A panel including Paul Banas, founder of GreatDad.com and Armin Brott, of MrDad.com, as well as other appropriate dad experts will judge the product or service based on the following criteria:

• Improves the quality of the time fathers and children spend together
• Improves father child relationships
• Helps dads be better parents and partners

The cost to apply to the two programs at once is a one-time fee of $129. Please note that this application and fee does not guarantee approval for either or both of the two seals.

Here's how it works:
If you think your product deserves recognition because it is great for dads and kids, our panel will use it, play with it, give it to our kids and, if worthy, we will award one or both of the seals from GreatDad.com and MrDad.com.

To apply:
 1. Fill in the online form below, which is followed by PayPal directions for the $129       administrative fee.
  2. Mail four samples of your product, if applicable (details will be shown on your confirmation       email).
  3. If approved, we'll send you links to the product review and specially tagged banners will be       sent to you by email.

Why should I apply for the GreatDad.com Recommends and MrDad.com Seal of Approval programs?
  1. GreatDad.com and MrDad.com, the two leading dad sites and experts give you recognition       and exposure on their highly trafficked websites.
  2. Endorsement by GreatDad.com and MrDad.com and their panelists means that your product       has been reviewed by real dad experts.
  3. Both GreatDad.com and MrDad will feature seal winners in bi-annual press releases in June       and December.

If you have a product or service, or would like to recommend one, please fill in the nomination form below:

Email here to explain your issue. Rules and Guidelines: * All text becomes the property of GreatDad LLC and MrDad.com. * Nominations are taken for all product categories. * To maximize potential for publication of your review, please follow these guidelines: 1. Write the product description in a semi-objective style. Over-blown endorsements may require longer time for editing, which will delay a Recommends award. 2. Do not use all caps or exclamation points. Please write in the third person as if you were an objective reviewer rather than as a press release. 3. Please make the product description and rationale as original as possible. Use of previously published descriptions will also seriously delay a Recommends award. GreatDad.com reserves the right to edit product descriptions. GreatDad.com does not guarantee publication of submitted nominations. GreatDad only awards Recommends status on products we think are handy for dads and kids. Many of these products are ones we own ourselves. 4. GreatDad chooses products and services nominations based on our personal assumptions about the quality of the product and usefulness to dads and kids. 5. GreatDad will not approve nominations that we feel do not satisfy several criteria. The products should:   • Improve the quality of the time fathers and children spend together.   • Improve father child relationships.   • Help dads be better parents and partners.   • Be apparently safe for kids and dads. We are not safety experts, however, and our approval should not imply a safety and health endorsement. 6. GreatDad will clearly note for each product whether we have personally and physically tested the product, or whether we use it ourselves with our own children.
