Need Help Finding a Dad Diaper Bag
I’m looking to find a good, dad-proven diaper bag. Not too big, and not too small. Not girly and not too guy-flashy (I don’t need skulls to prove my manhood). Something that nails the most-used features (whatever those are – comments?).
Any help?
My baby is due second half of January.
I’ve done some online research at the following sites, but wanted to know from folks with real-world field-tested results:
Please leave a comment. Thanks!

NPR Covers the Stay At Home Dinosaurs
Check out the audio track coverage by National Public Radio for the story I just posted on the Stay At Home Dinosaurs.
You can find the article with audio link here.
My favorite part:
"What I really love about it is that these are representatives of the most ferocious and terrifying lineage of animals that ever was, right? Including close relatives of T. Rex and company," says Prum. "So it's really ironic to me that these macho, bipedal meat-eaters were good dads."
Yeah, just like this one.
Being a Stay At Home Dad is for the Birds
From the Washington Post, in an article about a recent study in the journal of Science:
Males protect or support offspring in more than 90 percent of bird species -- a distinctly rare attribute in the animal world. In mammals, males provide parental care in 5 percent of species, and it's even rarer in reptiles.
The report discusses the findings of paleontologists that found evidence of male dinosaurs watching over the eggs and incubating them while the ladies took care of themselves, in more ways than one:
The evolutionary advantage of stay-at-home fathers is also unknown, although Jackson has a theory.
Females needed to consume large amounts of food -- and especially food high in calcium -- to produce the number of eggs seen in the oviraptor and troodon nests. That required lots of long-distance foraging and lots of time away from home.
"So the male tends the eggs, leaving her free to look after her own nutrition and possibly to mate with other males," she said.
Um.
I don’t like the sound of that.
