Tactical dads are OP
When we had our first, there was a military spouse who would take old uniforms and turn them into really cool diaper bags (the side was the front of the shirt with name and service tapes). It wasn't camo, because my service just wears blue, but they ended up being effective and unique.
The baby must be at least Level IIIA / III right? Better than no plate at all.
It’s pretty gross to pin this on an entire gender.
PALS webbing and baby equipment is the most natural combination in the world
If it wasn't olive green, I'd use this for sure
Someone will think that's your armor plate carrier
I have a carrier that is "tacticool" it's comfortable but I mock myself for having it. My original one was a hand-me-down and I really liked it so I was trying to get a link to it and found out it was discontinued or recalled for a design flaw that could cause hip problems for the baby. I really liked the feel of it so I bought another one that had a similar design but without the flaw.
It's nice having my own carrier and it looking different from my wife's. It also has some nice features like a sun shade I can cover the kids head with.
I also have no problem rocking the pink diaper/snack bag.
That's cool as hell lol, I wish I had these when I needed them.
The meme potential alone would have me rocking them all day.
This sort of thing is really only exclusive to the US markets. Elsewhere in the world, it is rare to see components of tactical gear outside of the specific situations they are for. However, military gear is the nastiest for the job, so you tend to only get it if strapped for cash. Obviously this means there is no military themed stuff like in the US, beer coolers, baby carriers, slippers, etc. For the insecure man.
I live in Germany and there are three "survivalist" stores with mostly surplus and replica military equipment for sale in my city alone. Also genuine military gear can be absolute dogshit. It depends on the country of origin and era but stuff is not automatically durable just because it was designed for war.
Here you can see an image of a surplus backpack that looks just like the one I used to carry as my schoolbag:
