Kopi Baby Portable Diaper Changing Pad

It's staggering how many times I, as a male, couldn't find a changing station for my kids when they were babies. I can't count how many times I had to use the front seat of the car in a pinch. This came in handy so many times.

WONDERFOLD W2 Elite Stroller Wagon (2 Seater)

WONDERFOLD W4 Luxe Stroller Wagon (4 Seater) 

If you're ever looking for a wagon and have a bigger budget for it, check out these WONDERFOLDS. It's honestly a mobile nanny fortress. Carries everything including the kids. When we were at fairs, farmer's markets, festivals, and amusement parks, this wagon was incredibly useful. The fact that something this size folds down enough that you can pop it into your trunk is a miracle. The kids love the secret zipper door entrance!
