PPB has done it again with their Petunia Pickle Bottom Scout Journey Pack. This time, though, it’s a dad diaper bag.

I love Petunia Pickle Bottom, especially their Cake collection. However, the Scout collection introduced in Fall 2009 is definitely near the top of my list in men’s diaper bags. It’s one my husband would carry without complaint.

Too many times we focus on diaper bags for women and forget dads. Yet this is a bag that certainly gives men style, in the masculine sense, as well as function. The Scout Journey Pack in Heathered Olive Green, for example, has a sort of rugged look similar to many messenger bags and guide bags, but is designed with baby in mind. It features plenty of pockets including bottle pockets, magazine pocket, and cell phone pocket. It also includes a water-resistant changing pad that snaps into a compartment for storage, stroller clips, easy to clean lining, and custom Scout monogrammed plastic wipes case.

This bag was reviewed as best Daddy diaper bag by babble.com.

Congrats Mom! As I’m sure you already know, raising a child is a 2 person job. But good luck getting Dad to tote around your new Vera Bradley Diaper Bag!

Could a new Dad ask for anything more? These bags look stylish and trendy on the outside, yet provide Dads with the necessary storage and organization on the inside.

A great example is Dadgear’s Messenger Diaper Bag. With a black nylon outer shell, this bag looks like nothing more than a typical commuter bag. But open it up and it’s a totally different story.

The main compartment sports 2 deep diaper pockets and 2 bottle holders, yet there is still enough room for plenty of snacks and stuffed animals. The outside compartment has a place for a wet nap dispenser, and hidden behind the main compartment is a collapsible changing mat. The bag can even be attached to the back of a stroller. Dad would be impressed! Can you say “First Father’s Day Gift”?
