The Early Bird Gets The Worm, The Prepared Parent Gets The Savings 

Once you become a parent all of the things your parents said to you as a kid, now gets recycled to your children. The first few times you say a phrase you are horrified. In your mind you are yelling, “I sound just like my parents!” Yet, when you take a minute to realize there was a lot of truth in their words. It is part of the circle of life and your kids will say the same things to their kids. I remember my mom would tell me that the early bird gets the worm. That adage is all about being prepared and getting up early to get your work done. 

How To Become The Prepared Parent 

I wrote an open letter last month to new dads here at the Art of Fatherhood. I shared some advice and other dads added their thoughts on fatherhood as well. It might seem overwhelming at first when you are taking care of your baby, but it is all about preparation. Let’s take a look at a few items that will help you on your fatherhood journey. 

Diaper Bag 

Just like Batman has his utility belt, the diaper bag is a dad’s utility belt. The better the bag, the better the fatherhood experience. When I became a dad changing tables in men’s bathrooms were hard to come by. I was struggling to find a place to properly change my kid’s diapers. What if a diaper bag took all of those worries away? Well the Pod Diaper Bag Changing Station and Travel Cot from Gladly Family is the ultimate diaper bag. This bag allows you to bring everything you need, plus space for your baby to get changed safely or take a snooze, with you wherever you go. This is the G.O.A.T diaper bag. The bag has insulated bottle pockets, interior mesh storage pockets, adjustable shoulder straps for comfort, plus easy carry handles and special straps to easily attach to your stroller. Batman would be jealous of all the features that the Pod diaper bag comes with to make it easier on parents. 

The Crib Away From Home

In sports we talk about home field advantage. What happens when you are traveling with your family? Babies love routine and things that they are used to. The Merritt Portable Playard Suite allows you to bring part of your home and routine with you. Check out all these features that the Merritt brings along with it. It is a safe place for babies from newborn to toddler. You can use it from birth to 50 lbs. It features our patent-pending Lightning Fold folds with one hand in under 10 seconds. It is sturdy yet lightweight with a stylish aluminum frame and includes a changing station folds away for easy storage. There is an extra large diaper caddy with room for everything and a removable, machine-washable fabric for easy cleaning.

Every Family Needs An Anthem 

Going back to a sports theme, you have to love when a baseball player walks up to the plate, they use their favorite song or anthem. In this case the Anthem is the line of wagons from Gladly Family. Their Anthem line will make your life a lot easier for many reasons to become a prepared parent. If you have one or two kids the Anthem2- 2-Seater All-Terrain Wagon Stroller is up your alley. If you have more than two kids then you should look at the Anthem4 – Classic 4-seater All-Terrain Wagon Stroller. This line of wagons are easy to maneuver no matter if you either push or pull. Just like the Merritt it is easy to fold; standing fold or flat for storage. The canopies come with breathable mesh inserts and has sun, wind and rain protection. It comes with all-terrain tires and a sturdy suspension system. In addition the wagons have a one-touch, easy to use brake.
