The story behind Fathercraft's Dad Bags
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.
All of our bags feature

You’ll be proud to wear this bag for years to come as either a messenger bag or a backpack.
Tons of pockets

Convenient changing pad
The oversized changing pad stows easily, ready for one-handed access at any time.
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. And, unfortunately with the global tariff situation, we cannot be responsible for the import duties you may pay.
We’ve been using the Fathercraft bag for about two years now, and we absolutely love it. It has consistently been our go-to bag, always packed and ready with snacks, toys, diapers, and first-aid supplies. It holds everything we need like a champ while still fitting easily under our stroller or hanging from the handlebars.
We primarily use it as a sling, which makes it perfect for quick grab-and-go outings. But when we need to carry it for longer walks, the backpack straps are fantastic and incredibly easy to pull out. That versatility has made it even more useful for our family.
We did recently have a small issue with the stitching on the sling strap, but when I reached out to their warranty email, the customer service was excellent. I was honestly surprised by how quickly they responded, and I really feel they went above and beyond to make it right.
Overall, I could not be more impressed. Great bag, great design, and outstanding customer service.
You often hear about companies that stand by their product. I often wonder, do they really? In this case, the answer is a resounding — YES! A little over a year and a half ago I was about to become the primary caregiver to my first daughter (aka “The House Spouse”). I wanted a bag that was not only versatile and durable, but also didn’t make me feel like I was going into tactical combat nor walking in the set of “Clueless.” It seemed like those were my two options until I found Fathercraft. A modest messanger bag/backpack that has the capacity to carry everything you want for any situation or travel as light as you need when strolling around a museum.
Needless to say, this bag fit the bill. Then, fast forward a 1.5 years later to today (August 22, 2025). While running late for storytime at our local library with my bag slung over my shoulder, daughter in one hand, and water bottle in the other — the strap ripped as I was plopping everything down. I reached out to Fathercraft thinking that I could connect to a customer service rep in order to buy a new bag or send it in to get repaired. To my utter surprise the following happened:
1. Paul, the co-founder responded to my email a few hours later
2. Paul offered to personally help replace my bag and deliver it himself
3. Paul delivered the new bag as promised and didn’t ask for the old bag in exchange (though offered several times)
What can I say?! The bag has worked amazingly and will continue it’s utility as a messenger/backpack well after it carries all the baby supplies I need. I will continue to speak of Fathercraft’s resolve to stand by it’s product to any parent in the market for a first bag or a replacement bag that hasnt lived up to expectations.
You will not be disappointed.
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.
