My dh would like his backpack replaced with a messenger bag for Christmas. What he likes most about his backpack is the front 3 zippered compartments. He likes orgainizing his little sturff in there. I think one zipper is for kid stuff and the other two are his stuff.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate any input.

I'd totally recommend the Skip Hop for him. It has two front pockets, two large zippered pockets, cell pocket, then inside it has two more flat pockets plus all the space in the main compartment.

There's also a new bag on the market designed for dads, the Marshall Bag by the Mustard Sprout. It's a sling-style bag with tons of compartments. I really like it for guys. My husband got a yellow one. :)

Here you go Melissa! There are two large compartments, one smaller one, and one thin, full length one. There is also a designated pocket for the cell phone on the strap. Please forgive my crappy digital camera...it doesn't take very good detailed shots in high contrast. The interior lining is black nylon, not silky like it looks in photos. This is the green color.

I can't answer the question about the best retailer, because I'm horribly biased there. ;) I've never had a bad experience though with many retailers.
