Fleurville Sling Tot Diaper Bag
Nice long strap, bright colors, and a grown-up pattern. Baby stuff is getting better and better. When you’re done toting diapers around, this will make an excellent gym or beach bag.

Fun Ride Super Z
Every backyard should come with a zipline. Attach 90’ of cable to two support structures (trees, the side of the house, whatever), secure the plastic trolley to the line, and the kids are ready zip through the air. This one supports up to 250 pounds, but they offer less expensive ones built for smaller bodies. I wouldn’t suggest it though; you know Dad would just break it.

Nursery Folding Trampoline
Keep your kid active and pleasantly exhausted with this portable trampoline. It has a steel frame surrounded by thick padding. The best part? It folds flat when the kids are sleeping, so you can have your living room back.
-
Flexible Flyer Wooden Baby Sleigh
Baby’s first sleigh. The wooden Flexible Flyer has steam-bent skis, steel runners, a back rest, and a tow rope. Best of all, it comes assembled, so you won’t be up until 4 a.m. banging your head against the shipping crate.
