Three Nesting Blocks by Kalon Studios
Miyo Baby Hammock
Lounging on a hammock is as good as it gets. But it’s not just for grown-ups! The Miyo Baby Hammock ($199) is a brilliant way to send them off to sleep. It conforms to their body, offering tons of support and comfort, and a gentle sway. And the Miyo is super flexible. Hang it from the ceiling, attach it to a stand or door clamp (sold separately), or even take it on the road. Let ‘em lounge a bit.
Seed Organic Cradle
We don’t recommend letting them sleep outside, but you get the idea. The Seed Organic Cradle ($329) is as natural as all outdoors. There’s not one damn hint of any chemical in this cradle. 100% Organic hypoallergenic cotton (much stronger and softer). Natural sap-derived latex mattress (contours to baby). Mattress base with breather holes top to bottom (maximum air circulation). It’s stronger, softer and cleaner. That’s sleeping better in our book.
Streamline Green Frog Clock
Froggy went a’countin’ with the Streamline Green frog Clock. ($14) This little digital gem is perfect for carrying around on the road, and it’s got all the bells and..ahem…alarms as your alarm clock. But it’s a frog. Y’know, so it’s cute and fun for your kids. Includes batteries, for you, though.
Ecotots Surfboard Growth Chart
Bring a touch of the islands to your child’s development with the Surfboard Growth Chart from Ecotots. ($60) This gorgeous longboard will be there to record your little kahuna’s growth, and serve as a treasured memento for years after. Draw between the stripes – it’s unfinished there. And being an Ecotots product, the board is 100% formaldehyde-free FSC Certified birch plywood with a non-toxic water based finish. This is one board that guarantees an endless summer.

Eco-friendly luxe. That is the 2 Piece Nursery Set from Argington. ($1,480) The Sahara Crib & Delphi Changing Table come together to form a gorgeous set that you’ll want to keep forever. Both are available in walnut, red maple or birch, all sustainable-growth wood and 100% non-toxic finishes and glues. Both pieces are extremely versatile and ready to grow with your baby. Looking great and being soft on the Earth are only fringe benefits. (Right?)
Haba Garden Chalet Twin Bed
Not quite sleeping in the garden, but not bad. The Garden Chalet Twin Bed from Haba ($599) brings the great outdoors inside for your little angel. The frame is solid birch and plywood, with six strands of pink fabric roses to drape over. Also comes with a pouch to store books and stuff in. It’s beautiful and tranquil. And no watering required.
Babybox
Your baby will be growing like crazy. The Babybox ($2,230) is the only crib that can keep up. This ingenious crib, designed by Carolina Galeano & Francisco Poggi, changes configurations via a lattice-work frame that fits together at different heights as your baby grows. And of course, it looks great, with a white semi-laquered MDF finish. Crib comes with three modular mattresses and five castors with two breaks. Runs from birth to 24 months. Told ya it grows with baby.
Cork Family Stools
New parents need furniture that can take a newborn beating and still look great. Think cork! Think the Cork Family. ($380) These three stools, designed by Jasper Morrison, are all just a little bit different in design. But they’re all unbelievably tough, and aesthetically pleasing. Baby can use them as a stool or a table, or you can co-opt them as a side table. Y’know, if you’re a selfish bastard like that. Either way, this family is…ahem…corking.
Zid Zid Kids Hippo Cushion
This is one hippo that won’t tear you apart for getting into their turf. The Hippo Animal Cushion from Zid Zid Kids ($40) is a squeezably soft new pal for your little adventurer. It’s 12” x 14” with an embroidered brushed cotton flannel or fleece shell, filled with poly, and it’s as gentle as…well, not as gentle as a hippo. Gentle as a cushion? Yeah, that’s more like it.
