Not structurally, but the styling preference tends to differ. Most dads gravitate toward backpack-style bags over shoulder totes because a backpack keeps both hands free and reads as a normal bag rather than a diaper bag. Backpack diaper bags like the Itzy Ritzy Boss Backpack and Skip Hop Duo Signature backpack version are built on the same organizational skeleton as tote versions, just carried differently. The gear inside (changing pad, insulated bottle pockets, wipes pocket) is identical.
For one baby on daily outings, a bag in the 15 to 20 liter range holds a day's worth of diapers, a changing pad, 2 to 3 outfit changes, wipes, and bottles without bulk. For longer outings, daycare drop-off with extra supplies, or a second kid in tow, step up to a 20 to 25 liter bag. The mistake most first-time dads make is buying too small a bag and then overstuffing it, which is what causes zippers to fail early.
