Daddy diaper bags?

I want to get DH a Christmas gift that is related to the baby. I was googling for ideas and found this daddy diaper bag. There are tons of different colors - I am thinking a camouflage one. Do you think dads actually use these though? I am trying to think of when he would have the baby alone. Once in awhile I am sure but not often. Probably if he goes to his mom's and I find an excuse not to go, LOL. Do you think it is a good gift or should I just get some kind of daddy book?

We have a diaper dude and love it. DH carries it all the time and I've swapped mine out and use his most of the time. I think the one we have is the messenger deluxe (?) but it's similar to what you are showing just a little bigger.

My husband carries the Skip Hop messenger bag in green.  He's not much of a camouflage guy.  But certainly daddies need a bag, one way or the other!

I bought MH one of these for fathers day.  He has already used it a couple of times, and our little guy has only been on the outside for a couple of weeks.  I love that he has his own bag.  And I have the Skip Hop Studio, so his will be much more utilizational once our baby is bigger for park and zoo trips, etc.

We have a diaper bag in each car so we don't have to haul it back and forth all the time. We both have messenger style bags and like then. The diaper dudes are a little pricey but the all are really. DH wouldn't have appreciated it as a Christmas present but maybe yours will.

DH had no interest in me spending money on a special daddy diaper bag.  He just used the free one from the hospital(black, messenger style).

I think they are a good idea.  We got just a plain brown bag from Target, I think its an Eddie Bauer diaper bag.  Having a bag that dad feels ok carrying also helps make the case if you wanted to get a cute diaper bag for yourself (ie, when I bought myself a Coach diaper bag)!

DH has a Diaper Dude in gray and orange and uses it whenever he takes the kids out.  They're great if your husband is kind of particular.

I guess I am in the minority but I could never be bothered to keep 2 diaper bags stocked.  We've always used a black one that either one of us could carry.

Ditto.

We both use the Moby backpack style diaper bag (got it on BabySteals), in brown.

I registered for two bags, one of them was this bag.  It's not at all girly, so DH can carry it. The one I want is a Kalencom Weekender that is huge and much cuter. ;)

my husband wanted a Diaper Dude messenger style bag.  We got it as a shower gift and he's pretty excited about it.
After an emergency cerclage and modified bed rest at 21.5 weeks, we welcomed our babies via scheduled c-section at 38.5 weeks! Truly blessed!

My husband registered for a Eddie Bauer backpack diaper bag. LO is due today so we have not had a chance to use it but I know DH would not want to use my diaper bag even if it was solid black.
For some of DH's friends, they could care less about the diaper bag and tote around the animal print/ pink bags. I guess it depends on what type of guy your husband is.

My husband uses a small backpack that we had gotten for a trip to Italy. He would much rather carry the backpack than any other type of bag, even if it looked "manly." I recommend a backpack!!

This is the same diaper bag DH has (we leave it in his car with him).  It is the best diaper bag we have ever had.  I try to steal it when I can : ).
