Kaboost
They’re not going to get any taller for a while, so give them a Kaboost. ($39) Kaboost has four spring-loaded arms that snap on to the legs of any chair and boosts the chair to two new height positions. Heavy-duty plastic holds up to 300 lbs, and stays securely in place even when the chair is moved. Choose from green, chocolate or natural, and enjoy having them at your level for dinner.
Monarch Nursing Chair
Ergonomic design isn’t just for office nerds anymore! New moms will love the Monarch Nursing Chair. ($749.95) The chair was designed after extensive study of nursing mothers. Its low seat raises the lap, supporting baby without pillows. Adjustable lumbar support and curved seatback take care of posture, and the padded seat pad takes care of the back of knees and thighs. And there’s plenty of room for siblings to sit in. Wipe clean fabric comes in 12 colors. Ergoriffic.
Age Design HiLo Chair
There is no way it gets any more versatile. The Age Design HiLo Chair ($349.95) is every chair for every child from six months to six years. One swivel and it goes from high chair to under table chair. One more and it’s a desk chair. And it does it all with no interstices or moving parts. Oh, and it’s incredibly good looking and comes in four colors. If only they could never outgrow the HiLo…
Sandra Crib
Hand tufted Italian leather. Yes, hand tufted Italian leather. On a crib. The Sandra Crib from Miguel. (call for pricing) Well, that makes a dog out of that run-of-the-mill department store crib you were eyeing, doesn’t it? The Sandra is just ridiculous. Hand tufted Italian leather (or Crypton fabric), clean lines, that Miguel out-of-site out-of-view locking mechanism… Beautiful, luxurious and comfortable. Jealous? Yeah, you know you are.
Offi Ovum Bassinet
Hey, a sleeping baby shouldn’t louse up your décor. Take them on a chic trip to la-la land with the Ovum Bassinet from Offi. (call for pricing) Designer Heidi Newell crafted the Ovum to “communicate the care, joy and welcome that modern parents have for their newborns.” We’ll second that. This gorgeous post-modern Shaker bassinet keeps baby in view at any angle, either on the standing or rocker base. And did we mention the sophisticated looks? It’s okay; let ‘em sleep.
Cassandra Baby Crib
You’re practically sleeping on a used sofa-bed in comparison. The Cassandra Crib from Miguel (call for pricing) is one swingin’ piece of baby luxe. The entire crib is upholstered in Crypton Fabric, for one thing. (Stain, bacteria and odor resistant Crypton Fabric, no less.) It also features a revolutionary locking mechanism that’s out of site and out of view. Clean lines, hip, ridiculously chic. Your baby deserves it!
Cub Children’s Chair
And you thought cork only went in your wine bottle. Oops! The Cub Children’s Chair from Daniel Michalik ($238) should dispel that falsehood in a hurry. This chair is, of course, all cork, and all unique in design and finish. And it’s totally organic reclaimed cork and non-toxic finishes, so you can feel good about this purchase. Never mind that you might have previously passed out over the same cork in baby’s favorite chair…
