Diaper Dude as park bag?

[lilybrooke14]

I've been looking at these for a long time. I really love the fact that they're stylish, and that DH wouldn't feel like a girl carrying one. I know they're a bit high for a diaper bag, and I'm okay with that. I have no problem spending money for quality. There is nowhere locally that carries them in-store, so I'll have to order it online, sight unseen. Has anyone used this as a park bag? Last time we took a JJ Cole Logic diaper bag as our park bag, and it worked pretty well. We did have a few complaints with the backpack style though, and there wasn't really a good way to attach it to the stroller.

So....

1. Does the Diaper Dude have enough room inside for all the stuff you need for a day at the park? I don't take a ton of stuff, but some people complained online that the inside wasn't very deep.

2. Is it comfortable to carry around all day and take on rides?

3. Does it hold up well after lots of use? We'll be using it often and for a long time (which is why I don't take issue with the cost). I don't want it to fall apart.

If you have any information, thank you.

I don't own one, but I have seen one in the store. It was the model that is sort of like a messenger bag, but with 3 big pockets across the front. Anyway, it seemed like it was durable and well made (the one I saw was a canvas fabric -- like a Skip Hop). It wasn't particularly bulky (it lies kind of flat against your body) but would have been big enough for me in the parks.

If you like the look, I think you should go for it.

Another non-owner here, but I got one for a friend for a shower gift (for her DH) and I also got her a Timi and Leslie bag. She stole the Diaper Dude from her DH because she loved it so much! She told me she preferred the size, it held more than the other bag but still was less bulky. I think it would be a perfect park bag.

Thanks for the responses. I was actually at Babies R Us yesterday, and they had one. Someone must have bought it online and returned it to the store. It was the wrong color (pink and brown, kind of defeats the whole "manly diaper bag" aspect) but it was perfect in every other way! The inside had plenty of room, and it was really comfortable! Thanks again.
