Mamaroo.jpg
The thing about babies as that there’s no way to know what exactly is going to work to calm them down. They might be little, but they’ve got strong opinions. The [Mamaroo](http://www.amazon.com/4moms-Mamaroo-Bouncer-Grey-Classic/dp/B00PK3EO1S), at least, lets you hedge your bets, with five distinct motions (from car ride to kangaroo), a built-in noise machine, and a reversible mobile overhead. It’s the most the most high-tech way to say shush. $239
BOB
02
bob-stroller.jpg
We recommend this stroller for most parenting things, because most parents should have one—at least if they have any dreams of working out post-baby. The [BOB Revolution Pro](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B019EZD7T2) is an all-terrain beast of a jogging stroller, one that offers a smooth ride for dad and baby alike. $560

Infant Optics
03
Infant-Optics-DXR-8-Video-Baby.jpg
If you’re thinking of getting a high-tech, Internet-connected baby monitor, just stop right there. They’re all riddled with security vulnerabilities, and the extra features aren’t worth it. (Hint: when you’re using your phone as a baby monitor, you can’t use it to Instagram.) Instead, treat dad to this [Infant Optics baby monitor](http://www.amazon.com/Infant-Optics-DXR-8-Monitor-Interchangeable/dp/B00ECHYTBI) with interchangeable lenses—standard, zoom, and wide-angle—and swap out as needed as they grow. $168
OiOi
04
OiOi-Men’s-Wax-Canvas-Satchel-Diaper-Bag.jpg
This should go without saying, but dads need diaper bags too. That doesn’t mean, though, that dads need to sacrifice style. There are precious few good-looking Desitin depositories in this world, but [OiOi’s messenger bag](https://www.oioibabybags.com/mens-wax-canvas-satchel-diaper-bag-chocolate) is one he’d wear even if it didn’t come with a changing pad. $170

NBC
05
Friday-Night-Lights.jpg
Having a baby means a lot of sleepless nights, many of them spent on the couch with an infant that’s crying, eating, or alternating between the two. Don’t spend that time in silence! Spend it watching this generation’s top TV dad, Coach Taylor, dispense both life and football advice with equal aplomb on *Friday Night Lights*. It’s not on Netflix, it’s not on Blu-ray, but you can pick up [the whole series on DVD](http://www.amazon.com/Friday-Night-Lights-Kyle-Chandler/dp/B005CA4SOM) for cheap. $65
Boon
06
Boon-Grass-Countertop-Drying-Rack.jpg
If you know a family with a baby that somehow doesn’t have a grass-inspired drying rack yet, prepare to be a hero. In fact, go ahead and get them a second one. [Boon](http://www.amazon.com/Boon-Grass-Countertop-Drying-Green/dp/B0032G9E0G) has somehow made the most boring possible kitchen gear into something that’s as whimsical as it is practical. It’s indispensable. $15

Withings
07

Being a dad often means giving up on a regular workout routine, or at least having a good excuse to. Withings' [Activité Steel](http://www.withings.com/us/en/products/activite-steel) will help keep him honest, by hiding an activity tracker in a handsome-looking watch. It’s just the thing to help downgrade from counting miles and squat reps to counting steps. $170

Before long, if the TV is on at all, it’s going to be dedicated to *Dora* and *Daisy Duck*. Let dad binge on [his favorite sport](http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/subscriptions/index.jsp?c_id=mlb) (if not baseball, then an [NBA League Pass](http://www.nba.com/leaguepass/) will do) while he still can---as long as he lives in a different city as his favorite team. Otherwise, blackout rules are going to make it worthless.

La Colombe
09
La-Colombe.jpg
The dad in your life has two new best friends: his baby, and caffeine. [La Colombe’s Draft Latte](https://www.lacolombe.com/pages/draft-latte), which uses innovative packaging to get a silky, textured latte in a can. It’s delicious, packs a cup and a half of coffee’s worth of caffeine, and is never more than a tab-flip away. $10 per 4-pack.
GrOpener
10
GrOpener.jpg
It’s a [one-handed bottle-opener](http://gropener.com/). What’s in the other hand? A baby, a bottle, a diaper, who knows? It’s rarely available. And what’s in the bottle? Whatever takes the edge off, man. You’re going to need it. $16
