The right baby equipment should be safe, durable and practical for everyday use. Products can vary considerably in their age recommendations, weight limits, materials, cleaning requirements and space needs. Looks and a long list of features don’t necessarily tell you whether a product suits your home or your child’s stage of development.
A product with several ways to adapt it may seem like good value at first. What matters, though, is how long each feature can actually be used. With a high chair, for example, adjustable seat and footrest positions are more useful than a long list of accessories. For a baby playpen, the internal dimensions, base height and a secure locking mechanism matter more than decorative details.
“From birth” doesn’t automatically mean a product is suitable for every sleeping or everyday situation. An electric baby swing, for example, may only be suitable up to a certain weight. A high chair should only be used once your child can sit upright independently. Always check the age range, maximum weight and point at which use should stop together.
Fabric inserts, harnesses and mattresses regularly come into contact with liquids and food. Removable, washable covers make cleaning easier. With wooden furniture, also check whether the fixings need tightening and whether spare parts are available. An easy-clean surface may be more useful day to day than an extra play or music module.
For a baby playpen, the EN 12227:2010-12 standard provides a useful reference for checking construction and stability. According to the product information, the roba Little Stars model was developed to this standard and has three adjustable base positions. The four wheels must always be locked when the playpen is stationary.
For a bedside crib, the relevant standard is EN 1130:2019. Correct attachment to the parents’ bed, a suitable mattress and a level surface are also essential. Don’t use the crib if any parts are damaged or the fastening isn’t secure.
Measure the space where you plan to put the product before you buy. A playpen measuring 100 × 100 cm needs to be positioned well away from windows, radiators, cords and furniture edges. A play mattress should be the right size for how you plan to use it: the roba model folds from 120 × 120 × 4 cm as a baby play mat to 60 × 120 × 8 cm as a mattress.
Check the following details:
Wooden baby furniture can be sturdy and durable, but its joints need checking regularly. On a high chair, make sure you can reach the seat, footrest and harness with a damp cloth. Wash fabric components according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
For products with electronics, such as a musical baby walker or an electric baby swing, check the power adapter, battery compartment and cables too. Don’t clean electrical components with water. Mobile products such as a wooden baby walker should only be used on a clear, level floor and under supervision.
Why this product suits this profile: This square playpen provides a clearly defined play area and can be moved around the home on its four wheels.
Three base heights, lockable wheels and a stated maximum weight of 15 kg make it easier to plan how long the playpen can be used than an age recommendation alone.
A 100 × 100 cm lying and play area, a sturdy beechwood frame and a washable fabric insert.
Why this product suits this profile: This grow-with-your-child high chair is designed for families looking for an adjustable seating solution to suit different stages of development.

We’ve put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and fully comply with the safety regulations in force in the EU.
For mealtimes, a 6-in-1 high chair such as the Kikka Boo Woody or a classic grow-with-your-child high chair may be suitable. For either option, check when the seat can be used, the maximum weight, how the harness fits and how easy the padding is to clean.
A baby play gym or a baby toy with small parts should only be within your child’s reach under supervision. With an electric baby swing such as the Kikka Boo Codie, check the weight limit, 5-point harness, timer and stability on the floor. Don’t use a baby walker on stairs, near doors or on uneven surfaces.
In the early days, the essentials include a suitable place to sleep, appropriate textiles, a safe changing solution and a level play surface. A baby playpen or electric baby swing should only be used in accordance with its instructions. Not every product labelled “from birth” is designed to be used as a place to sleep.
It depends on the model and its maximum weight limit. According to the product information, the hauck Alpha Plus has five seat heights, three footrest positions and a weight capacity of up to 90 kg. Your child must still be able to sit upright independently before using it as a high chair. Always follow the instructions and take your child’s stage of development into account.
Place it on a flat, stable floor and check that it has no creases or damaged seams. Also make sure its folded dimensions fit the cot and check whether the cover is washable. A baby play mat isn’t automatically suitable as an unsupervised place to sleep.
