Baby Gear

You would think that if you are having another baby boy, what gear could you possibly need that you don't already have? The dreaded DOUBLE STROLLER! I say dreaded because it's a high ticket item (over $100) and I can't just buy three different strollers and return anything that doesn't work for me. (Or more like, I don't want the hassle of try-before-you-keep for something as large and as bulky as a double stroller.) I have my eye on the duo-glider by graco (this is the double stroller I see women actually using when I'm out and about) and the combi counterpart 2 (it's the smallest and lightweight of the tandems that I can find). I will go the BRU (Babies R Us) tomorrow and try both of these out in the store and see if I can find a winner.

The BEST new piece of baby gear that I've bought so far is the backpack by DadGear. (www.dadgear.com) This thing seriously rocks. I have a Kelty diaper bag backpack that we use all the time but now that we have two kiddos to pack for, I needed something larger. A friend of mine knows the guys at DadGear and I keep reading about them in Pregnancy magazine so I thought I'd give their product a try. And it's so worth the money! The quality of the backpack is top notch and the patent-pending easy-access wipes design....*schwing* It's a total winner.

If you are looking for a great Father's Day gift, I highly recommend DadGear.
