Baby & Toddler Furniture
How to choose baby & toddler furniture
Bed scope
Decide between a full cot bed (Furniture) and a cot extension kit (Cot & Toddler Bed Accessories) if you already have a frame.
Feeding spot
Pick a standalone high chair for a fixed feeding corner, or a booster seat for table mounted meals in a small flat.
Build material
Weigh material: wood and oak read warm but heavy, plastic and metal are light but less cosy.
Colour
Colour choice runs neutral (white, grey, beige, oak) to bright (pink, blue, red, green); neutrals outlast trend shifts.
Liner fabric
For cot liners, choose cotton for breathability or polyester for quick wipe, based on spill frequency.
What's good
- A convertible high chair (High Chairs & Boosters Seats) feeds a newborn at 0+ and then a toddler, so one item covers years.
- Wooden cot beds (Furniture) in oak or white give a sturdy sleep frame that suits a nursery and later a kids room.
- Cotton or velvet/cotton cot bumpers (Cot Bumpers & Liners) pad the rails and come out for washing when soiled.
- A 3-in-1 booster seat with padded seat and harness (High Chairs & Boosters Seats) packs small but still secures a wriggly child.
Things to watch
- Solid wood furniture weighs more than plastic or metal, so moving it between rooms needs two adults.
- Fabric bumpers (cotton, velvet/cotton) must be laundered often, while polyester mixes trade breathability for wipe clean ease.
- Multi stage high chairs (6 in 1, 0+) have more straps and clips to wipe than a bare booster seat.
- Leather pads (where listed) look smart but feel cool against skin compared to cotton blends.
- Cot extension kits (Cot & Toddler Bed Accessories) are clever yet add boxes of parts you store until the toddler stage.
Care & maintenance
Wipe frames
Wipe plastic and metal high chairs with a damp cloth, then dry to stop water spots.
Launder fabric
Wash cotton and cotton/velvet bumpers on a gentle cycle, and reshape while air drying.
Care for wood
Polish wooden cot beds lightly, and keep them clear of radiators to avoid warping.
Rinse silicone
Rinse silicone mats under warm water, they need no brush.
