The Best Diaper Bag Backpacks for Dads On the Go

Military-inspired and possessing the functionality upon which its men and women depend, Active Doodie's bag is one of the most robust and rugged on this list. A camo waterproof changing pad, durable nylon body, and a 10-year warranty, this will wear out after your kid leaves for college.

Honestly, we just did the look of this thing. It's sleek as hell. It's also practical as hell, with 11 pockets, and two insulated side pockets. It looks like a commuter bag moonlighting as a diaper bag. We approve.

Ready for the worst weather your role as a parent will take you through, this water-resistant neoprene backpack shirks off the most extreme precipitation. It's also padded so your baby essentials will stay safe. A host of zippered and slip-in pockets inside and out keeps your gear neatly organized.

Speaking of sleek and handsome: Meet the Wayb. It's got everything you need for the park, the playground, or a dinner date. Remember those? There's a handy vertical side zip; and a wipeable compartment at the base of the bag lets you easily stow dirty clothes, shoes, or diapers. There's a padded laptop compartment, an integrated luggage sleeve, and four external pockets and four internal pockets.

Made from recycled water bottles, the vegan leather Elkin has a frog-mouth opening, allowing you full access to its main compartment's contents. There are also a number of interior and exterior pockets, a sleeve for your laptop if you need to bang out some work on the go, and a removable changing pad.

Yeah, it's pricy, but Caraa's big one is both surprisingly large and shockingly lightweight. You're going to be throwing a ton of stuff in its generous interior compartment, including (if you must) a 13-inch laptop, so every ounce counts, and at three pounds, there aren't a lot that come stock. With multiple carry options, including cross-body, backpack, a handle, and over your stroller, there's enough options to keep your discomfort to a minimum as you chase your child through a parking lot.

Beaba makes our favorite baby food maker, and the French brand knows its stuff when it comes to baby gear as well. This diaper bag has a large, structured doctor bag opening for seamless access to anything you need inside. The main compartment is roomy enough to fit everything from dirty clothes to diapers. It has eight interior and exterior pockets, and comes with an isothermal pouch, padded changing mat, and stroller straps. And the bag is water-resistant.

Your bottles and diapers won't ever mix in this bag, thanks to its unique and clever organization system. There's a a separate feeding and changing pod, for meals and clothing and diaper changes. The wipe-clean backpack has a spacious interior that's big enough for tablets or laptops, and a large exterior pocket for your phone and keys.

When less is more, you need the Moby. It goes from backpack to messenger bag to satchel. It has 12 pockets inside the bag, including a cell phone pocket, and an interior bottle pocket. And this is a small detail yet one missing from so many bags: This one has gunmetal feet on the bottom, because it's going to come into contact with some pretty nasty floors and this keeps the bottom of it protected.
