When looking for a running or all-terrain stroller, many families turn to the trusted name of BOBgear.

This easy to maneuver stroller is perfect for families on the go, and its sleek design makes it easy to take to every adventure along the way.

BOBgear Flex Revolution strollers are made for use anywhere you go. The front wheel swivels for easy maneuvering around corners and for day-to-day use. But if Dad is really on the move, the wheel can also be locked in place for running, jogging, or for bumpy terrain. And if anyone else wants to push the kiddos, the handle bar adjusts to nine different positions to create the perfect fit for moms, dads, grandparents, or siblings.

There are no worries about bumpy rides with the BOBgear Flex. The state of the art suspension system offers 3 inches of travel and 2 inches of weight support for a smooth ride. The tires are made with high-impact polymer wheels, ensuring that no bumps will bother your riders. Even your littlest adventurers can ride along with Dad by using the BOB Infant Car Seat Adapter and a matching BOB 35 Infant Car Seat (or any other major brand car seat). As your baby grows, they will continue to be just as comfortable. The seat easily reclines with a one push button or can sit completely upright so they can view the world around them. The ultra-padded seat allows for ventilation all while keeping them safe in a 5-point harness. The UPF 50+ canopy shields them from all the elements. Dad can keep an eye on them through the viewing window on the top as well.

BOBgear knows that kids (and the dads driving them) need stuff while adventuring, so they created an extra-large cargo basket so you can take everything you need with you. The pockets within the stroller offer places for snacks, drinks, diapers, and swords to fight off any dragons that might cross your path. The foot-activated brake makes it easy to secure the stroller in one place, and the two-fold system is easy to use to close the stroller when transporting it.

Dads love BOBgear Flex Revolution because they know it’s a stroller they can trust. The innovative suspension system offers a smooth ride for drivers and passengers. The comfortable seats ensure that Dad can finish his workout with few complaints from the rider. It’s no wonder BOBgear strollers are the #1 jogging stroller, and Dad will see why once you get him one for Father’s Day.

About BOBgear

BOBgear was founded in the late 1990s when two friends, who originally created a bike trailer, started families of their own and needed strollers for their active lifestyle. They wanted to create an all-in-one stroller that could be used running, hiking, or on any terrain that was also able to fold up compactly for easy transportation. After some strenuous testing by their lab assistants (aka, their own children), the Sport Utility BOB was born. Shortly thereafter they created the Duallie, a double seated jogging stroller, at the demand of their customers. BOBgear is currently owned by Britax after being acquired in 2011, but they are still committed to the same level of excellence, customer care, and safety standards today.

ecobee4

Perfect for the dad who wants a voice-controlled smart house

Top Father’s Day Picks

It seems to be that most modern day dads are fans of technology. Really, who isn’t? But when Dad can merge his love for technology with his beloved home, something sparks. The newly released ecobee4 makes his futuristic smart home dream achievable.

The ecobee4 is the vision for a whole-home-voice future. Our favorite feature is the built-in Amazon Alexa, voice activated technology. Would you like to know what the weather is like outdoors? Simply ask the ecobee Alexa, and the onboard speakers will reply to your question, clear as day. Want to set a timer? Check. How about add something to your grocery list? The possibilities are endless, and the ecobee4 allows you to easily manage your home’s comfort, energy, and busy life.

Ecobee also announced plans to bring Alexa and far-field voice recognition to every room of the home through a voice-enabled smart light switch, hitting stores later this year. This product will mark the company’s first venture beyond smart thermostats, and is expected to lead the smart home category into a whole-home-voice future. Similar to ecobee’s signature room sensor technology, the smart light switch will measure occupancy and temperature to help deliver comfort to the rooms that matter most.

Just like previous models of the ecobee, it easily connects to your phone via built-in wi-fi, and allows you to access your home’s energy consumption records, change settings, or monitor while you’re away, through the ecobee app, available for both Apple and Android devices. Ecobee4 is compatible with Amazon Echo, Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings, and IFTTT.

The ecobee4 comes in the package with one room sensor, that allows you to place it in a different location, and it will transmit the temperature wirelessly to the thermostat, and the ecobee will make adjustments automatically. In addition to the one sensor, you can purchase additional room sensors so that your entire home can be the perfect temperature. Ecobee can support up to 32 different room sensors. No more hot kid’s bedrooms or freezing basements! If the room is not occupied, the sensor will communicate that and will be placed in away mode automatically. If you download the app on your phone, you can even set up a remote “fence.” This fence will notify ecobee once you leave your home, and will place your home into away mode. You can customize the fence to trigger to begin cooling (or heating) your home once you reach a certain distance away from the house, so that once you arrive back home, you won’t be walking into a too hot or too cold living space. It’s the perfect companion for those families who love to travel.

• Tracks home data over time to improve energy expenses
• Easy to use phone app uses the same interface as managing your ecobee directly
• Low profile design fits well in contemporary home decor
• Alexa enabled for voice commands

About ecobee

When ecobee CEO Stuart Lombard found that an old style programmable thermostat got the best of him, he set forth to build a better solution that would be both easy to use and effective for managing a home’s comfort while conserving energy. Since releasing the first wi-fi smart thermostat in 2009, ecobee has continued to innovate, working to bring better solutions to homeowners looking to lower their energy costs.

Top Father’s Day Picks

Lots of memories that happen every single day deserve to be displayed with pride. All of us at Daily Mom are big fans of printing your photos, and with amazing online retailers available, such as Nations Photo Lab, you don’t have to trust a teenager at a drug store to print your works of art any more.

We love the Metal Photo Prints from Nations Photo Lab for those pieces of artwork that really pop out at you. Landscapes or tiny intricate details are razor sharp when they are printed on metal, and don’t lose any of the clarity that you may have with a canvas print. They have ultra-high definition colors, an intense black color, and a beautiful finish. Metal prints look stunning in the home, and are a great option for a more masculine feel, and perfect to gift Dad. Dig out your old wedding digitals or maybe your favorite image of him with your kiddos on the beach last summer and find a vibrantly colored photograph to gift him on metal. Nations Photo Lab’s printing process will give a sharp contour and perfect lines.

Displaying the metal print is very easy; options include your choice between a black shadow mount, an aluminum easel, a float mount hanger, or stainless steel standoffs.

• Many sizes are available to match either his office, man cave, or anywhere in the home, ranging from 4″x 4″ all the way up to 24″x 36″.
• Metal prints are 1mm thick and are finished with a protective white gloss.
• Processing time is 4-5 business days.

Sometimes, a simple print in a frame is the best way to go. It’s a classic and chic look that will never go out of style. We love Nations Photo Lab’s newest and sleekest line of modern framed prints available, that just launched a couple of weeks ago. The wood gives it a classic and rustic look, but the clean and minimalist lines and style would compliment any decor, from rustic to modern. They are affordable, and you won’t ever have to worry about the quality of the print when you’re using Nations Photo Lab. There’s a big reason that Nations is highly used and recommended by professional photographers all over the world. And, as an added bonus, all framed print orders ship for free!

• Images are printed on Kodak Endura Lustre photo paper, and then expertly mounted on professional grade Foamcore.
• Frame colors available in: Black, Classic Black, Mahogany, Maple (pictured), Espresso, and White
• Each framed print comes with protective, clear acrylic, which blocks up to 92% of UV rays from reaching the print itself.

About Nations Photo Lab

Nations Photo Lab truly understands your vision as artists, photographers, or creatives. Nations Photo Lab began when two boys became best childhood friends, and advanced to the college age. It originally began as a simple way for them to quickly take photos with their Canon and post them online. It then quickly progressed into a massive portraiture business, and the two guys spent some epic years photographing tons of events and people across the world. Nations Photo Lab began when they were at a loss and couldn’t seem to find the quality, service, turnaround, or pricing all in one spot, available to photographers from novice level all the way up to National Geographic status. In 2005, they purchased their first printers and haven’t looked back. Today, Nations Photo Lab is touted as the fasted growing photo lab in the United States.
