Baby Sherpa Short Haul Diaper Backpack (BabySherpa) A couple of years ago we reviewed the regular Baby Sherpa (see review below) we loved it so much that when Baby Sherpa came out with the Short Haul Diaper Backpack we asked if we could review it too.  The short haul is great for those little trips with the kids.  It still has a deep inside pocket, an insulated pocket that holds bottles, a outside pocket for water bottles, reflective tape for safety and more.  It's a great backpack that's functional, durable and comfortable.  The best part is that the new dads don't feel like they're hauling around their wife's diaper bag.  $85.00
