Kidmodern Art - Drums

First to recommend

Description

This print marks a really nice point between what a parent (or maybe a grandparent) can visually appreciate and what a kid can get excited about. Kind of pricey, but, uh, "that's art?"

Baby Closet Dividers

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

It's difficult to describe to a non-parent how hard it can be to keep an infant's clothes organized. You are often storing items a year or so in advance and your kid is completely growing out of apparel every few months. These handy closet dividers help keep everything in perspective.

Sian Swan

First to recommend

Description

Handcrafted by Brooklyn-based designer Sian Keegan, this bird is half crocheted and half sewn from recycled and scrap fabric. The piece is made (and sort of priced) like art, so it may be better suited to the dresser top, out of reach of small and grabby hands.

Floating Fish Mobile

First to recommend

Description

Although a little basic at first glance, this fish mobile is designed to how simple an infant's powers of recognition can be. Form and contrast are all you really need. There seems to be a Paul Klee reference here that also adds a nice touch.

Bugaboo Cameleon Stroller

Description

It's difficult to get over a Bugaboo price tag, but the Cameleon [sic] is really all you could ever want in a stroller. A stylish bassinet, stroller, and jogger rolled into one, this single cart will safely guide your child from infancy through toddler-hood, be it in the city or jungle (mosquito net included). Simply an awesome stroller, available with custom fabrics.
