Perfect to stick in the bottom of the diaper bag until you need it.
GreatDad has always recommended the nipple adapter, which was previously available only on eBay from a discontinued line called LionHeart. Now BabySport has resurrected the idea. The idea is simple: using a converter ring, you can make just about any common water bottle into a baby bottle. Just add formula and go. Perfect to put in a sealed bag at the bottom of a diaper bag, in the glove compartment, or in your stroller. Eventually, you’ll find yourself in a situation where you forgot the bottle or dropped it in puddle and urgently need a backup. TheBabySport Water Bottle Nipple Adapter is even cheaper than the old model, at $6.99 for a 3-pack. And, it was re-invented by a dad. Your wife will laugh when you show it to her, but it will save you one day.

Put this in the category of “things I don’t need but might imagine I do” and then forget it
Maybe it’s just that I’m a guy, but my little boy never, ever peed at me during the literally hundreds of times I changed him. Maybe I was just lucky, or maybe he was obeying an unwritten and genetically coded rule. That’s for others to comment on. These things, however, are completely unnecessary unless used to scare new moms of little boys about the hazards of fire hose-ery. The same thing can be accomplished by sticking the diaper over his little weiner and finishing your business. Pee-Pee Teepees at Uncommon Goods.com. $12!

Had it. Want it.
We loved the BRIO Labyrinth when we were little, and before we were big enough to play pinball. This new version with extra boards is on our list for a toy to play with the kids this Christmas. It teaches dexterity and patience and is surprisingly challenging without being impossible.

Mom invented! I gotta get me one of these…
This Good Bites Crustless Sandwich Cutter is just too cool if you have kids who can’t somehow deal with reality of crust, or if you just like to make your kid’s lunch a little special for that first day of school. It’s one gadget your spouse might even like.

Got it – get it!
This summer, suddenly popsicles are big around our house because a friend gave us this
SiliconeZone Popsicle Mold. What I love is that for a dad, for once to “make something,” all I have to do is pour juice (lemonade, cranberry, beer?) into the mold and stick it in the freezer. Then I’m a hero when I later call out, “who wants a popsicle?” I give them the popsicle without any guilt that I gave them something half poisonous and, except for the sticky fingerprints all over the piano, everyone is happy!
