Is there any disadvantage of having a toddler table and chair set?
Yes. Everything has its own pros and cons:
- What I see one of the biggest possible cons of small size table chair is when kids use it while eating food. If parents do not deal with kids strictly to follow table manners, then kids spread the food all over the room or house as they can easily move in and out of the chair. It is not the case with high chair.
- If the furniture is not sturdy kids drag it everywhere in the house which produces an unbearable noise as well as the house looks messy.
- When kids run around tables and chair they might hurt their head, elbows, and knees especially if corners are sharp. See Infographic Buyer’s Guide for toddler tables and chair sets.
At what age you should buy kids’ furniture?
It depends on child growth and learning capability. I think from 18-month children can easily sit on chairs without any support.
Precautions while using kids’ furniture.
Whenever you buy kids furniture always consider child safety first. Furniture should be sturdy enough not to tilt forward or backward when kids use it. Corners must be smooth or rounded. The paint or material of the furniture should not be toxic.
