Diaper Dude Messenger II ($95 @ Amazon.com)
Okay, so this is more like the best messenger bag for dads. That said, if you have a kid, it’s perfect. If you don’t but know someone who’s expecting, it can be a great gift. (We’re pretty certain he’ll appreciate using this bag instead of his wife’s pastel-colored tote with the flowers on it.)
Inside the bag, most space is dedicated to diapers, formula, baby wipes, and toys. There’s also an insulated bottle holder and a changing pad with breathable material. But you’ll still have plenty of room for a laptop, tablet, and other gadgets. In other words, it’s a top men’s messenger bag for busy dads.
