High chairs normally come in standard designs but the Boon High Chair promises to offer flexibility and better seating for the toddlers. It features a pneumatic lift for proper height adjustment and a pedestal bottom to rid you of the stumbles that high chair legs normally have.

It is easy to clean, roomy and has no crevices which can accumulate trapped food. It comes with safety features that include a five point harness and restraining post. The tray, safety restraints and cushion can be removed when the child is older, turning the highchair into a height adjustable child’s chair.

Say Hello to Mr. Chair

brian yalung — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 22:45:44 +0000

Mr. Chair is actually known as an Invisible Chair as well. It was made by Paul Sandip as a tribute of sort to another designer, Phillipe Starck who is best known for the Mr. Impossible Chair.

As a prelude of sorts, Sandip made the Mr. Chair. The chair is practically a standard chair that comes with four legs and are transparent. Each one has a mass of polystyrene balls inside, reacting to shaking and electrostatic energy which should really invite more mischief, especially if you have a lot of unruly toddlers that are sure to be fascinated by this cool chair design.

Boat Bed for Toddlers!

Max — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 12:11:54 +0000

I love fishing, I go to my local Piers where I can fish practically free without fishing license here in SF Bay Area. What got me started fishing was my grandfather and my father, both who literally fish if they are not working. With that in mind, I have learn to love the “art” of fishing and still earning my “masters degree” in it. (Fishing tip, for lakes, I find you can catch more fish using floaters, something that Americans don’t do much but my grandfather’s main method. (he was Korean))

Anyways, I did have a Transformers tent bed when I was growing up about 20+ years ago but here’s an awesome boat bed I might have also wanted to have as a toddler.

I think one of the best ways to support your kids is to support them in whatever they are interested in whether that’s basketball or fishing. Who knows, perhaps your kids are destined to appear on ESPN someday for champion bass fishing.

FireTruck Bed for Toddlers!

Max — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 12:08:05 +0000

I know many kids love firemen, so did I when I was growing up. Firemen is one of the hardest and respected jobs, they risk their lives to save the rest of us.

If your kids love firemen and someday wish to become one, you might want to help them out with their dreams by getting one of these FireTruck beds. Now, my advice is to give them on a special occasion such as their birthday or Christmas present. (or make it an early present if you want) I think that will give your kids a good reason to be better parent-listeners, award them for special things they do otherwise you might spoil them. Just my 2 cents on parenting.

Nixie Concrete Clock

brian yalung — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 04:44:23 +0000

Here is a clock that may not necessarily be the ideal clock design you are looking for. But as far as making use of nixie tubes, it does seem to serve its purpose. Making use of six nixie tubes which are fitted perfectly in the concrete block provides and unorthodox way of showing you the time. Though the visualization may need some work, improvements are bound to come on as well if this device would ever be considered for purchase.

This fully functioning prototype uses vintage Z560M Nixie tubes, and it’s version 0.01 of Luxembourg designer Daniel Kurth’s Nixie Concrete idea. I doubt though if this would be recommended clock to have with little toddlers running around in the house or if you have fragile floors.

Wall sockets are spread over a home and for most home owners, having one in key places where appliances or where one can easily plug in gadgets is a need. But while that is normally covered in the interior design plans, you may want to consider child safety as well as far as open sockets are concerned.

Kids, particularly the toddlers do not always understand warnings coming from their parents. So as a concerned parent, what would you do?

There are normally socket protectors you can buy but why go through the trouble if you can make one with common resources in your home. Plastic lids from consumed food or items are bound to be piling up somewhere in your home. Rather than leave them for naught, check out this video on how you can make use of them for a good cause.
