The Tripp Trapp high chair from Stokke has been designed to grow with your baby. You can see the ledges built into the side of the wood which are "rails" where the size can be adjusted with the baby's growth. With the recent instances of melamine and product recalls in baby furniture, companies that focus on production quality are garnering more attention. Stokke has received design awards for their ergonomics and product safety. The Tripp Trapp high chair is made of beech wood and comes in 5 colors: black, cherry, beech, natural, and walnut. There is a seat harness called the "baby rail" that is sold along with the high chair that completes the design as seen in the picture. Price: chair: $249; "baby rail" seat $89. Buy product: here.

My nephew recently figured out how to open doors and is enthralled by it. My brother ran out and got door knob locks for "kid proofing" of the doors. I laughed at the prospect since they waited until the last minute. I was reminded though of how useful a gift these can be and that they are very inexpensive gift ideas. At some time, the home will require child proofing for the kid's own safety as well as the mental sanity of the parents. These door knob locks are only $6 and can be found here.
Curiosity of children makes parents think about child proofing hazardous areas of their home such as the kitchen. The stove top presents one of the greatest dangers for kids as they can easily burn themselves by reaching up and touching the stove top. This product is called Stove Guard and it is designed to serve as a protective shield from the grabbing hands of children. The few inches of guard make it unlikely that the boy or girl will have the necessary reach to a stove burner. The protective child proofing shield is attached using an adhesive. Stove Guard fits units that are 24" - 36" wide. Price: $25. Product: here.
