Skip Hop Via Messenger Diaper Bag {Dad's Day Giveaway}

Still running around trying to figure out what to get the new dad in your life for Father’s Day? We’ve got a great solution for you: a Skip Hop Diaper Bag. The Skip Hop brand is one of our favorites and the smart practical design we love is evident in the diaper bags. Parents have raved about the ever-expanding Skip Hop Diaper Bag collection and one of the staples is the versatile Via Messenger Bag.

Meet the Via Messenger Diaper Bag

The Skip Hop VIA MESSENGER is an amazingly organized and functional diaper bag with a super sleek style. With eighteen pockets, the VIA MESSENGER has spots for everything you and baby need when you hit the road. There are bottle pockets, compartments for food, cups, toys and more. There’s also a special pocket protected by Agion® antimicrobial lining which helps reduce odor-causing bacteria. The VIA MESSENGER includes the new Shuttle Clips; a unique strap and fastening system that allows the VIA to attach neatly and conveniently to the handlebars of any stroller and then convert into a cool, hip messenger-style diaper bag. When attached to the stroller, you can leave the shoulder strap attached or remove it for a cleaner look. The VIA MESSENGER includes magnetic closures throughout and a comfy shoulder pad.

Stylish Diaper Bag for Dads

I’ll admit that I am quite drawn to very feminine diaper bags that my husband would not be caught dead carrying. On the other hand, there are some diaper bags marketed toward men that I find rather unfortunate and would prefer not to carry. In the peaceful and practical middle is Skip Hop and the Via Messenger. Simple, stylish design + high functionality = diaper bag winner for all parents.

The bag comes in four solid colors that won’t scare dad and are wardrobe friendly for mom. The Via Messenger has an impressive 18 (yes, eighteen!) pockets, including zippered pockets and spots for up to four bottles or sippy cups, and has lighter color interior to make it easy to find things inside. It can easily transform from a shoulder or messenger style bag to a stroller bag that attaches to your tot’s ride.

I’m telling you… after hearing about my husband’s day of traveling around a new city with both kids today I think we both wish he’d have had the convenience and practicality that comes with the Via Messenger!
