So, I don’t hate tacti-cool baby gear, but it does make me angry.
It should have been high quality baby gear targeted at guys being silly. The glaring contrast between its function and its theme should be intentionally funny.
Instead you’ve got sexist shit trying to convince guys that it’s okay, you can still be hyper masculine even if you care for your children, and selling profoundly inferior crap that’s not even leveraging the ridiculous marketing options.
All the actual baby supply companies have instead started using the stuff you would want out of “tactical baby gear”, and coloring it in cheerful colors that aren’t traditionally gendered.
It’s just a wasted opportunity for a good laugh that instead brings more shit into the world.
It kind of started as a joke. I remember “serious” brands like maxpedition having baby bags with tounge in cheek names, as well as places online like think geek selling “tactical baby bags” and the like.
Yeah, I do sort of remember some of that. It’s one of those things where I think people realized that the people laughing hardest weren’t laughing at the same joke, and that kinda takes something away.

This is why I got one in 2019 but never got to use it because of Covid. Probably shouldn’t use it now with the new one on the way.
Sadly, yeah. Like, a Hawaiian shirt and stupid tactical gear should be silly guy outfit, not “bring the race war”.
Use it anyway. The real wuss move is to shelf something you like or find useful because a dumb ad ran on facebook.
You know what’s better than recycling? Reusing what you got. Personalize it and rock it like a mofo
