Dad's Diaper Vest by DadGear

I have mixed feelings about this Diaper Vest that's available from Pokkadots. On the one hand, I absolutely love the idea. I usually have lots of things stowed away in my pockets, but I never have enough pockets to hold an entire diaper bags worth of stuff. However, in the temperate Northeast, it seems like you wouldn't be able to wear this for much of the year. In the summer, it would be way too hot to wear a fleece vest, and in the winter, you'd have to wear a jacket over it and risk overheating as soon as you walk inside. The nice thing about the vest is there is nothing inherently diapery about it. Once your child has grown up, you can use it as a nice cargo vest. And who doesn't like a multi-tasker. The vest's upper pockets offer easy access to travel wipes, and your car keys (or mp3 player, or cell phone). The two large pockets in the interior front can hold up to size 5 diapers. One tall pocket on each side can hold a bottle. And finally, a hidden pocket in the back holds an included slim design changing pad. There is also a sleeved jacket version available.
