Baby Sitter’s Club

Bueno Baby Furniture

Space-age highchairs and walkers with bells and whistles don’t sit well with you.

Offer your munchkins the best seats in the house with Bueno Baby furniture.

Resources for Infant Educarers instructor Hari Grebler started the company as an extension of the teaching method that believes children should develop at their own pace, but the stripped-down pine pieces have broad appeal.

Circular dining chairs are ideal for little tushies ready to sit on their own. Kidney-shaped tables let tots face teacher and one another with ease. An adorable village kitchen (available by special order) lets up to four cooks have at the soup.

Each piece is handcrafted and finished with nontoxic sealer.

In other words, it’s all bueno.

Available by phone order (310-392-2462) or e-mail buenobaby0@aol.com. To see styles, go to harisriestudio.com.
