Let's hear it for the dads! The days of dear old dad staying out of the nursery are a thing of the past — today's pops are redesigning the baby's room, bottle, and more. With more fathers taking on child-rearing responsibilities, they're upgrading lil one's gear with some touches that both moms and dads can appreciate. Just in time for Father's Day, meet the men who are making baby-raising healthier, easier, and more stylish than ever.
A diaper bag has become more of a fashion accessory than nappy slinging tote. From girly Petunia Pickle sacks to pricey Juicy Couture bags, ladies have the pick of the litter. The unfortunate flip side of the fancy bags is that many of us have a husband who refuses to lay a finger on our pretty paisley packs. So think about investing in a bag that's suitable for both parents such as the Diaper Dude ($60). Each diaper dude is made with function in mind, but is cool enough to pass as a hip messenger bag that either sex won't mind carrying around town.
