Safe Furniture for Children

26 June, 2017

As a parent, your primary concern is to make sure you are protecting your child in every way. Did you know that the furniture in your home might be putting your child at risk? It is important that you consider the quality of the furniture in your home, to reduce the possibility of any injuries. Here are a few things that you should consider when buying furniture for your child’s room:

Antiques vs. New Furniture

If you love the style and appearance of antique furniture, then it is important that you do your research to determine if it will be safe for your child. Older furniture designs often use different methods of production, which could potentially impact the health and safety of your child. In many situations, it is actually better to choose brand new furniture that uses the latest technology available to ensure your child’s safety. Keep in mind that many furniture collections at Tots to Teens Furniture are offered in antique finishes to give you the look of timeless furniture, but without sacrificing quality and innovative safety features.

Quality of Construction

It is always best to select high quality furniture, because it will be durable and safe for your child to use. Children might not be as gentle with their furniture as you would like, so by ensuring quality construction you can expect to use your furniture for years to come, instead of replacing items more frequently. For example, buying dressers with self-closing mechanisms prevents drawers and doors from being slammed shut on little fingers. Baby Cribs and Kids Beds made out of solid woods will be durable and be able to grow with your children making them worth the long term investment.

Look for Potential Hazards

Consider the design and style of the furniture, and look for pieces or areas that might cause harm to the child. It is best to avoid furniture that has glass, and also stay away from anything with sharp edges or corners. Inspect the furniture for loose nails or screws that could cut or scratch the child. Also, it is a good idea to check for potential product recalls that might have been issued for the specific type of furniture that you were planning to use.

Furniture Retailer You Can Trust

One of the best things that you can do to have the peace of mind to know that you child is protected is to buy the furniture from a reputable source. Here at Tots to Teens Furniture, we work hard to ensure that you have safe options to choose from when you are buying furniture for your child’s room.
