I love the Libman Upright Dustpan and Lobby Broom. The dustpan handle is just right to keep you from bending way down which is a wonderful benefit when you are expecting a baby. The dustpan bucket holds enough to keep you from running back and forth to the trash can. I use the dustpan with one of Libman's Extra Wide Angle Broom.
The small broom that comes with the Upright Dustpan is fine for quick sweep ups. An averaged sized adult would find it hard on the back to sweep an entire room with the small broom, but it is the perfect size for younger children. Bethany, Emily and Hannah say sweeping is much easier without them having to balance a larger, heavier broom. The small broom is great for adults doing quick touch ups too.
We have several of both in our home to sweep our hardwood floors.
