10 Best Ikea Products for Kids
Ikea has so many options for kids, it was difficult to choose just ten from our favorite Swedish Meatball vendor. These items are our favorite tried and true Ikea products. What are we missing?
1. Antilop High Chair $20 This no frills high chair is perfect. Easy to wipe down and no place for food to hide, and you can’t beat the price.
2. Leka Baby Gym $25 Most baby gyms are gawdy, but this one is wooden and adorable.
Click through to see all of our favorites.
3. Expedit Shelf $129 This shelf made our list because it is perfect for toy filled storage bins. It’s pretty much like cubby holes from kindergarten.
4. Ekorre Walker $19 When the baby is learning to walk this clever walker has resistance for slow steps. Then when he is older it is a wagon to push his toys around in.
5. Lack Side Table $8 Although this is technically for a living room, these little tables are great for the play room. And you can’t beat the price.
6. Rens Sheepskin $25 These look great around the living room for another soft place to lay the baby but they are dangerous to keep in cribs and bassinets.
7. Kladd Bibs $4 Cheap, easy and good looking. We buy them in bulk.
8. Forsiktig Stool $4 It’s an adult world, make it a little easier to get around (or at least to reach the sink.)
9. Smila Mane Lamp $10 This wall lamp emits soft light and is tamper proof against little hands.
10. Gulliver Crib $99 This crib is no frills and a beautiful simple design. Wins against those fancy cribs all the time.

5 Favorite IKEA Hacks: IKEA Like You've Never Seen | Family Style commented on Feb 09 11 at 2:48 pmbarbara commented on Nov 19 10 at 9:13 amOh the Expedit bookcase…..all 3 of my kids have one in their bedrooms and we have TWO in our family room. They are AWESOME for holding *everything* and the price is fantastic for something that gets so much use!!
Siobhan commented on Nov 19 10 at 9:48 amI LOVE Ikea. More than a little. That stool (#8) is wonderful and way cheaper than any other stools out there, I looked! The moon lamp is so stinking cute and makes for the perfect nightlight in my 4 year old’s room. I have to say, however, that I would recommend the LEKSVIK crib. It’s top rated by consumer reports and converts to a toddler bed. How can you not love that?!
Melissa commented on Nov 19 10 at 12:48 pmMy husband & I just recently bought the KOJA tent. It’s a tad ugly (I hate the ice blocks) so I plan on making a pretty cover for it, but our Penelope LOVES it. We put a mattress inside it & that’s where she sleeps!
Brooke commented on Nov 19 10 at 3:36 pmThe Ikea wooden toy train sets are awesome. They cost about $10 and when you buy 3 or 4 sets, you can make a pretty serious train route around your living room.
Madge commented on Nov 19 10 at 7:07 pmThe spinning egg chair! All kids love it and kids with sensory issues can’t get enough.
Lauren commented on Nov 19 10 at 8:32 pmThe easel! For $20 it is simple, classic and has held up well with my 3 kids for 4 years!!
KatieK commented on Nov 19 10 at 9:29 pmThe little tent! Ii don’t know if they still have them, but they used to make these little tents and they were just $14. My son slept in it on his bed, played in it in the family room, and brought it to Grammy’s house. A great buy!
ashley commented on Nov 19 10 at 10:34 pmUm, the BEKVAM step stool?! One of the most useful kid items in our home. It’s two-tiered, so the older kids can stand on the lower step while the little ones pop up to the higher one, and it’s just the right height for the sink. Our kids never have an excuse not to wash their hands or help with the dishes!
Colleen commented on Nov 20 10 at 12:41 pmThe area rug with houses, trees and roads/race tracks on it. My nephews LOVE playing on it, either with toy cars and trucks or just sitting on it.
Melanie commented on Nov 21 10 at 8:00 pmI agree with the BEKVAM! Love it. my 2 year old sits on the bottom step and sits her snacks/meals on the top step. Brilliant!
aimee @ paging supermom commented on Nov 29 10 at 12:48 pmThe antilop high chair is simply the best. It’s so easy to wipe down… two kids later, our high chair looks brand new!
Marvi @FamilyWellFed commented on Apr 21 11 at 4:25 pmThe forsiktig stools are among our best purchases ever. Kiddos use them when they wake up in the morning till bedtime.
Courtney commented on Apr 21 11 at 4:58 pmWe have bought more than a little Ikea for our son, including a play table and stool a couple of weeks ago. But my favorite is the Poang chair (the adult size), which has made a really nice glider in his nursery and he now enjoys climbing on. They have a kid-size version, too, but he likes the big one enough that I don’t think we need it.
Liz commented on Jun 05 11 at 4:51 pmWe have those bibs – I love them! I like them more than any other bib we received as gifts. Also, we have the side table in the baby’s room as well. IKEA is great.
January commented on Jun 05 11 at 5:10 pmThe Kladd Prickar bib is the favorite in our house. We never really used bibs when he was little, but as soon as he was feeding himself these bibs were/are awesome! They are cheap and cover so much that it makes clean up super easy.
Jeanette commented on Jun 05 11 at 5:12 pmwe have that antilop high chair too! best twenty dollars I ever spent! So easy to keep clean and take apart for storage.
also I recommend the ladybug and flower nightlights. they are adorable and are perfect for our little girl who can’t sleep without a nightlight.
