Father Time - must-haves for modern dads
by Jenna McCarthy



dad company: by dads for dads

It's a fact: Men like gear - and the more rugged, the better. The two-pop team behind Milo and Wolf get this on a cellular level. Their virtual shelves are packed with impossibly hip, high-quality products that are designed specifically for new fathers. From masculine messenger bags to cool-looking carriers, every need of the modern dad has been thought of here.

Here's the dilemma: Baby can't haul her own bottles, booties, and burp cloths, but for a dad who's used to carrying just a wallet in his pocket, even the most macho man-bag can feel like a burden. DadGear's Diaper Vest™ lets him carry the essentials conveniently, discreetly, and bag-free. Wipes, diapers, bottles, pacifiers, and toys can be stashed in any of the vest's nine handy pockets, and there's still enough room for keys, a cell phone, and a granola bar or two. A hidden back pocket even holds a low-profile changing pad (included). The sleek design belies the functionality beneath, so to the rest of the world he'll look like any other sporty dude - not a diaper-packing Michelin man.
