I hate my hand-me-down crib with the passion of a thousand fiery suns, which is why it's in pieces in the attic while my kid sleeps in an old pack-and-play the color of used hospital scrubs. In my dreams, I've got something from Muu Furn…
I remember waddling over to the glider section of the baby mega-store. I eased myself onto one of the basic floor models. It wasn't much to look at (which is a nice way of saying, butt ugly), but I felt like I had discovered heaven in ch…
We discover so much incredible, inspiring talent from artists and craftspeople every day, that this just may be one of the hardest categories to cull down. Just imagine that we're choosing a few picks of the year and that we've got about…
Oh how I love the new Xylophone Music Table from the quirky, nostalgia-tastic furniture makers at Jellio. This 40-inch long coffee table inspired by that ubiquitous toy xylophone of my misspent youth would look so fantastic in a colorful…
We tend not to post too many recalls here of brands we don't tend to cover because, ugh, there are a lot of recalls. But in this case, today's Stork Craft crib recall of 2.1 million units is the largest crib recall ever, so it seems to w…
If the Fresco Fiamma was a car it would be a Lamborghini, all sleek and red and sexy. But since it's a limited edition baby high chair it feels weird to refer to it as sexy, so I'll just say super-awesome-cool. Bloom Baby , purveyors of …
Small space furniture is just getting smarter and smarter and I'm so glad to see that one of our fave U.S. kids' furniture makers, P'kolino, is getting in on it with their Klick table and chair set for kids . Kids up to about 7 can sit o…
The brilliant folks at Oeuf have listened to the pleas of cash-strapped moms like me and created a new kids' furniture collection that is chock full of the design and eco-friendliness of their other collections-- but at about half the pr…
We recently finished our basement, and having a spiffy designated playroom for the kids has done amazing things for my sanity. Now it's time to find storage for all the toys we so eagerly transferred there. In my search for the perfect p…
We're all major fans of Knoll studio, which is synonymous with elegant, modern furniture design. So we're especially happy that they've rolled out Knoll Kids , featuring scaled down versions of some of their most famous pieces. Your chil…
You know who you are, you design-crazy parents : You scour flea markets looking for vintage picture books to turn into nursery art, you spent more time picking paint colors than pediatricians, and your greatest dream is to discover some …
If only there was a way to make children's furniture stylish enough for your taste , but durable enough that you can drag it outside for birthday parties and spring playdates. If only there was a way to make that furniture from recycled …
I had the dizzying pleasure of attending the mammoth Toy Fair in February, and one thing that seemed to be everywhere was cardboard. Of all of them, my favorite was easily the U.S.-made Elia Mini Chair Kit which takes this basic material…
So it's not as though Q Collection Junior offering truly eco-conscious nursery items is new (it's a whole year old), but we do love their new 3-in-1 convertible Luna Crib which helps you get more for your money as you do more for the pla…
Maybe you're in the mood to daydream, or maybe you've had your near-limitless wealth stuffed in your mattress all this time (in which case: Hi! I'm available for adoption!), but either way, if you want to let your most fanciful kid decor…
What do I see when I look at this cloud? I see a floor free from clutter. The metal Cloud Shelf is the perfect place to stash toys, books and even my son's prized Spongebob baseball hat. It's deep enough to actually put stuff on at 6 inc…
We always say we have the best readers in the world (it's true!) and it's especially the case they point us towards wonderful brands like Rice . This Danish housewares company is run by a mom-and-pop team who's amassed a dandy selection …
The problem with a lot of desks for kids' rooms is that they look so serious and boring, I can't blame my kids for falling asleep before they even get through their spelling assignment. That is certainly not the case with the kids' desk …
One month after Christmas, and I still have no idea where half of these toys are going. I definitely need The Toy Store by Oeuf , a brand new super three-level toy storage system that offers a nice modern alternative to plastic storage b…
When you think Eames you probably think wood, but for kids raised around the Eames Elephant , they'll grow up to associate the designer with a rainbow of colored plastics. It's a stool, it's a bench, it's decoration. It's pint-sized mode…
We all think that we'll use our baby gliders once the little ones become big kids, but if your glider looks anything like most glider chairs, then I'm here to tell you that, no. You won't. However Q Collection , as part of Q Collection J…
Oh how we swoon over the pretty things in life . We're guessing you will too with these picks of our favorite things to make the nursery, kids room, or playroom as awesome as you want it to be. Liz: Artist Lindsay Brackeen's Tea With Whi…
Let's pretend I'm having another baby, and as long as we're pretending, let's pretend I had a budget transplant! Okay? So we're pretending, and I'm heading over to tiny Décor for a couple of the notNeutral Tetra 2 changing table/dressers…
BabyBjorn did a really brilliant thing when they launched their fantastic, comfy new BabySitter Balance bouncy seat - they created an adult-size version and let the product review editors all sit in it. What they didn't do is figure out …
