I like the look of these don’t-look-like-diaper-bags diaper bags by Allen Ave. Very glossy. They seem like a good fit for a metrosexual sort of Dad.

these are great. Crazy, I just noticed them on Costco.com last night and tucked them away in my future-blog-posts. And they aren’t crazy expensive like so many trendy bags!
Oh, now those are the first cool diaper bags I’ve seen in a while!

I love these. Way better than the old plastic Target bag I have caught my husband trying to leave the house carrying!
