Nilo gets a face lift
Categories: Baby, Modern Nursery, Preschool Toys, Toddler Toys, Toys
Nilo tables have long been admired by parents for their sturdy, solid wood construction, and the wide expanse of play space, perfect for wooden trains, blocks, games, Lego, craft activities or anything else a kid could dream up. But for all the great functionality, the Nilo table isn’t exactly a sexy piece of furniture. The… read more!

Demanding supply
Categories: Baby, Cold Weather, Modern Nursery
Two of my favorite items for the fourth quarter are having serious availability issues, and it’s a bummer. The Svan Miniature Table and Chairs set isn’t going to be available again until 2008 because of an issue with their last shipment. I haven’t heard the whole story yet, but I do know that they’re pretty… read more!

ubi changes everything
Categories: ABC Show 2007, Baby, Modern Nursery, New Products, Travels & Trade Shows
This easily the most brilliant thing I saw during my first day of the show, and I’ll be really surprised if I see something that trumps it over the next three days. The ubi is billed as a modern changing table, but it’s more than that. It’s really a design innovation that will set parents… read more!

How d’you Doomoo?
Categories: ABC Show 2007, Baby, Modern Nursery, Newborn Essentials, Travels & Trade Shows
I’ve been a huge fan conceptually of the Doomoo chair since I first heard of it more than two years ago. Maybe it’s sentimental. I bought a similiar, adult size chair from a European furniture store in a fit of entitlement when my first pregnancy went overdue. Ambling around downtown Boston, hugely rotund and completely… read more!

Elevating the high chair
Categories: Baby, Modern Nursery, Nursing & Feeding
If you could graph the trend in high chairs, it would look something like the trajectory of a yo-yo. A generation ago, everything was wood. Then came plastic. Over the past few years, a new breed of sleek European wooden chairs became so popular, they practically obliterated the plastic chairs (around here, anyway). But now… read more!

Move over, alphabet
Categories: Baby, Infant Toys, Modern Nursery, Toddler Toys, Toys
When I was growing up, my family had a summer home on Cape Cod. The house had a dining room, but there was plenty of room to eat in the kitchen. So the dining room instead served as a playroom for my (much) younger sister. The centerpiece of the room was a set of interlocking… read more!

Furniture forays
Categories: Baby, Modern Nursery
After three years of carrying exclusively Stokke nursery furniture, Magic Beans is branching out. After extensive research, we decided to bring in ducduc, a New York-based line of modern nursery furniture. This was not an easy decision. We’ve been pretty well spoiled by Stokke’s ironclad quality control and quick shipping schedule. If we were going… read more!
