"Designed for Kids" Book Review

All of you style-savvy parents -- and parents to be -- take heart. You can find strollers, high chairs and kids' furniture that maintains your Design Within Reach/Restoration Hardware aesthetic. And with Phyllis Richardson's new book, Designed for Kids, you don't even have to work that hard to find them!




Designed for Kids reads sort of like a reference guide, and sort of like a special kids' gear edition of Lucky Magazine. The pages are filled with well-researched information about stylish but timeless design finds. There are also several interviews with designers, like Scott Wilson and Paola Antonelli, many of whom are parents themselves and therefore even more motivated to make beautiful and functional tools.


The book is well organized by those functions, with chapters on Mobility (think carseats and strollers), Nursery, Mealtimes, Travel and more. Some sections, like Decoration & Textiles, were filled with items we'd use anywhere in the house, not just in the kid's room.


As shoppers, we especially loved that Richardson included catalog-quality photos, and information on where to buy all of the items. At $34.95, the book is a great shower gift, or to buy for yourself as a resource book for decorating ideas.
