013


  –  Awesome

This bag has been great. My little guy will be 3 next month and its still going strong. No signs of breaking down at all. Its deceptively big inside and has been able to carry diapers, blanket, change of clothes, and few small toys all at the same time. Being able to access everything without taking it off your shoulder is huge!  –   Sean - 03/28/2013


  –  Too small, cumbersome to flip open

This bag is very attractive and stylish, but is pretty small and very cumbersome to flip open because the front flap side is so heavy it tips the whole bag over. I recently flew with my baby and this bag, and once I loaded in a handful of diapers, burp cloths, a spare emergency bottle, a light jacket, a couple teething toys and a backup outfit for baby, I could barely cram the thing closed. Wish I'd gotten the bigger backpack style instead. This small one is great for routine day-to-day trips around town, but that's it. Not very flexible.  –   Mary L. - 12/08/2012


  –  Unique and useful.

Purchased this item to give a s a gift to one of my best buddies on his first baby's birth. Their response was (and I quote): "thanks for the unique and very useful gift, it's very, very cool".  –   JC Lopez - 07/27/2012


  –  Great for multiples

I have 18 month boy girl twins and I'm able to fit everything we need in here. I like that it's virtually one-handed -- in a public restroom, I can hang the pack off the end of the pull down changing table, take out the diaper mat, access the diapers and the wipes while keeping a hand on the baby. I agree with the previous poster that insulated pockets to keep bottles cool would have been nice when they were younger. Mine is also starting to fray on the inside and those loose threads get caught in the zipper. My only other complaint is that it would be nice to have more storage for wipes -- perhaps add a feature that would allow a standard plastic wipes box to fit in the bottom and use the wipes dispenser to access that? With multiples, a day trip runs us out of wipes, forcing us to carry a large plastic box around anyway, defeating the purpose of how nice and compact the container is. Still, an amazing pack and I like that I'll be able to use it for books and maybe my laptop when my kiddos are FINALLY potty trained.   –   Mom to twins - 07/10/2012


  –  Great Bag

I have been using this bag (Messenger Diaper Bag) for 3 years now with my first daughter and with another on the way it shows no sign of wearing out so it will see many more years of service as well. I told my wife if I had to carry the diaper bag then it had to be something I liked. Bingo!   –   Justin - 07/05/2012


  –  2 years and no problems

This bag has taken a beating! My daughter is just over 2 years old and this bag has been with us from when we left the hospital to just this past weekends trip to the aquarium. It's been over stuffed, dropped, splattered with every baby food you could think of and we've never had a problem with it.   –   Luca - 06/04/2012


  –  These are all wrapped with care!

Certainly I am a bit prejudiced as I personally wrap all gifts from the DadGear warehouse, but I take care in each and every package so hopefully the receiver feels good about the gift!   –   The Gift Wrapper - 02/02/2012


  –  Love my bag!

This is the best diaper bag! I can fit so much in it. It is the best bag for traveling as well.  –   Jodi - 02/01/2012


  –  Love your stuff

I want the billboard backpack # 133. Your bags are designed great!  –   Andy - 01/28/2012


  –  BABYBJORN Synergy - Super product for hot areas

My little one is quite hot-natured and sweats easily, AND I live in Texas! This product worked quite well, compared to other products. I could keep him close (which he liked) without worrying about him sweating to death, because the fabric is quite breathable. It's easy to wash, holds up well, and after 8 months of routine use, it still looks great.   –   Kerri T. - 01/28/2012


  –  So Roomy

We have this bag. It is so roomy. There are compartments for everything. I love the bottle compartments on either side.  –   Anita L. - 01/25/2012


  –  Great bag

This bag is great for dads on the go with baby. There are several compartments which make for easy access to baby essentials. The design is cool and can be used for other purposes beyond baby.   –   JM - 01/15/2012


  –  This deserves 10 stars!

This deserves 10 stars! I wish I knew about this 2 yrs ago. This thing can hold so much; 5 board books, coloring book, 16pc crayons, 2 chng of clothes, a few diapers, potty seat, basic first aid kit, 1 pr socks, snacks, my wallet, small camera, small video cam (flip size), sippy cup, bottled water, GameBoy thing, GameBoy thing, etchasketch. This thing is the greatest!!!  –   Amy S. - 01/11/2012


  –  Excellent product

Excellent product, grandson loves the vest. Daughter has 2 year old, wishes she had one! We are spreading the word.  –   Bernadette - 01/10/2012


  –  Thanks for making our life easier

I purchased the bag for my daughter as a gift for Christmas. She had a baby in April and had bought a bag for her husband so he could have his own personal bag. She loves it and will tell everyone about it and where it came from. Thanks for making our life easier.  –   Jane B. - 01/08/2012


  –  Sturdy

I received the messenger bag for my newborn son. I have spent some time playing with the messenger bag, and was eager to let you guys know my inexpert review. I will start by saying that I have gone through an average of one knapsack a year simply through wear and tear. I do not think I am overly hard on them, but they simply wear out faster than greased lightning. A few years ago I got a 5.11 Tactical knapsack, the 12-Hour bag. It is tough as nails, and I have every confidence it will last me at least a decade. As of this evening it still looks as good as it did the day I slid it out of its plastic bag. Your messenger bag seems to be in the same league as the 5.11 bag I have. The nylon sidewalls feel heavy and sturdy, and although the zippers aren't YKK they feel heavy enough (at least the tabs are the same size as the ones on my Carhartt jacket) and don't feel as though they will break if I look at them wrong. I am very impressed with the tear-away-and-replace front flap. I was nervous at first about the velcro strip, but it is nearly invisible when looked at from any direction other than the back. It is some serious velcro, it feels almost like the automotive-grade stuff that NASCAR mechanics use. A few of my friends are working on their second or third kid, and one of them at least I think was using a cargo jacket as his diaper "bag". I will definitely let him know about you guys, since this second kid is a daughter and I think he's getting nervous about the status of his Man Card. Your heavy-duty and decidedly manly bags should help reaffirm his faith in his masculinity.  –   Matt - 12/27/2011


  –  Satisfied Customer

Thank you for my awesome Dad Diaper Bag, first one EVER. Who would have thought that a diaper bag would help a Dad look cool, not me! But I am stoked to sport this thing. My wife would not allow me to carry my hunting pack as my bag, so this is the next best thing. DadGear Rules! Thank you again for this gift to us first time Dad's...  –   Robby B. - 12/20/2011


  –  Awesome Bag!

My husband prefers well-made products so when I saw this bag I knew it would be the perfect bag for him. It has beautiful double stitching on the bag and the colors to choose from were nice earth-tones. I knew any color would work but I went with Steel. He loves it and was excited to have his own bag. This bag is well-made and is worth the price!  –   Brenda - 12/15/2011


  –  Loves his vest and backpack

My son loves his DadGear vest and backpack! It was the perfect birthday gift for him. He particularly likes the vest, as it allows quick, out-the-door trips with the new baby and the 2-year-old. He said his friends were very impressed when he whipped out supplies as needed, including wet wipes, waters, gloves and even a flashlight. I've told everyone I know about your website and your wonderful items.  –   Debbie L. - 11/30/2011


  –  More handy than a diaper bag

I really do LOVE my backpack, so much more handy than a diaper bag, especially for traveling, it even went with me all the way to Germany :))  –   Sandra A - 09/27/2011


  –  great product

I just wanted you to know that I went to a baby shower last Saturday. The dad loved his Dadgear Rock and Roll messenger bag stuffed with Rockabye Baby CD's and Daddy-themed onesies. Thanks again for making such a great product. I will be ordering another bag soon.   –   Ann H - 09/24/2011


  –  great customer service

I contacted customer support online last week and received a very prompt response. Thanks so much. Great customer service!  –   Sara L. - 09/22/2011


  –  love the bag

I love the bag and am taking it on my trip to England with my 1-1/2 and 2-1/2 boys!  –   Charles R. - 09/19/2011


  –  son loves the vest

THANK YOU so much! My son LOVES the vest! Thank you for creating something great for dads. Back in my day, everything was only for the mother.  –   Iris - 09/02/2011


  –  brilliant

I ordered 2 of your bags for 2 males who are having babies this Fall. We filled them with all kinds of baby items and showed them how to use and access everything, along with making them watch the video! They were amazed and basically had no idea how to do anything so this was a huge help for them since they are both first time Dad's. They really loved the bags especially the flap designs. They were the perfect gift at the perfect tme and they were very appreciative. I think your bags are fantastic especially the ability to hang them off a stroller....BRILLIANT! Access to the baby wipes and bottles from the outside...BRILLIANT yet again!  –   Heather N. - 09/02/2011


  –  top notch

Wanted to express our gratitude for the new backpack. It arrived yesterday and are QUITE pleased with the new improvements you've made. The side elastic paockets are a GREAT addition! Also, sewing on the inner clips was a wonderfu idea, b/c that was something that broke quickly. Good thinking! Again, thank you, we couldn't be more pleased; this operation is top notch.  –   Adrienne J. - 09/01/2011


  –  had to show the wife

I LOVE the backpack!!! My sons who are giving this to their cousin, liked it to! In fact, my older son had to show the wife…  –   Joanne T. - 08/22/2011


  –  highly recommend

All around, the Dad Gear backpack is a great bag and we highly recommend one for the dad in your life. He will thank you for it!  –   Jessica B - 07/27/2011


  –  awesome diaper backpack

I just wanted to write and say thank you one more time for my awesome diaper backpack! It was really easy to review because I genuinely love it so much. My wife has given up her "cuter" diaper bag and started carrying the backpack!  –   Josh C. - 07/26/2011


  –  everyone loves my dadgear bag!

Everyone loves my dadgear bag! I have two close friends who I hope follow my lead and shop at your store. My son is almost two weeks old now so the more I get out the more my dad bag gets noticed! Have a great weekend!  –   jim A - 07/15/2011


  –  shown another couple our bag

We've already shown another couple the bag we bought-they are due to have their first baby a month after me! I'm hoping to get them a bag for their shower gift:)   –   Sarah H - 06/17/2011


  –  I like his better

I have to say…I got my husband one of these bags for his birthday. I have a froo froo bag I carry myself. At least I used to carry a froo froo bag. I like his better. It's our main diaper bag now.   –   Caryn B - 06/16/2011


  –  Excellent

This was given as a gift for an expectant daughter and son-in-law, so it hasn't been called into use as of yet. The initial perusal of the product seemed to be excellent. The only thing that would be an improvement would be some insulated bottle/can holders. It is a large bag with inside pockets and a changing pad. The access of the wipes from the front looks to be handy.   –   Chloe - 06/14/2011


  –  We get tons of compliments

The bag is totally awesome. We get tons of compliments. My husband is the primary caregiver of our kids. We have a 7 year old and just adopted a newborn. He researched bags and chose yours hands down. I love his bag more than my Storksak--I'm not kidding. It's so organized and easy to use. Nothing slides around--everything stays in its compartment. The one thing I would say is slightly annoying is the velcro on the back of the front flap that attches to the main part of the bag.   –   Liz B - 06/11/2011


  –  No, I'll take my own

The husband who received the Rock and roll bag really liked it and is using it. His wife told me that she handed her already filled diaper bag when taking their son somewhere. He said "No, I'll take my own."  –   Ann H. - 06/09/2011


  –  Good buy

I thought it was pretty expensive...but it was worth it. Well made, tough. My husband thinks it looks great (I wanted him to have his own so I could have a stylish, girly one). He feels like Jack Bauer from 24! LOVE the easy access diaper wipes feature. It's very roomy. I don't regret the expense at all.   –   Kallie - 04/30/2011


  –  Nice, smaller bag

This bag doesn't have all of the bells and whistles that many of the larger bags have, but we wanted a smaller, simpler starter bag for shorter trips/outings, and this will certainly fit the bill. I really hated having an oversized bag with my older daughter for shorter trips. It was just huge and cumbersome and absolutely unnecessary. So, we knew we'd eventually want two bags, one for quick trips and another one from when we're doing major trips (like road trips, or flying out of town, etc.). This bag will be great for the day-to-day, shorter trips and errands. There's lots of pockets/storage, and we especially like the fact that it doesn't look like other typical diaper bags, and the bright color is awesome and fun. Once our twin daughters are bigger and we need to worry about packing more stuff (larger clothes, bottles, snacks, larger/more toys, etc.) we'll consider a bigger bag. However, for the first several months, this will work great. Part of why I chose this bag is that I'm interested in the larger backpack bag from this brand, so I figured getting the cheaper, smaller one might be a good way to see how we liked the durability and organization of this bag before investing in the more expensive bigger one. So far, we're please with this purchase.  –   LeiLani - 04/19/2011


  –  no longer embarrassed

Your products are phenomenal and last forever! I am no longer embarrassed to be carrying around a diaper bag.   –   Ryan M. - 04/18/2011


  –  made him feel included

No one else at their baby shower thought of getting the new daddy a gift. He wears his vest all the time and it was the highlight of his day--it finally made him feel included in the excitement of expecting their first baby.   –   Angela H. - 04/17/2011


  –  products are great

Your products are great. I buy one for for each of my friends who are new dads. I wish I had known about these options the first time I became a dad seven years ago.   –   Alexander L. - 04/03/2011


  –  creates a stir

It is time for another baby shower, so I am ordering my ususal gift--a messenger bag for the dad. The dad seems to be the forgotten person at a baby shower. The Dadgear bags always create a stir at the showers.   –   Ann H. - 03/20/2011


  –  great product

Every time someone has a baby, we feel this is an appropriate gift for the gentlement we work with. We think you have a great product and continue to spread the word.  –   Lynn W. - 03/11/2011


  –  personal commitment

I've made it my personal commitment to buy every new dad I know a diaper bag from your company so they don't ever have to do what I had to do while looking for a masculine diaper bag (and that is carry some fluorescent flowery girly bag)!   –   Dexter B. - 03/10/2011


  –  WINNER, WINNER!

After scouring the net for the best backpack to use as a diaper bag, I ended up getting the DadGear Backpack Diaper Bag. Reviewers said that it was great for more than one child, had tons of storage, organization, etc. It has pockets on the sides for drinks, a compartment for wipes, one for diapers, and it's just a solid bag. Bought this to replace my small awkward diaper bag!  –   J. King - 02/28/2011


  –  Awesome bag for any Dad!

My husband loves this diaper bag and I love that he will actually carry it! Convenient pocket for wipes and tons of other space for all those little things! A++++  –   S. Hill - 02/19/2011


  –  Nice but heavy

My husband and I chose this diaper bag because it's not cutesy or girly, and he wouldn't feel silly carrying it. It's good quality and looks very easy to wipe clean (our baby's still 3 wks out). It's got nice space without being huge and a built-in, refillable wipes-holder. We did decide, though, that this would be his exclusive diaper bag, because even empty it's surprisingly heavy! My husband has no problem with the weight, and really likes it (it IS called "DadGear"), so I still recommend it, but filled up I think it could be a pain for new mothers to haul around.  –   Noelle - 02/16/2011


  –  LOVES the bag

He LOVES the bag. Really great colors and design too.  –   Andrea F - 02/07/2011


  –  Still take it everywhere

Bought my first dadgear messenger bag nearly 2 years ago, as a gift to my husband, right before our son was born. We still take it everywhere with us.  –   Thuy C. - 02/04/2011


  –  loved the vest!

I got your info from a friend to buy for my son-in-law. He loved the vest!  –   Donna L. - 01/20/2011


  –  Perfect for Daddy

I purchased this for my brother and he couldn't be happier. Good storage, easy to carry. I definitely recommend.  –   Kat - 01/20/2011


  –  making my wife jealous

I am definitely getting a lot of compliments and I think I saved MANY new and soon to be dads from the many lame baby bags out there. Also making the women, especially my wife, jealous of the hidden little bottle compartment that prevents me from opening the bag  –   Dominic C. - 01/17/2011


  –  Great bag for Dad

I really love this diaper bag which I initially bought to use as the only diaper bag for us when we go out. It's a great color (true to picture) and has some very nifty features, with the wipes case on the front being one of the handiest. It also has stroller clips which we use constantly and the 2 side pockets for bottles (we use them for sippy cups) are fantastic and have easy access from the exterior. The inside is super roomy and has plenty of pockets for organizing. I also like the zipped pocket on the front for quick and easy access and I didn't realize until recently but there are also two slim zippered pockets on the front panel on either side of the wipes. It's plenty big enough to fit everything we need for a full day out. I also have to say my husband likes carrying it since it looks just like a regular messenger bag. I do have to say though that I gave up carrying it around for little trips out during the day with my kid. It became too heavy and big for that use in addition to carrying a purse with it so I got a Skip Hop bag/purse to carry for myself when I'm alone and ditched the purse. We use this though on longer outings and when we're together. We've taken it on a very muddy trip and it wiped up really easily with a damp paper towel. I'd really recommend it for long outings and for your man to carry.   –   Judy L. - 12/02/2010


  –  easy to carry

We enjoy the fact that the backpack is large, easy to carry, easy access. I also got my husband the jacket which he uses every day.   –   Blythe B. - 11/11/2010


  –  Great bag

This bag was for my boyfriend because we decided we each wanted our own diaper bag. So far, we have been using only his, since we've been going everywhere together. Our son is now 10 days old, so the bag is still pretty new to us. However, it seems to be pretty great. Probably the best thing about it is that it really doesn't look like a diaper bag. It just looks like a typical messenger bag that a guy would take to work or something. It has plenty of room for the things we need, and I like the separate zippered compartments on each end for bottles, drinks, etc. I use them to bring a drink for myself.   –   Alison - 10/29/2010


  –  still in great shape

We got it three and a half years ago for our first daughter. It is being used for baby number two now and is still in great shape (we are not nice to it). Thank you for coming up with such a great product.   –   Mike and Shauna N. - 10/16/2010


  –  couldn't be happier

Your staff was phenomenal in finding me the right billboard style that would fit my style. I couldn't be happier with the bag. It works great for me. I carry it every day. It is super comfortable. Everything is accessible easily and has enough room for everything I need.   –   David L. - 10/07/2010


  –  the hit of both baby showers

I've purchased two of your jackets for friends and they've been the hit of both baby showers.   –   Lane K. - 10/05/2010


  –  impressed

I am planning to give the vest I purchased to my husband when we have the baby--I am so impressed with it! Very clever idea  –   Theresa C. - 10/05/2010


  –  We like it, but its not perfect

This bag is plenty big and east to carry. However, the built in wipe container isn't sealed well enough for the wipes to stay wet in a low humidity environment. For the high price we paid for this bag I expected it to function as well as a $2 wipe box you can get at the grocery store.  –   John C. - 09/25/2010


  –  very intuitive

My diaper bag is very girly and I think it's mean to make the husband carry that around-haha. Anyway, he absolutely LOVES it. It's very well made and has some great design work. I love that you can access the bottles from the inside and out via the side pockets. He finds the bag very intuitive.   –   Kelley G. - 08/18/2010


  –  Great Bag for Everyone

I purchased this bag for myself after my wife bought a different "girly" diaper bag. We both loved it so much that she decided to steal this one from me and it is now the only one that we use. The bag is very functional and roomy, and the accesible wipe holder is great!   –   Chris - 08/11/2010


  –  my husband felt so special

It's well made and well thought out. My husband felt so special on Father's day. We can't wait for our baby to arrive to fill it up:)  –   Trisha M - 07/19/2010


  –  absolutely rocks

Your product absolutely rocks. I tell every dad that is expecting to check it out. I will continue to promote for you as your product is that good.   –   Alex N. - 05/24/2010


  –  love all the room

What I love most is all the room! I've got two kids under the age of three and I really need all the space it offers. Of course it wouldn't be a dad-bag w/o the great art designs, so that goes without saying.  –   Luke A - 05/24/2010


  –  James Bond of fathers

The vest is great and makes me feel like the James Bond of fathers when it comes to diaper changes.   –   Tim M. - 05/06/2010


  –  total bag

Iam a single dad and really find this diaper bag to not look like the typical diaper bag on the outside but on the inside has all the space and pockets needed for everything. It is so stylish. I get lots of comments when I am out with my son.  –   David B. - 04/26/2010


  –  sex neutral bag

This is a sex neutral bag for carrying baby's gear. It is very subtle and has lots of organizational features.   –   LFW - 04/21/2010


  –  Awesome Bag

Awesome bag. I love it. It's cool, and it's far more functional than a useless designer bag that most women have and force upon their husbands.  –   Derek D. - 04/19/2010


  –  What a great concept

My brother in law absolutely loves his backapck diaper bag. He is a very neat and organized person. He is a new dad and is currently "at home" with his 4 month old twin daughters. He was so excited to show me the compartments of the bag and is especially excited about the wipes compartment. The bag I picked out for him matches their double jogger stroller. What a great concept. I'll be ordering another one for another brother in law whose 3rd child was born 2 weeks ago.  –   Karen M. - 04/18/2010


  –  One very satisfied customer

I came across multiple mentions of how great the DadGear customer service was. Your timely, informative, and rectifying response confirms those opinions, hands down!  –   Steven - 04/01/2010


  –  Fabulous!

Fabulous! Outstanding quality and customer service. I ordered the messenger bag for a baby shower. Why should the mom get all the presents?  –   Ann H. - 03/25/2010


  –  Cool Diaper Vest

Our newborn son would like to thank you. He's so enthusiastic that his dad has such a cool diaper vest! Even his family and friends like daddy's gadget! Thanks to all of you!  –   Bert V. - 02/23/2010


  –  Really satisfied with the quality

I was looking for a good diaper bag and found you guys online. Really satisfied with the quality of the bag, and the service your company provided. Ordering was simple, and all of my friends (who are also dad's) think the bag is awesome. Now I can take my son outside in style.  –   Matthew K. - 02/20/2010


  –  go-to baby gift

I two bags I've purchased already have been quite the hit - and recommended as future gifts. I wish I'd found your products sooner. The DadGear backpack is now my go-to baby gift. One that I know is helpful and adaptable as the baby grows. Thanks for such a great product.  –   Alicia A. - 02/12/2010


  –  met all his needs

My husband twittered about the bag the day he got it, and has been advocating it to all who will listen. He loves the fact that there was a diaper bag out there that said 'men are prents too' and that it met all his needs.  –   Lisette D. - 01/31/2010


  –  he loves it

I purchased the fleece for my husband for Christmas and he loves it. He actually shows it off to his friends - those with and without children.  –   Alison G. - 01/28/2010


  –  psyched

I bought one of your diaper bags as a Christmas gift for my husband. He was mortified at the thought of toting around the diaper bags we were seeing in stores. I actually read an article about DadGear awhile back and went online to see what you had. I loved everything and my husband is pretty psyched that he can look like a guy and still have a baby.  –   Nina - 01/28/2010


  –  Love your backpack

We love your backpack! It is so much easier to manage everything! We are especially excited to use it on our trip to Disney World next month! We have recommended it to all of our friends and will be buying another soon for a shower gift!  –   Jennifer M. - 01/27/2010


  –  Loved this cool bag!

This bag really helped my husband feel hip carrying a diaper bag. I had planned to get a more feminine diaper bag for me to carry, but I just ended up using this one, too, because I liked it so much. The only thing I don't like is that the bottom part of the clasp bangs against the bag and makes kind of an annoying sound if you don't fasten it. Overall, both my husband and I love it!   –   K - 01/14/2010


  –  Perfect Size

I really enjoy it. It's the perfect size, and the wipe holder is great. It works great and I show it off to everyone. I have many friends having babies, so I spread the word about your site…  –   Ryan S. - 01/03/2010


  –  Great for hauling stuff for multiples!

I think we went through 5 other diaper bags before finding this gem! With 18 month B/G twins, we still haul a lot of stuff even just to go out to eat. This bag is great for the storage capacity. You can fit plenty of diapers in the top pocket. The front pocket is great for things you need easy access to and the huge back section holds a ton of whatever you need to take - clothes, toys, extra food, etc. All in all, I can hold all the kids' stuff, PLUS my wallet, keys, lipgloss, etc. I also like the wipes dispenser on the front for easy access when I need to clean the kids' hands. I don't have to dig to the bottom to find them. The two, side bottle pockets are great for sippy cups of water, but I would not be as happy with them if I was still carrying around milk bottles that I wanted to stay cold, because they are not insulated. (They are also pretty narrow.) My only other con is that this is a LONG backpack and I am a short woman (5'2"). So it hits pretty far down on my rear end. But for the convenience of carrying EVERYTHING I want to and still having my hands free to deal with the twins, this diaper bag can not be beat.   –   Dallas - 01/01/2010


  –  good bag

First time parents. We like it. Lots of compartments and works well. We like the wipe thing and that is why we bought it. Not disappointed at all and no complaints.  –   D. Taylor - 11/27/2009


  –  A diaper bag for Daddy

My husband asked me to get a diaper bag that was gender neutral and that he would not be embarrassed to carry in public. I searched long and far for a daddy diaper bag that would be big enough to carry everything we needed for our everyday outings -- extra clothes for those diaper blowouts, diapers/wipes, toys, sippy cup/snacks, my wallet/phone/keys. While I like the look of this bag (we have it in blue), I find it a bit narrow. There are a bunch of pockets on the inside of the bag and while that is a good thing, once you put anything into the pockets there isn't much room in the main compartment. The measurements are comparable to a regular messenger bag. We will keep using it though since it makes daddy happy!  –   J.L. - 11/25/2009


  –  Such a great product

I enjoy my DadGear messenger bag. I try to show it to whomever I see with babies. I really like how the inside is so durable. My main reason for buying was definitely the wipes container and accessibilty. People are really impressed by it as well. Thank you for sucha great product. Continue the good work!   –   Jaimie W. - 11/03/2009


  –  Good find!

Although it's a DadGear-branded bag, I ordered this for both me and my husband to share. I did a lot of research and comparison shopping before making this purchase. Here's a summary -- Pros: neutral color/design, built-in (and refillable) wipes case, separate pocket for changing pad, stroller straps, top handle, sits upright, 2 interior pockets (one small, one large), adjustable shoulder strap. Cons: synthetic material odor, stiff material, small changing mat. Overall, it's a good find!   –   Nancy - 10/22/2009


  –  Good fit and quality

I loved the vest. It was a gift for a co-worker. I was impressed with the good fit and quality. I recommend your products to others.  –   Holly - 10/15/2009


  –  Excellent product

As the user of the product (i.e. the Dad), I want to say how impressed I am with it. Its size, functionality, and appearance have all met or exceeded expectations. I have received numerous compliments on my backpack. Most people are completely "blown away" when they realize it is a diaper bag and not a regular backpack. Excellent product!!!  –   Pat V. - 09/28/2009


  –  We love our backpack!

We love our DadGear backpack! Hnags at the right angle on the stoller (you don’t kick it when you walk), so many compartments for everything we could possibly need. The diaper pocket on top is so handy and I love the bottle pockets! They're so big, we can even fir the big bottles for adults! When I ordered the bag I somehow missed that it had the refillable wipes compartment. It was a great surprisewhen we got it! I commend DadGear on the ingenuity! GREAT PRODUCT!  –   Heather S. - 08/29/2009


  –  Not too bulky

The bag is awesome and surprisingly light despit the design. The material it is made with is soft and light. Size-wise it's nice. Not too bulky. The only possible drawback is the wipes container doesn't seem to be 100% air tight.  –   AA - 08/19/2009


  –  Good design, good quality

I bought a diaper jacket for an alternate purpose - to wear on plane rides, keep all my electronic gadgets handy and not accidentally leave them on a plane. The diaper pockets are the perfect size for a Kindle 2, including its case. The two zippered pockets work well for an iPod and a cell phone. The side pockets are handy for bottles of water or a map. I can even use the back pocket to carry a magazine or such, instead of a changing pad. This jacket is everything advertised, so I'm a satisfied customer. Good design, good quality.  –   M.

  –  Twin Mom approves

This bag has enough compartments of varying sizes that it accomodates everything that I need for my twosome. Right now I have it configured for 2 bottles on one side, juice or water bottle refills on the other side pocket, diapers and first aid items in the 2nd compartment, books and my wallet, etc in the first, toys in the biggest, and handy snacks in the smaller top part. The biggest compartment is big enough to put sand toys for both of them in and whatever else. Everything is conveniently placed! I used to have a bag work and a diaper bag for the kids, but now I just combine the two so I don't feel like a pack animal. Excellent!  –   J. Gilmore - 07/02/2009


  –  Absolutely fantastic diaper bag!

After conducting extensive diaper bag research, I found a bag that either parent could carry (a definite plus, as some diaper bags are "girly"), with organization to spare, plenty of room, plus an ergonomic backpack design that makes it easy to manage the kids while out and about: the Dad Gear Backpack Diaper Bag. Can't say enough good things about this bag! First, the wipes are easily accessible without even opening the pack, via a flip-down compartment on the outside. Genius! Second, there is a pocket for diapers that's on the very top of the bag, so you never have to dig around for them. Next, there are two deep side pockets (one on each side), and I routinely fit four cans of premade formula on one side, and a bottle on the other side with a zip-lock bag of extra drop-in bottle liners. Then there are two mesh pockets on the outside of the bag, perfectly sized for a sippy cup or spare bottle (or even my own water bottle). There are two organizational pockets in the front, one of which I use to store diaper supplies (lotions/creams, changing pad, extra wipes, hand sanitizer and the like), and the other I use for crayons, books, and a zip-lock bag with a bib and baby spoon. Finally, there's a huge middle pocket, which I use to store a spare outfit for each child (right down to the socks, in case of catastrophe), snacks for the toddler, baby food for the baby, toys, coloring books, board books and a few other odds and ends that make life easier. This bag is comfortable to carry, as well. We live close to Disney, and have used it on our frequent, all-day park excursions. The straps and the design of the bag make it easy to manage, and I highly recommend it to parents with more than one child! Worth the money! Daddy will thank you.  –   K. Gorgone - 05/08/2009


  –  Good for dads

We were looking for a bag that both mom and dad could carry without looking like a complete idiot, and this is about the only one out there. The bag is very well constructed, and so far I can't find anything wrong with it. In fact, when the bag came, the changing pad was not included. However - a testament to the customer service - when I complained about it, I was sent the missing part and had it within 2 days! I would definitely recommend this bag.   –   Lynn W. - 02/19/2009
