Best Gifts for New Dads

Great Gear

Born Free Bottles $20 for 2 Give yourself a break and give Dad a chance to bond with baby during feeding time.  These best-selling bottles are BPA- and phthalate-free, and they’ve been shown to work wonders with colicky babies.

Kelty TC 3.0 Child Carrier $180 Tell dad to take a hike…with baby.   This sleek carrier can carry babies comfortably and safely up to 40 pounds, and Dad won’t need to pack a separate diaper bag.  Available in four handsome colors.

Jogging Stroller $400 Help him get back into shape with baby in tow.  Rugged tires make it perfect for off-road trails, while swiveling front wheels make it easy to maneuver in tight city streets.  It seats kids up to 70 pounds, so he’ll be using it for a long time.

Manly Diaper Bags

JJ Cole Logic Bag $30 For the Dad who likes to travel light, this streamlined bag is the way to go. There’s a main compartment for diapers and wipes, plus a removable, insulated bottle holder and changing pad.

DadGear Stripe Backpack $89 Loaded with compartments for all the baby essentials with plenty room left over for Dad’s toys.  Everything is where you need it, and the quick-access wipes window is a true life-saver.

Storksak Jamie Baby Bag$120 He can’t have Angelina Jolie, but he can have the same baby bag that Brad Pitt uses. This leather bag is compact, rugged and durable, and it’s just as handsome as the Dad carrying it.

Cool Threads

Okutani I Heart Dad Socks $5 Technically, this isn’t for Dad, but he’ll appreciate the sentiment every time he sees his little one wearing it.  And it’s a bargain for just $5.

Tee and Bodysuit Set $22 The ‘Daddy and Me’ look can be hard to pull off, but not when the tees are this cool.  Dad’s tee proclaims “My kid totally rocks,” and baby can return the favor with a matching “My dad totally rocks” bodysuit.

DadGear Cargo Jacket $89 Trick Dad into carrying the diapers with this ultra-cool cargo jacket.  It will keep him warm on chilly days, and strategically placed pockets holds wipes, diapers and bottles.  There’s even a slim changing pad discreetly stowed in the back.
