So, if you decided you want to pretend you live in a museum, and you want your baby to pretend he does too, then may I recommend the Baby Box Crib. The crib expands to three different sizes, along with junior, up to 24 months.

Periods:
1st: 0 to 3 months (26 x 30 x 30 height)
2nd: 3 to 10 months (26 x 39 x30 height)
3rd: 10 to 24 months (26 x 47 x30 height)

Droog is so delightfully witty. It appears that you can select the height of your highchair depending on your baby’s tollerance. Perhaps you are a giant and you’d like to see your baby eye to eye? Whatever the case, this is truly insane and I am enchanted.

I like how this toy box allows a child to utilize the niche in the front of the box, as either display space for a favorite toy, or for books. It’s also built responsibly of highly durable Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified sustainable birch wood with a 100% non-toxic, water-based finish.

Comes wth slow closing safety lid.

Start your kids out right with the Mod Rocker rocking chair.

Finally, some truly modern children’s furniture that’s not too expensive and looks great.

“Resembling abstract building blocks, the Solo Junior, with its bright colors and firm but comfortable foam material, calls out to be sat on, flipped over and climbed upon. A petite scale of a chair designed for the Seattle Public Library, it has a unique shape and makes a startlingly comfortable perch for bodies small and large. Inspired by the modern world’s constant state of flux, Arne Quinze and Yves Milan design furniture that expresses playfulness, creativity, quality, excitement and ingenuity. Made of Quinze & Milan’s proprietary polyurethane foam, which was developed as an alternative to upholstery. The Solo is weather-resistant, nontoxic, recyclable and easy to clean. Suggested age: 3 yrs and up.”

What great children’s furniture.

“piedras seating designed by javier mariscal for the magis me too collection right out of the stone age come these imaginative chairs, tables and benches designed like boulders.

made of durable polyethylene, these are built to stand up to years of rugged play, both indoors and out.”

These little chairs are so cute and inexpensive that I want to get some even though I don’t have kids. The chairs are made entirely of pure granulated cork (reclaimed from the bottle-stopper industry) and a non-toxic binding agent.

Start your baby out right with a bentwood bassinet.

Have you seen this yet? If not, take a look. Even if you are allergic to kids, you’ve got to appreciate the design of this little chair. Turned one way, the seat height is 10.5″; flipped the other way the seat height is 14.5″. And, best of all, turned on it’s side it becomes a rocking stool. Super good design. It’d be a good gift for itty bitty humans- not too terribly pricey.

Available in red, yellow, white, or blue.

measures 19.5″ x 17.75″ x 22.75″

I was just at a baby shower, so I have babies on the brain, but I thought that this is a nice modern alternative to the rocking chair.

Available in 8 different colors.

This little wall-bed folds away under this tiny shelf. Bunk beds also available. It’s like being at summer camp all over again.
