Your baby's firsts come first with us For you and your baby, every single “first” is a huge achievement, and a major milestone in their development. The first smile, the first word, their first time drinking from a cup without your help. And we take these developments just as seriously as you do. At Children’s IKEA we work hard to design products that will bring your baby on, in leaps and bounds!

Over the years, we’ve learned a lot about living with children – by collaborating with the world's leading children’s experts and speaking to parents, or studying children and their everyday life at home. All this knowledge goes into everything we do, enabling us to design products that are functional and safe, supporting children at every key stage of their development.

So while our products are busy helping your child to grow and develop safely, you can focus on the more important things in life – like watching them take those first wobbly steps. For more tips and ideas on how to prepare for your baby’s arrival, visit IKEA.co.uk/babysarrival

Designed to really grab your baby's attention Our products are safe for little mouths, since that’s a baby's way of finding out about size and shape.

A lot of research goes into making a good baby product at IKEA. And each one we come up with must meet two important criteria.

To promote your baby's development, and to be safe to play with.

Our development team ensure each design we produce does both.

We liaise with leading children’s experts, to get the latest research on how a child develops, and how a product idea can help. Then from the safety aspect, our products are tested to the strictest standards in the world. The result? A whole host of great ideas to stimulate your baby, and provide safe surroundings for our youngest friends.

From birth to three months, babies will turn towards sounds that are in front of them. Between six and twelve months, they’ll start to look towards sounds coming from behind, so rattles like this one are great for nurturing babies’ hearing. Anyone for peep-bo?

When babies feel different materials, it helps to develop their senses and certain areas of the brain. That’s why we use a mix of different textures, like plastic and velour, to encourage this.

To ensure safety, our seams are tested to withstand normal rough handling, and embroidered eyes instead of detachable parts.

And since babies’ eyesight is still developing, we use contrasting colours, like black and white, or red, instead of subtle shades.

The side bars are spaced for maximum safety, and we always use materials and finishes that can't be harmful to your baby.

Our cots have a height adjustable bed base, so once your baby is old enough to sit up, the base can be lowered for safety.

Most of our cots also turn into cot beds.

With IKEA, you and your baby can rest assured. All our cots, mattresses and cot textiles are designed to the highest safety standards, to take good care of your precious little ones.

Physically caring for your baby is such a wonderful part of becoming a parent. All that bonding! And in those first years of your baby’s life, the changing table is a place where you’ll be spending a lot of time together. The key to a changing routine that runs smoothly is to keep everything you need, like washcloths, lotions and potions, close at hand. Good lighting is essential, and of course a lovely mobile for your baby to focus on, while you're busy at the business end of

Playful progress Probably the most important way in which babies learn about themselves and the world around them, is play. It gives them exercise, and encourages them to improve each newfound skill. Which is why our toys are especially designed to stimulate and fascinate, appealing to your baby’s natural inquisitiveness, and encouraging development, every step of the way.

Ny bild Up and about About 12 months

ready for off About 7-10 months At this age, babies explore their surroundings with increasing curiosity. Many are also able to sit up without support. This means you’ll have to think more about safety in the home, something our range of PATRULL products can help you with. See our guide to a safer home at IkeA.co.uk

Meet Anna Efverlund, IKEA designer “I return to my childhood all the time. One of my favourite memories is of visiting my grandmother, where I would play with her colourful buttons for hours and hours. It’s a good example of how children play, how simple buttons can inhabit a magical world of their own. The joy I felt over those buttons as a child is a great source of inspiration in my work today as a grown-up. Because to do a good job as a designer for Children’s IKEA, you need to think differently – these products need to be more than just fun – they should also be functional, affordable and most of all, safe.

And since a childish mind does a good job of challenging conventions, I guess it’s fair to say it’s my job never to grow up.”
