It's a new idea! Designed to influence the consumers YOU want to reach! Packed with opportunity for your products or services! Here's why it's important
The Mr. Dad Seal of Approval is a visual endorsement that carries the powerful credibility of America's leading authority on successful fatherhood.

The Mr. Dad Seal of Approval was created in response to fathers and families who want products and services that promise to improve family life. The seal raises the confidence level of your own quality brand recognition!

This Father's Day, Mr. Dad is partnering with GreatDad.com to create a new, joint program designed to highlight products and services that are good for dads and kids.

Businesses now have a two-for-one opportunity for increased product recognition and endorsement.

Here's how it works
The Mr. Dad Seal of Approval and GreatDad Recommends awards recognize products and services that support our mission: giving men the resources, tools, and information they need to be the fathers they want to be and that their families need them to be.

To earn the Mr. Dad Seal of Approval and the GreatDad Recommends award,, a product or service must:
  • Help dads get or stay involved with their children
  • Improve the quality of the time fathers and children spend together
  • Improve father-child relationships
  • Help dads be better parents
  • Helps dads be better partners

Here's what people are saying...
Dads are looking for 'kid-friendly' labels or seals of approval on products and services. Dads should care if a product or service bears these seals because this means real dads have looked at the product and not only given some thought as to whether it’s apparently safe, fun, reputable, good for kids, but have seen the product in action and tested it.
Dr. William Bennett, a pediatrician and member of the MrDad.com/GreatDad.com review panel

Being recognized by Armin Brott, an absolute luminary on the topic of dadhood, is an extreme honor for my clients. When I heard about the opportunity to compete for a coveted spot on the Mr. Dad Seal of Approval list, I urged all of my clients to enter.... I really appreciate that these products were well-received by Mr. Dad as wonderful things for a father to enjoy with his child.

We are delighted at being recognized with a Mr. Dad Seal of Approval. The award validates that our game is a great way for dads to share their knowledge and have fun with their children as together they explore and discuss quotes and questions from topics kids study and know.

Winning a Mr. Dad Seal of Approval is quite an honor for Trout Fishing in America. It would be hard to ask for a better endorsement of our new CD. Spending time with your kids is about the most important thing you can do as a parent. Besides being musicians and songwriters, we are both Dads and know this from firsthand experience. We're glad to know that something like MrDad.Com exists and are proud to be included. Thanks for your enthusiastic support!

We just learned that Baffle Gab won the Mr. Dad Seal of Approval! Although we've won many awards, I am most excited about this one. As the father of a seven-week-old girl (our first) I have been giving fatherhood a great deal of thought. Aside from my personal interest in your site and your work, your Seal of Approval assists Dads around the country to identify games ' that bring families together for quality time while having fun and learning. A great combination!
