Whether you are an expecting parent, need advice on sending your child to preschool, or are just looking for a unique gift for a toddler then Parenthood.com is the site for you. This website is well designed, easy to navigate, and has so much information that it's possible to read something new every day. There are some ads that appear on the site, but they are not visually distracting and still allow you to read with ease.

Some of the main categories on the site include "Pregnancy", "Your Child", "Baby Guides", and "Lifestyle", each with numerous sub-categories. The "Pregnancy" section is very unique in that it not only has tips and advice for parents to be, but also has some fun tools such as a baby name finder and due date calculator. The articles under this section are very detailed as well offering some advice and a lot of useful information on topics such as postpartum recovery.

Under the section "Your Child" there are spotlight articles as well as featured videos. The side menu in this section and all others include the most emailed articles as well as favorite places, which are basically a repeat of the main categories on the website. There are also some contests on the site with prizes for both parents and kids.

Searching for what you want to read or view on the site is very simple too. There is a link at the top of the page named "Topics A-Z" where you can highlight the first letter of the topic you want to view or even browse each letter to find something interesting. The search bar in the top left corner also makes it possible to search for a keyword or phrase without browsing through other links on the page. It returns a bunch of hits, some which don't necessarily match what you're looking for, but you can look at the title and description to see if it's what you want to read or view.

Parenthood.com also has a blog section where you can read some interesting thoughts from various writers on the site or join a chat community to post questions for others to help answer.

No parenting website would be complete without some sort of shopping available there. This site has links for anything from buying guides to specific items on other companies websites. Shopping is also broken down into various sub-categories to make it easier to find that specific item you want to buy. This is a great site for any current or future parent looking for more details on what life holds when it comes to children.
