Nest Seat

The Nest Seat is a neat seat for your children that can be used in a variety of ways and excite the imagination. It's made of two interlocking pieces: a ring and a smaller round cushion. It is stuffed with recycled upholstery remnants, has a washable cover, and is available in four bright colors. We love how your child can use it in so many ways. It's sure to be a favorite for many years!

Toddler Recliner
Does your child want to sit back and relax just like you? If so, you may like the Toddler Recliner. It looks just like the adult version, and it's available in five colors. It's great for reading, video games, watching television, or just copying Daddy as he watches the game!

Legare Bookcase
I've been hunting for a bookcase for a while now. I want one for all the books we've accumulated, preferably one that fits into our tiny nursery. While the blueberry and strawberry colors aren't a perfect fit for us, the look of the Legare Bookcase certainly is. This bookcase is only 18 inches deep but 59 inches tall. It's easy to put together and has adjustable shelves. If you need a bookcase in a small space, this might be a good option for you.

notNeutral Tetra 1 Collection
The notNeutral T4 collection was inspired by the Greek prefix tetra
(meaning 4), and the 80s computer game, Tetris. Each piece in this collection uses 4 drawer sizes to create interlocking storage structures.
The Tetra 1, shown above, is a 10 drawer unit made from the four drawer sizes in a 5-row, 2-drawer wide configuration. It is made from birch euro-ply and features one brightly painted drawer (with a choice of colors) and three dark sable painted drawers. The remaining drawers are finished in the natural birch euro-ply.
The accessory tray, available separately, can transform the top into a standard sized changing table. And when your child grows out of his nursery, you can continue using the Tetra 1 as a dresser, or in a linen cabinet, or even as a storage unit in your home office.
If you like the Tetra 1, be sure to check out the Tetra 2, Tetra 3, and Tetra 4.

Are you looking for a great convertible crib? The Stokke Sleepi System not only looks great, but will grow with your child for many years. The Stokke Sleepi can be used as a bassinet, crib, toddler bed, and it can even be turned into a pair of chairs. The Sleepi System includes 2 mattresses, 1 drape rod, and a conversion kit to transform from a crib to a mini bed.
If you spend a little more for the Stokke Sleepi Junior Bed Kit, you can turn it into a 67.6 inch long junior bed. This kit includes 1 junior sized mattress. The mattress has a waved base, and the underside of the cover is made of netting for increased ventilation and comfort.

We've featured Celery Furniture before, but I want to tell you more about the Lullaboo Cradle. Celery Furniture makes nursery furniture that not only looks great, but fulfills your child's need for comfort and fun. This cradle is elegant and simple, so simple that you don't need any hardware to put it together! Available in two versions, stable and rocking; it's small enough to keep by your bed at night, and still move into your living area during the day. That way your baby will never be far from your reach. The Lullaboo Cradle is made from bamboo and 100% recycled MDF.

Woody Chalkboard Table
I think this next product, the Woody Chalkboard Table, would be a ton of fun for any child. The surface is a chalkboard with a bowl in the center to store chalk. It would be great in any play room! If your little one likes to draw with chalk but you are concerned about the elements or don't have a good place for him to draw, this is a perfect alternative!

Panton Junior
When I was young, I loved a little rocking chair that I had. It was made for toddlers, and I found it so exciting to have a piece of furniture just for me. If you want toddler sized furniture for your little one, here's a great chair. The Panton Junior is 25% smaller than the original and has a fun shape, smooth curves, and has color that won't fade over time. If you have a few, they also stack easily. It's available in two colors, orange and white.

Mammut Furniture at IKEA
When I see the Mammut furniture from IKEA, I really wish I could go back and decorate our nursery with these pieces. The designs are whimsical and imaginative, and are capable of withstanding years of creative abuse. It almost looks like this furniture comes straight out of a saturday morning cartoon! Just about everything has color options of red, blue or green. You can mix and match colors to create a colorful room. And best of all, this stuff is cheap! An entire room of a table, dresser, 3 stools, and a bedside table will cost you less than $200!

Monarch Nursery Chair
Not all nursing chairs are created equal. We have a glider that we bought from Craigslist, but I don't think it was ever actually used for nursing. However, if we had the Monarch Nursery Chair in our nursery things would probably be very different. It was designed with nursing mothers in mind by Dr. Lynn Jones, a furniture design professor from the UK. The chair has a low seat that raises the lap and supports baby, eliminating the need for pillows and footstools, while ensuring that feet remain flat on the floor. A gently curved seat-back supports the back and shoulders keeping the spine straight and chest forward ideal for nursing mothers. The angled seat pad that supports the back of knees and thighs, and the adjustable lumbar support increases comfort and support for the lower back. Finally, the seat has flared sides, allowing ample room for siblings during story time.

My First Bear Sofa
I've mentioned before how I tried to do a teddy bear theme for Andy's nursery. It didn't work out as I had a hard time finding teddy bear items and then I lost interest when he was born and I wasn't sleeping. I wish I had seen this a year ago (and had room for it in his nursery now!). My First Bear Sofa by Kaloo is a great place for your toddler to sit, a chair all his own! There's also a cat version bunny as well.
