It's five inches across and has a stretchy strap on the back, so dad can attach it anywhere; a bike handlebar, the stroller frame, the car headrest. It pairs with UE's other speakers, the Boom and Megaboom, through an app. And, it's waterproof, so it's safe to rock out in the bathtub. $100
OluKai02dads10

Say Mahalo, pops! $110

Singer06dads1

Body Back09dads5
Dad spends all day lifting the tykes in and out of the minivan, sweating in the kitchen, dragging the kiddie pool full of water into the sunny part of the yard. Come mid-afternoon, he's pooped.

With this, he can work out his own knots and be loose enough to make you dinner. $35
Breville10dads6
When you're juggling kids and casseroles, time is of the essence. Kitchen prep work takes a while, so why not let dad outsource his chopping, slicing, mincing, and julienning to a countertop robot?
