Dads Registry

What do fathers need to be prepared for the little man or dancing princess? After my baby shower, I got to thinking and scanning each item individually. Then I thought about the steps prior to the baby shower... the development of the baby registry. In all honesty, I was physically present to support my wife and tell her "yes lets’ get that one" or "if you think so then we should get it". We walked each individual isle with our handheld scanners clicking in item after item on our registry until her feet ached. Now that I have my daughters room set up and organized, I have a stronger understanding of what fathers need.

Stroller/Car Seat

1.      Men are inpatient ie. we like to skip steps. This item is a combination baby seat and stroller that can click together so that you don’t need two separate purchases. On top of that the baby seat goes up to 40lbs: which for fathers means one thing and one thing only…saving money!

Check out Target for purchase at $219.99 versus Babies"R"Us $299.99

Diapers: Keeping it Fresh

2.      If you’ve read my post on dirty diapers http://daddystoolbox.blogspot.com/2014/03/diaper-duty.html

Then you know one thing and one thing only. You need the Diaper Genie! Like I said in the post this thing is simply awesome. You can put literally over a 100 diapers and wipes in it and you will not smell even a hint of that nastiness. The diaper genie contains every ounce of that smell. The bags that come with it aren’t your normal ones that you need to empty and toss. The Diaper Genie has a bag that once it’s full you can cut the top off and retie the bag in order to continue filling the Diaper Genie with more diapers. We probably went through at least 20 diapers a day for three weeks before having to buy another bag.
