Great bag! Was a gift and he loved it, using it and finds it very helpful as a new dad.

This is the holy grail of diaper bags. Kids need lots of stuff, and this bag can successfully handle it *all*. Changing pad? Check. Pockets on pockets? Check. A SEPARATE STORAGE CUBE? Check!

The bag is big (it sort of has to be, given what’s required to take a young child out in public), but I was amazed by how lightweight it felt while wearing it. It also gets huge points for versatility — I wear it as a backpack, my husband wears it as a messenger bag, and the storage cube gets sent off with the grandparents when our child asks to ride in grandpa’s truck on the way back from a family dinner.

The quick-release buckles are one of my favorite features. Fathercraft made it super easy to access the essentials for a quick diaper change or a snack. But there’s plenty of room for a jacket, blanket, coloring book, or lovey (all of which we have packed into this bag).

Finally, I don’t have any worries about the bag falling apart. It seems like it was built to last.

Would highly recommend!

The Fathercraft Diaper bag is terrific! We were worried that it was going to be too big, but the combination of lightweight material and versatility made it fit right into our day. My first trip with the bag was out to the children’s museum. It fit enough snacks, diapers, changes of clothes, and emergency toys we needed, and I barely even registered I was carrying it for half of our trip. One of my favorite features were the buckles for the messenger bag flap. They were easy to unfasten with one hand but durable enough for me never to have to worry that it would fly open as I chased my child down the hallway. I would definitely recommend this bag!

I bought the Fathercraft bag for my husband, and OMG, it’s awesome – we both love it! As parents to a 4-year-old and 1-year-old, we’ve tried a handful of diaper bags. But this one? Total holy grail. It’s stylish, great quality, super functional (inserts, zippers, & magnetic buckles in all the right places), and you can rock it as a backpack or messenger. It really seemed like the Fathercraft team thought of everything while designing this bag. If you’re on the hunt for the ultimate dad (and mom) bag that can carry all the things & be used for years to come, this is it. Highly recommend!

Extremely well designed and excellent material quality. Just a bit too big for our lifestyle at the moment.

I gifted the Fathercraft Bag to my husband, and he LOVES it. I never expected him to be so excited about a bag. Seriously!
There are a few things that stand out about this bag.
1) This is the only diaper bag we have come across that is made just for dads!
2) It is super functional—this bag has pockets and compartments for everything!
3) The quality is really top-notch.
It’s not just a diaper bag, it’s a dad survival kit. Highly recommend!

I think the bag is great, love it and I’ve recommended it to fellow parents! The construction and design of the are superb. The modularity and customizability make it so I can tailor it to my needs and preferences. The fathercraft bag is literally always ready to go in our house, just add some snacks and we’re good to go. And, once it’s served it’s time as a diaper bag, I plan to use it as a backpack for myself.

It’s a really great bag. I first used the bag as our hospital bag with everything we would need for our stay and it held just about everything. After using it for a week with our newborn I’ve gotten to know it a bit better, but not super well. I do wish they had two sizes as this bag is perfect for a full day out with lots of things, but for quick doctors appointments or a trip to the park and a walk in a stroller it is bigger than it needs to be. I have a patagonia sling bag that I use for such occasions. Otherwise the bag is very well designed and the buckles alone are worth it. I wanted a bag that both myself and my wife would be happy to take around that weren’t very “mom” like or the “tactical” baby bags that army dads are into. It’s a nice looking functioning diaper bag that has a great build quality that I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again, however I would also invest in a small bag for quick trips.

Great bag! Got is as a gift for my husband and so far we are loving it. Roomy main compartment with loads of smart pockets and zippers to access from every side. Carabiners look durable and are easy to use. It will definitely be repurposed as a gym bag after we no longer need a diaper bag (seems durable enough to last that long!)

I am a first time Dad (but an engineer and OCD Dad to say the least).

My one request to my wife was to let me choose a diaper bag that was actually functional and optimal for us both to take our son into the world on a regular basis. THIS BAG IS PERFECT!

Consistent with Fathercraft blogs/videos… It can be carried as an over-the-shoulder bag (my preference) or as a backpack (my wife’s preference). It has external and internal access to pouches for ease of access. Every time I think “it would be nice if the diaper bag had X or Y”, I find this bag already has it. Whether it be a carabiner clips, easy buckle magnetic snaps, diaper changing pads, internal organization dividers, etc. We can pack for a small two hour outing or or a full day at the beach (including packing our dogs’ needs as well). This bag is above and beyond what I have hoped for in terms of versatility and quality.

Beyond STRONGLY RECOMMEND! All dads who want to be involved (and OCD) would love this bag.
