Freebies from the Crib: Rowdy

I am so excited about this December freebie.
1. The product is awesome
2. The freebie is generous
3. We get to feature our first dadtrepreneurs here on Tales.

Rowdy was started by two husband and wife teams (Sara & Mike and Kat & Justin) who set out to design, produce and sell the "perfect diaper bag".

With four kids, Sara employed her parenting experience to design all the perfect practical details while Kat (who is pregnant with her first) brought her eye for fashion to the style of the bags. The two husbands, who have always dreamed of starting their own company, happily handle the business end of things and even built their own sales booth in an Idaho barn before driving cross country to show their bags for the first time last year in Orlando, FL. With the convergence of talents from these four "parentrepreneur's they" have created Rowdy, a company with an amazing line of diaper bags and changing pads.

I have been lucky enough to get my hands on their product so I can give you a real idea of what these bags are like. And while the overall appearance of the bags range from fashionable to sophisticated to fun (I was immediately drawn to the Rocker Convertible in green - which also can be used as a backpack) their real selling points are all in the perfectly practical details. They have the usual multitude of inner pockets, a changing pad and insulated bottle holder, but that is just the beginning. All of their bags are designed with a detachable purse. It's a great place to keep your wallet and other personal items so when you can ditch the diapers, you can detach the purse and go with out having to constantly "change bags".

By far the best detail of every Rowdy bag is the removable, washable lining. All moms who have ever had a bottle leak or a sippy cup spill in your diaper bag please raise your hand. You know it is next to impossible to get it cleaned out. Then the milk residue hiding in all the cracks starts smelling bad. Ugh, it's disgusting. Not with a Rowdy bag. After a spill, just pull out the waterproof lining and throw it in the washing machine and your bag is as good as new. Love that!
Now for what all you moms have been waiting for, the peeps at Rowdy are offering a choice of the Boardwalk Bowler or the Scoop News Bag to the winner of this December freebie (a retail value of $70-$85)! Just enter a comment below! If you don't happen to need a new diaper bag in your life right now please tell someone who does. These bags promise to make any new mom (or returning mom like me) giddy with delight.
