Furniture Ideas For Toddlers

When you have children your inner lioness will surface from the depths of your human instincts to protect the tiny miracle that has enriched your life. One way to make sure your precious cub is safe is to make sure you have taken the appropriate safety measures within your own home. When it comes to furniture, it is important to pick the right pieces that will not endanger your child and that your child will not destroy. There are certainly some pieces that you want to avoid.

Avoid Sharp Edges

Coffee tables tend to be the perfect height for your toddler to hold himself up all on his own, but they also tend to be very close your little one’s head. To avoid any injuries it is best to steer clear of sharp edges on this central piece of furniture in your living room. The Beverly Glen Cocktail Table with Fluted Detail,from Bernhardt,has perfectly round edges that make this a kid-friendly table.

Soft Couches

Your child is experiencing this world in a very exploratory way and their motor skills are not quite there yet, so help your tiny Indiana Jones navigate through a jungle without too many spikes. The Landara Southport Sofa by Tommy Bahama is the perfect place for your child to land safely with its extra soft cushioned seat and neutral earthy fabric. With its Sumatra Tabaco wood finish, this sofa proves you don’t have to give up on elegance when you have children. Beware of couches with a delicate light fabric or this time it’s your little one that will pose a threat!
