Dad Gear Vest

I seriously think when our LOs arrive, DH will NOT want to carry a diaper bag.

As it is, if I ask him to hold my bag (like if I'm running into a pubic restroom or something), he holds it like a football!

Has anyone seen these in person? It looks like a pretty good solution for the Dads ... I guess any vest with tons of pockets would do the trick though.

Re: Dad Gear Vest

they have awesome dad-diaper bags as sporty backpacks, too.

Re: Dad Gear Vest

Hmm for $79 dollars I'm not sure how I feel about this.
What if it's not vest wearing weather?
It doesn't look like it holds a lot. I know the site says it holds all a diaper bag holds, but it doesn't appear that way... and if it does... would it be comfortable to wear all the items in a diaper bag?? Wouldn't that be bulky??

IDK. I guess i'm just not sold on it. I'd rather go with a man diaper bag. And the bag is really going to be hung on a the carriage anyway so he shouldn't have to hold it too often.

I also haven't thought too much about this part... I figure if the dad has the kid it's understood he needs the diapers, wipes, clothes, bottles, changing pad, etc... all the stuff you would keep in a bag and thus he would just take the bag with the baby with him out of necessity.

Re: Dad Gear Vest

my DH isn't crazy about a diaper bag either, but he actually saw one he liked at BRU made my Columbia. It was grey, sporty and small. I think im going to buy it for him as a gift.

Re: Dad Gear Vest

I use this diaper bag:



DH uses it and has no issues.

I wouldn't be able to leave the house for ONE HOUR with that vest. sometimes the bag isn't even enough!!!

Re: Dad Gear Vest

also while diaper bags are great - really in many ways they are just a messenger bag with a few extra pockets and a changing pad that matches. .why not just get him a messenger bag that he likes. . would he hold that. . you can probably even get something from a sporting good store or army/navy. and same with just a regular backpack. . all it needs is a wipe case and a changing pad and voila - diaper bag!

the vest seems like it would be a PITA during the summer and while it would be great on occasion it seems like it would get old fast .

Re: Dad Gear Vest

DH just used a backpack. Less expensive and way more practical

Re: Dad Gear Vest

Thanks for talking me out of an unnecessarily expensive purchase girls! I'm sure I'll have more of these silly ideas as the months go by.

Re: Dad Gear Vest

To be honest, I though DH would have issues walking around with the diaper bag too. But when he realized I wasn't packing a special bag for him, he just took the diaper bag that was always stocked and ready to go, "girly" or not

Re: Dad Gear Vest

We got this for my DH. It looks like a regular backpack but has lots of pockets and is insulated so you can keep bottles cold.



Here's the LINK in case you are interested.

There is also a whole line of bags called Diaper Dude that he might like Diaper Dude

HTH!

Re: Dad Gear Vest

DH is worse than me...he has 2 diaper bags!
