Baby furniture and nursery furniture: making your choice

Baby furniture is an investment that covers a few years – more if you go on to have baby number two or more! – so it is worth research to ensure you buy the products that suit you best.

You’ll be spending a lot of time in the nursery so this isn’t just a place where baby forms his first impressions of the world, it is also somewhere that needs to be practical.

You’ll want to think about:

• Cot and mattress
• Moses basket or crib
• Changing table
• Wardrobe
• Chest of drawers
• A comfortable chair for feeding or sitting reading books

Baby furniture style

As for décor and choosing the nursery furniture, the days of pastel pink and blue are long gone. You can choose bright colours, traditional wood or go very modern and have sleek and contemporary fittings.

What ever "look" you prefer, you are likely to find it at The Baby Show where many companies will be selling many different kinds of nursery furniture, baby and maternity clothes, equipment and much more. It's an ideal opportunity to research your choice and purchase an affordable, attractive and practical range of baby furniture. You can make huge savings at the Show, so don't forget to come prepared.

Do your research

With great savings to be made at The Baby Show, you need to do your research first so that you can snap up those bargains.

Take measurements of the room that you will be using for your nursery to ensure that it all fits! The companies at the Show are experts who will be able to give you technical and practical advice and show you the latest innovations in baby furniture.
Your newborn baby will spend a great deal of time in his nursery, so you'll want to choose comfortable, practical nursery furniture that complies with safety standards and is easy and safe to use. As he gets older, your baby will want to explore and test his developing abilities and baby furniture is a prime target for experimentation!

You’ll want to avoid:

• sharp corners
  
• little holes where fingers could become trapped
  
• heavy components like lids or flaps
  

Look for products labelled with "BS" - meaning that the furniture has compliance with the British Safety Standards. A Kitemark indicates that the product has been tested by the BSI (British Standards Institute) and therefore confirms with the relevant standards.
