Hi Dads! Hoping to be joining your ranks later this year and my wife and I are working on the registry for the shower (and just in general working on a checklist). Care to share any hot tips, product recommendations, brands, or anything of the sort?

Uppababy and Nuna car seats were/are awesome. Generally a breeze to wash when needed and install. The uppababy stroller was a lifesaver too.

That said, the evenflow pivot explore wagon has been mediocre in my opinion. The canopy shades don’t like to stay on, it doesn’t fit well in our Mazda CX-30, and the handle rarely if ever folds out since it’s not easily maneuverable in that configuration.

Grab at least two of the silicone butt spatulas. We used them almost daily. Made applying Boudreaux’s Butt Paste a breeze.

Don’t forget to take time for yourselves as a couple and as individuals. It’s incredibly easy to get caught up in the day-to-day grind and forget/ignore those things. Your relationship will irrevocably change and it takes active care to be maintained/nourished.

Congratulations and welcome to the club!
