Hiya Rocker by Spot on Square

Aaron Burgess — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 12:30:00 GMT

While its non-toxic, eco-friendly finish is a nice perk, the Hiya Rocker by Spot on Square wins our favor for its roominess and practicality. Two kids can curl up in the Hiya's roomy seat, and the back of the rocker provides ample storage for those must-read bedtime books.

Available in orange or white; $149 from Spot on Square.

non-skid underside. It's available in maple, cherry stain and walnut.

For Rockers in Training

Metal Couture designs adult, kids and baby clothing with sophisticated rocker graphics. Soft fabrics and beautiful colors make their clothes stand out from the other rocker inspired clothes I've seen. The skull on a onesie trend has been around for a while, but when it's done this well it's clear that Metal Couture isn't just trying to be rocker cool. They are rocker cool.

7 Days of Must Haves: Moses Basket Rocker

Erin Behan — Tue, 27 May 2008 12:32:00 GMT

I'm sure, as our baby progresses (almost 7 weeks and counting), we'll have another must-have, but our current savior is the Moses basket rocker ($85 at Giggle). I'm sure all parents know the drill. After x-amount of walking, soothing and rocking, the baby is asleep--finally! A ginger arm-hand-elbow shift is executed. The baby is gently placed in his bed, and then, one eye opens, a hand wiggles, and the dance begins again. BUT with the Moses basket rocker, one can simply rock the basket. Brilliant. I don't know why cribs don't come with a rocking function. Our rocker stand usually buys me an extra 30 minutes in the morning as our little angel is starting to wake up for the day. Of course, you'll also need a Moses basket.

Rock a Bye Baby in the Collins Rocker by ducduc

SunnyChanel — Thu, 15 May 2008 16:04:00 GMT

Forget the pasty pastel and gingham rockers that you find in most baby superstores, the kind of chair you try to hide in the corner of the nursery with a big blankie over it hoping no one spies it’s ugliness. The master designers of ducduc have come up with a sleek stylish rocking chair that I, personally, would have on display anywhere in my home. The Collins Rocker was inspired by the shapes and colors of the art deco era and comes in a variety of colors, a couple lovely Marimekko fabrics (as pictured above) and some great Knoll shades. It also boosts being constructed of 100% sustainable hardwood, a non-VOC white lacquer finish and is greenguard indoor air quality certified. $1295 will get one for your own home.

7 Days of Cribs: Babybett Suiko by Sirch

Aaron Burgess — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 15:03:00 GMT

Not only can it be costly to buy a new bed for each stage of your wee one's growth; it can also be a lot of work to build, move, transport, store, and ultimately sell or hand down said beds. Obviously, a lot of all-in-one sleeping solutions have emerged to tackle just these problems (we've even covered a few particularly awesome ones here), but none with quite the design of Sirch's Babybett Suiko.

Depending on how early in Baby's life you buy it, the Babybett can be transformed with minimal effort to last you three growing stages (Ikea Allen wrenches, we hardly knew you):

1. Take off the wheels, and it's a bassinet.

2. Pop them back in, and it's a crib. (Also see main image above.)

3. Lift the side panel, and voila! Instant toddler bed.

Admittedly, it's not perfect -- that solid wall could make for some awfully isolated alone time -- but it's a step in the right direction.

Available for 779 Euros, or around $1,188 U.S., at Design 3000.
