2. HSD Diaper Bag Backpack

HSD stands for “High Speed Daddy,” who was a sergeant in the U.S. Army. HSD didn’t want to carry around a feminine diaper bag for his three kids, so he created the masculine HSD Diaper Bag Backpack out of durable military materials. The heavy-duty bag provides insulated bottle pockets, quick access to baby wipes, a diaper changing mat, and stroller straps, plus plenty of storage space. This diaper bag for men is available in four different colors: black, coyote brown, ranger green, and camo. The large capacity of the Tactical Diaper Bag can easily hold all of your essentials without weighing you down.

The Tactical Baby Gear Daypack 3.0 features a large main compartment, “drop-zone” changing mat, and two exterior bottle holders. This rugged diaper bag backpack is made to last, and can be used for other purposes after your baby outgrows diapers.

Columbia’s Carson Pass Backpack Diaper Bag resembles a hiking pack rather than a traditional diaper bag, and that’s perfect for dads.
