We're passionate parents and child development enthusiasts helping Australian families create the perfect spaces for their little ones to learn, play, and grow.
KidsTableAndChairs.com.au was born out of a simple frustration that many Australian parents know all too well: the overwhelming challenge of finding quality children's furniture that's safe, durable, and appropriately sized for little ones.
When our founder, Sarah Mitchell, became a first-time mum in 2018, she spent countless hours researching toddler furniture options. She discovered that most resources were either superficial product listings or reviews that didn't address the real concerns parents have—like whether the chair height would suit her toddler's proportions, whether the finish was truly non-toxic, or if the table could withstand the inevitable marker mishaps and juice spills.
That experience planted the seed for what would become Australia's most comprehensive resource for children's furniture guidance. Sarah teamed up with fellow parents, an early childhood educator, and a furniture industry specialist to create something truly useful: a website that combines honest product analysis with educational content about child ergonomics, safety standards, and practical maintenance tips.
We believe that every child deserves furniture that fits them properly—not oversized adult chairs that leave their feet dangling, or flimsy pieces that tip over during enthusiastic play sessions. Proper children's furniture isn't a luxury; it's a fundamental part of creating a safe, comfortable environment where kids can develop good posture habits, build independence, and have a dedicated space that's truly their own.
We also believe in transparency. When we recommend a product, we explain exactly why. When we partner with retailers like Amazon Australia, we're upfront about our affiliate relationships. Our revenue model doesn't change our recommendations—we'd rather lose a commission than suggest an unsafe or poor-quality product to a family.
Every piece of content on our site goes through a rigorous review process. Our articles draw on Australian safety standards, ergonomic guidelines from paediatric occupational therapists, and real-world testing insights from families in our community. We pay particular attention to factors that matter to Australian families, from materials that hold up in our climate to products that ship reliably across the country.
We regularly update our recommendations as new products enter the market and as we gather feedback from parents who've purchased based on our guides. Our product comparison tools are designed to help you quickly narrow down options based on your child's age, your budget, and the specific features that matter most to your family—whether that's built-in storage for craft supplies, height adjustability for growing kids, or a foldable design for smaller living spaces.
