Brolomon, loving the concept of this video! So many folks ask about bag recommendations for this exact purpose and this is definitely a solid starting point.
Great video! As my daughter has transitioned into a 5-year old teenager I still carry a foldable “changing” pad as a place to stand during wardrobe changes as well as a compact first aid kit. Thanks!
Non-bag content: Once the kiddo gets old enough to support their head, get a hip seat. We were gifted one and it was absolutely ace for a couple years.
@@jtinseoul7041 they’re just grab and go, balance them with 1 arm. In the summer you and baby get breathing room, in the winter you aren’t trying to peel them out of a carrier. Can’t say enough good things about hip seats.
Love your attitude. When caregiving (young kid or elderly) the whole “necessary access” conundrum comes down to two categories: 1. Now. 2. Not now. Lol.
Great video. Thank you. Just be careful leaving your bag in the car. Theft is a concern but also be conscious if the items in the bag can handle how hot the car could get.
What a great video! I drool a bit every time I see that Able carry cooler. You could toss in a changing towel, flip down the front flap, lay down the towel and work right off your bag (supposing you didn't have anything bulky in the front panel pockets).
haha, that cooler is definitely a great piece of kit! And that's what I did with the Dragon in the park the other day. Changed her right on the flap, haha.
If you've only been a dad for a few months.... you'll find a stuff-it pocket will hold MANY toys. As well has hats, and jackets. The toy never stays in their arms, and the layers come off as they get wound up at the park/playground/play date/ect. It is one of my most usefull pockets on a dad bag.... and one that I do not have on my current dad bag (LBT 8006a), and that makes me sad.
I have to say that so far all the bags I've ended up enjoying the most for this purpose have that pocket. Even a bit of bungee cord is hella useful compared to just using the main compartment
@@jtinseoul7041 I first used a Gossamer Gear Vagabond Jet with the stretch front pocket. It was like an epiphany! By far the most useful and used feature on any dad bag I’ve used. I wish there was a stick-it for the LBT 14l day pack.

Dorky dad here too. How does this compare to the MR dragon and the Greenroom136 Rainmaker as a dad bag? I was very inspried by your Greenroom 136 vid. Cheers
So, I think you've found the three "favourites" of my dad bagging thus far there. The Dragon is awesome, but it's a little too "intense" for a dad bag generally speaking I reckon. The Greenroom is really good, works a treat for near everything but it's also a bit heavy and almost too beefy. Of these three, I'd probably go with the ILE if it were going to be my dedicated dad bag. It's light and chuckable and just feels like the right "vibe' for it. Those are my two-cents. Can't go wrong with any of them.
It's a good bag review but doesn't really cover much from actual dad bag contents (no change of clothes, no books/toys, no bottles or snacks - you know actual stuff stored in a proper dad bag) - if you had that, you could talk to and show how you might actually store and access them.
I think because every baby is different and has different needs it's difficult to run down the actual items in a dad bag. My baby changes what she needs like every two weeks. This is why I chose a bag like the one here that can adapt to almost any situation. What's your dad bag of choice?

Hopefully you'll need this knowledge again soon, brother.
@@jtinseoul7041 hope so man, love how you used the wire dopp too, really efficient

100%. We have one already and have just started using it!

Haha I dig this.
I’m finally ready to procreate now
Who doesn't need a water bottle? You need water fam ❤

Always keep an eye to ILE backpack specially Xpac .... Just I am not sure it is comfortable to carry ....
Thank you for the nice video!
Mine is the exact size, color, and dimension of that one but mine is retro-fitted for a rack of beer✨
Looks like a good dad bag option. Spartan bag is going to be in more videos than wire dopp soon!
Now you tell me! Where were you thirty years ago…
Pacifier?
That ILE bag is hot as FIRE JT
Dude, you're telling me! Give it to me in MCB and I might need to jump in a pool.
