Children’s products useful by design and cool by nature…

Posted by New York Dad on January 30, 2010 in General Post |

One of my favorite companies, as a Dad, is Boon. I always admire a company that can create children’s products that are useful, safe, aesthetically pleasing and just plain cool. That does not mean these are the only kind of children’s products I like or buy, but I am most attracted by a well-thought out [...]

Flying the more parent friendly skies…

Posted by New York Dad on January 26, 2010 in General Post |

Raise your hand if you hate air travel these days? What about with kids? Me too! The security check, the stroller, the other passengers cringing as you look for your seat hoping they are not stuck next to you, the non-stop fidgeting, the guy who insists on putting his chair in your lap while you [...]

Kiddy Mobility…

Posted by New York Dad on January 25, 2010 in General Post |

This is what I love about having kids: cool kid’s stuff that brings out the kid in the parents. That is exactly what I thought when I stumbled onto Kaiku (from the Japanese “to grow”). All three of their products (Zen, Pushpull and Strollkart) are clean, simple and sturdy looking. Created by Scot and Amy [...]

The Art of Shaving…

Posted by New York Dad on January 25, 2010 in General Post |

Very true. This is another topic that has gotten its fair share of over-exposure, but I insist on adding fuel to the fire. The debate rages: straight blade, safety razor or even-safer razor? My humble opinion is this: crazy, closest shave and best for travel. A straight blade is something only my grandfather could use [...]

The Daddy Diaper Bag…

Posted by New York Dad on January 18, 2010 in General Post |

I doubt many of you will find it hard to believe that my diaper bag of choice is the Jack Spade Dad Field Bag. Mine is navy blue with the orange soccer field changing pad. Sturdy canvas like most of Jack Spade’s field bags. Simple and spacious. It doubles as a laptop bag for my [...]

The wheels on the bike go round and round… round and round…

Posted by New York Dad on January 18, 2010 in General Post |

I can’t honestly say this is a review; but rather, this is one of those posts in which I imagine “what if?”. I am going to talk about a couple of bicycles that I am in love with, but probably will never own. So if any of you out there have one of these beauties, [...]

One Ringy Dingy… Two Ringy Dingy…

Posted by New York Dad on January 17, 2010 in General Post |

Although my Lily Tomlin reference is from the not so recent past, I use it to introduce my phone of choice for today and most probably the future. Surprise! I have an iPhone. Full disclosure here – I am somewhat of an Apple fanboy so yes I am terribly biased. I am also a gadget freak [...]

This is the way I roll…

Posted by New York Dad on January 15, 2010 in General Post |

I know, I know – Everyone has a Bugaboo. So who cares about my review.  Well I doubt anyone has really put this ruggedized stroller to the test! It’s all fine and dandy when you are pushing your Bugaboo along with one finger while chatting on your iPhone or BB sipping your latte in Manhattan, [...]

New York Skyline Icons

Posted by New York Dad on January 15, 2010 in General Post |

The ever changing skyline of New York never ceases to amaze me. The only other modern U.S. metropolis that blows my mind when it comes to architectural diversity is the Second City. I am sure I will get a slew of comments from those who feel that I am slighting their city’s equally incredibile skyline, [...]

Is this thing on?

Posted by New York Dad on January 11, 2010 in General Post |

I’m not the first and I will not be the last. I do hope, though, that those who choose to check in from time to time will find my thoughts and insights interesting and useful. I will share my likes and dislikes on whatever I come across on a daily basis. I’ll try to stick to [...]
