Columbia Trekster Diaper Bag Review

Sometimes the time comes when the Dad has to be the one in charge of the diaper bag, and when those instances occur, the Dad needs his own diaper bag to take around town.  That is exactly what I have in the form of a Columbia Trekster Diaper Bag.  It's not the typical diaper bag that you might see a new mom carrying around, but rather a really "cool" bag that any man is able to carry around without losing any of his credibility.  That's a nice thing to, because I am not the biggest fan of purple or turquoise bags used to carry around our daughter's diaper changing needs. 

This isn't just a diaper bag for the style aspect though, because it has a lot of functionality as well.  It comes with a thermal bottle chamber that is insulated to keep a chilled bottle cold, it has a portable and padded changing mat that comes with its own bag for disposals, and it has multiple organizer pockets to keep everything in its place when you aren't using one of those many changing time tools.  There is also a little pocket for pacifiers as well as a larger area to store diapers, blankets, or anything else you might want to carry around with you that could be needed at a moment's notice.

I think I like this diaper bag better than the other ones in the house because it doesn't even seem like a diaper bag unless you open it up.  It can be worn like a back-pack with some great (padded) shoulder straps, or carried by the nice thick (and durable) handle on the top of the bag.  The bag is also waterproof, so you don't have to worry about any of the contents getting wet if you get caught in the rain, or want to use the bag to help out the baby on a long hike.  Easy to carry, built really well, and made with a million pockets and holders, this is one of those tools that make it more fun for a guy to lug around the baby products.
