Dads are a different breed of men. Am I right? They often have to think fast on their feet when they need to get something done.
Also, they’re great at solving many of life’s problems. If you don’t believe me, you just have to see what these dads did. However they got things done, they made sure they did it their way, ha, ha!

When dads have their hands full, they still want to make sure their kids are close by. You can buy a Hero Clip, which gives your kids a handy spot to hold onto when your hands are tied. A large carabiner clip would probably do the trick, too!
