When I was pregnant my husband and I had many chats about how we envisioned various things would be with the baby. One topic in particular was who would carry the baby / stroll the baby more and who would carry the diaper bag more. This might not seem like a big deal, but it was for Greg because he was adamant about having a cool diaper bag to carry if he was going to be the primary carrier of it. I figured he would be, seeing as I thought I’d do more of the baby wearing. So. I went off in search of an eco-friendly diaper bag that was masculine (but that I would also like, of course!).
Twas not as easy as I thought. A good many diaper bags are on the feminine side. And, with the limited selection of eco friendly materials, it was even harder to find something. Therefore, I started looking for bags that weren’t actually diaper bags and instead were bags with extra compartments. However, that required shopping online for it because I couldn’t find any stores with a good selection of eco friendly bags. But, the problem with shopping online for a bag that was not known to be a diaper bag, but that I would use as a diaper bag, wasn’t real easy. It was hard to tell from the descriptions as to whether it’d make a great diaper bag. At least when you buy an actual diaper bag there are standards that you can expect… lots of different pockets, the size of the bag and pockets, etc. (I don’t think my pictures do the cool bag justice… Check out their site for more details.)
Enter: Diaper Dude.
Wow, what a perfect solution. Masculine. Eco friendly. Diaper Bag. A friend turned me on to this bag and I couldn’t believe it. It was perfect. (I don’t think they’re all eco friendly on the website, but they have a section specific to eco friendly). It’s made from recycled plastic water bottles, loaded with pockets (on the front, back, side, and inside), and masculine. The funny thing is that I love it, too! It’s an awesome bag and will definitely be used even after it’s not being used as a diaper bag. (I don’t think my pictures really do this cool bag justice…)
