The story behind the Fathercraft diaper bag
Being a dad is one of life’s great adventures.
And a great bag will inspire you to have more adventures with your kids, whether you’re climbing a mountain or scaling the monkey bars at the local park.
Our co-founder John carried around a green-and-white polka dot Kate Spade diaper bag for years…but he dreamed of a better option.
A diaper bag for men built just for dads.
So Fathercraft built the ultimate, store-it-all, grab-and go, travel-ready, stylish, smart and built-to-last diaper bag for modern dads, masculine caregivers, and any parent who appreciates durability and good design.
Why parents call this the best dad diaper bag

This diaper bag is the iPhone of diaper bags, and is the only one worth buying. We literally have 4 different brands/styles, and I get so frustrated with them all, except this one.

This bag is excellent! The versatility, including the ability to use as a backpack or shoulderbag, the removable organizer and mini bag, is unparalleled.

My one request to my wife was to let me choose a diaper bag that was actually functional and optimal for us both to take our son into the world on a regular basis. THIS BAG IS PERFECT!

Meticulously designed! 5/5 would buy again. Bag really feels high quality, the material is plush and feels urban but not too pretentious for the rural suburbs.
Engineered to be exceptionally versatile and comfortable
The Fathercraft Bag blends form and function to fit the multiple roles you play.
What starts as a diaper backpack for dad seamlessly transforms into a toddler bag, then a dad bag, and might just become your everyday carry.
Organized, Spacious Storage
A diaper bag is only as good as what it can carry. That’s why we spent years developing a bag that allowed us to store as much as we need while still being easy to access.
Compartments include:
- Safe zones for your cell phone and laptop
- Sleek compartments to stash wipes, diapers, keys, etc.
- Configurable internal compartments
- Stash-n-dash pockets
- Mesh compartment for wet stuff
Durable and Accessible Construction
Fatherhood requires a lot of on-the-go activity, which means the diaper bag has to be ready for anything. When we designed and developed this bag, we knew it would have to keep up with our busy adventures.
The diaper bag features:
- Multiple entry and grab points
- Foldable, storable changing pad that can be wiped down
- Easy-to-clean material and durable construction
- Grabbable zipper pulls & easy-to-use buckles

Bag FAQs
Is the Fathercraft diaper bag waterproof?
Not fully, no. But we designed the bag with strategic pockets that compartmentalize spills and messes. And a dedicated laptop sleeve keeps everything away from your machine.
Can I use a regular bag as a diaper bag?
Plenty of people do. But we designed the Fathercraft Bag to serve you across three major life stages: the baby stage, where you’ll find pockets galore and a changing pad. The big kid stage, where those same pockets come in handy and the bag is big enough for all the stuff you’re going to need to haul, plus a leave-behind storage cube. And finally the you stage, where you can use this bag for years as a sleek messenger or backpack.
Does dad need a diaper bag?
Look, plenty of couples share a diaper bag. Doesn’t mean you should.
Does the Fathercraft bag contain animal byproducts?
Nope. The bag is 100% vegan.
How soon does The Fathercraft Bag ship?
Order now and your bag will leave our warehouse in 1-2 days.
Where is The Fathercraft Bag available?
A fathercraft.com exclusive, the bag ships from Denver, Colorado. We can ship anywhere in the world, but please note as a small business, shipping to some countries is a little pricey.
My family went from 1-3 because of this crazy idea we had to foster and adopt two newborn babies 7 months apart. Ha ha ha ha! Silly us. This bag amazingly holds everything we need for three kids including toys, snacks, and school supplies for our homeschooled 5 year old AND a treat for mama 🫠 every kid has toys for the car, things to chew on, sensory toys to relieve anxiety, and everything in between. I love all the possible ways to set up a changing station to-go as I often need extra outfits for the babies and swim gear for the big kid. Along with clips, you can easily attach extra things like poop bag dispensers or extra hand sanitizer as well as the all important fake car keys. I did have a bag clip break which was surprising, but fathercraft replaced the bag immediately and were so great! Love supporting this group as I have used their honest reviews and feedback in many of the products I’ve chosen in my home. Thank you guys!
My Daughter and SIL put this Fathercraft backpack on their baby registry so I ordered it for them. It was delivered to the wrong address. I rec’d notification it was delivered to my house and it showed the front porch of a different house. I called fathercraft and Paul answer the phone and was so nice and helpful immediately. He reached out to UPS and then he told me to file a claim with UPS and then UPS told me that the sender should file the claim it went back and forth, but the whole while Paul was just trying to help me get the bag as I told him it was a shower gift for my kids. He was so very helpful and it was so nice to have his help and support for 48 hours until the bag was re-delivered to my house. He was patient and always did what he said he was going to do and kept in close contact until the bag was in my hands! It was really the best customer service experience I’ve ever had.
This diaper bag is awesome. My wife originally got us a “pretty” diaper bag but it was not doing it for us. I had heard of this bag through the Fathercraft podcast and decided to try it out. It’s been phenomenal. So functional and purposefully spacious. You can tell that a lot of thought went into the design. It’s a quality product and will last for all the kiddos to come. Very happy with the purchase!!
I absolutely love the Father Craft Bag—it’s a game changer for parents on the go! This bag has truly thought of everything, from its spacious compartments to the practical, easy-to-reach design. I can pack everything I need for my kids and still have room for more. The insulated bottle holders are perfect for keeping drinks at the right temperature, and the sturdy, wipeable material makes cleaning up after spills a breeze. Plus, the straps are comfortable, so it’s easy to carry, even when fully loaded. It’s clear that this bag was designed with real parents in mind, offering both style and functionality. I’m always prepared for anything, and that peace of mind is priceless! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, durable, and well-thought-out diaper bag.
Superb design. I have always been a buff on high-end travel bags & camping gear. Now that I am a dad l’ve got this! The portable mini bag, what we call the “man cube”, goes everywhere with us!
Great bag! Was a gift and he loved it, using it and finds it very helpful as a new dad.
This is the holy grail of diaper bags. Kids need lots of stuff, and this bag can successfully handle it *all*. Changing pad? Check. Pockets on pockets? Check. A SEPARATE STORAGE CUBE? Check!
The bag is big (it sort of has to be, given what’s required to take a young child out in public), but I was amazed by how lightweight it felt while wearing it. It also gets huge points for versatility — I wear it as a backpack, my husband wears it as a messenger bag, and the storage cube gets sent off with the grandparents when our child asks to ride in grandpa’s truck on the way back from a family dinner.
The quick-release buckles are one of my favorite features. Fathercraft made it super easy to access the essentials for a quick diaper change or a snack. But there’s plenty of room for a jacket, blanket, coloring book, or lovey (all of which we have packed into this bag).
Finally, I don’t have any worries about the bag falling apart. It seems like it was built to last.
Would highly recommend!
The Fathercraft Diaper bag is terrific! We were worried that it was going to be too big, but the combination of lightweight material and versatility made it fit right into our day. My first trip with the bag was out to the children’s museum. It fit enough snacks, diapers, changes of clothes, and emergency toys we needed, and I barely even registered I was carrying it for half of our trip. One of my favorite features were the buckles for the messenger bag flap. They were easy to unfasten with one hand but durable enough for me never to have to worry that it would fly open as I chased my child down the hallway. I would definitely recommend this bag!
