Q&A: What are some more masculine alternatives to diaper bags for dads?

We can't talk about diaper bags for dad without first mentioning the guy who started it all, the Diaper Dude. Tired of using his wife's fab yet girlie bag, the Dude created his own line of hip and cool dad-centric bags. There's something for every Dad in this line, from camouflage to basic black, to eco-friendly styles.

If high style is your thing, nothing says it better than Storksak's Jamie Unisex. It comes in both black and Espresso and uber-dad Brad Pitt uses one—need we say more?

If a shoulder bag isn't for you, old-school style backpacks are making a comeback. Skip Hop and JJ Cole make simple carry-alls that don't scream Baby but do scream Dad. Another great backpack option is Broad Bay Cotton who makes diaper bags that can be personalized with Dad's favorite NCAA team logo. Go Buckeyes!

If you're still not feeling the bag thing, check out DadGear's Diaper Vest and Cargo Jackets. Instead of carrying a traditional bag, dad can stash everything he needs for baby care inside cleverly concealed pockets of this fleece vest or jacket. With no bag to carry, dad also stays "hands free." Another diaper bag alternative is the Baby Mel "Tool Pouch," a versatile tote that can be used long after Baby is out of diapers.

Finally, for the Dad who wants to keep it simple, check out the Daddy Bottle Holster. This suede, Sherpa cozy can attach to any bag, backpack, strap or belt. Definitely not your mama's diaper bag!
