#6 - Soft Close and Anti-Slam
Customizable 6-Door Tatami Storage Beds
Nobody likes loud bangs in the house, moreover fingers getting slammed on drawers or doors. Being furniture experts, we foresaw that it would be an issue with our lift up panels on the tatami bed, so we added a soft close hydraulic mechanism that would solve this problem! This is also a prominent feature in most of our solid wood furniture, from nightstands to chests of drawers and console tables. A mark of premium furniture that can't be missed.
We also have other tatami bed configurations that mix drawers and lift up panels, or you can customize your own. Visit our Furniture, Art & Baby Megastore @ 25 Tagore to view all the available designs!
#7 - Anti-Chip Hardwood Cots
Cheeky Bon Bon Clover Convertible Cot
Picket&Rail Baby&Kids strongly takes the stance against pine wood, which is a softwood variant, used for baby cots. Pine is a low density wood, which means its porous nature readily absorbs moisture in the environment and retains it, leading to mould and bacteria growth. The last thing you need is to deal with rotting wood!
Our baby cots are all crafted from solid rubber wood, a durable hardwood, and is environmentally friendly. Rest assured that as Singapore's No. 1 Solid Wood Retailer, we take wood quality for baby furniture very seriously.
#8 - Cordless Blinds, Safe For Children
Winus Korean Antibacterial Cordless Blinds
You don't have to give up on aesthetics once you have a little one in the house. Parents opt for curtains because they're without cords, making them the safer choice albeit a dirtier one. Our Korean blinds, Winus, overcomes this by offering a cordless adjusting option, which only consists of a beaded string that you can pull to the height you desire. Using patented technology, the blinds have a UV-protection coating to protect your interiors and skin alongside antibacterial effects. So neat!
#9 - Soften The Hard Floor
Modern Designer Carpets and Rugs
The ground is the safest place, but extra padding is needed when your little one gets rowdy with their toys. A carpet can do just the trick - it softens the floor, the material feels silky, and highly stain resistant. Instead of purchasing the unsustainable plastic foam floor tiles, an eco-friendly carpet would suffice.
Our carpets have silk threads interlaced with high-resilience grade polyester to ensure long lasting use while being easy to maintain. It's fire rated and great for pets and kids at home.

#10 - Healthier And Better Than Paraffin
Paraffin wax candles are a cheap and convenient aromatherapy choice, but give it a second thought when you have children and elderly around. It releases more soot and toxins as it is a distilled product of petroleum. There are many healthier alternatives to scented candles, and soy is the most popular so far because of its slow burn, low melting point, and plant based origin.
A&B Home is America's favourite home decor brand and 100% of their candles are made from soy wax, sourced from American farmers. The scents are certified for safe use and long lasting aroma. In unique jar designs and accents, select from a curated range of scents today!
#11 - Rear-facing Baby Car Seat
Riding rear-facing car seats have big safety advantages that parents should strongly consider. It reduces spinal cord stretch of their soft bones in a crash by supporting the child's head. Your child's chance of being injured is reduced because it absorbs some of the shock of the crash. As recommended by American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), your infant should sit in these until they reach the seat's limit (height and weight).
#12 - Prevent SIDS Easily
Cheeky Bon Bon Multicare II Baby Mattress
Did you know that Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) causes 90.1 deaths per 100,000 live births in the US? It's more common than we think. You can skimp on some things, but baby cots and mattresses are not one of those. Purchasing it from a popular and trusted brand can reduce your worries in the long run.
Cheeky Bon Bon is Singapore's favourite bedding brand since 1993. The Multicare II mattress is made specifically to prevent suffocation while your baby is sleeping or playing. Layered foams provides soft cushioning that does not sink. It has two reversible sides: latex foam top which is firmer and cooler, best for newborns and hot days; memory foam bottom is softer and warmer for cooler days, when your baby has strength in their neck (around one and half age mark).
