Mothers Share Buying Habits of Childrens Bedroom Furniture

Just two months ago, a group of mothers from three generations (Gen Y, Gen X and Baby Boomer demographics) shared their buying habits with retailers and manufacturers on purchasing childrens bedroom furniture and baby products. This occurred at the fifth annual Kids Today conference in Bonita Springs Florida.

Author and entrepreneur Maria Bailey, an executive in the fields of publishing, marketing, and business development, was the keynote speaker at the conference and a moderator for the panel. Maria Bailey has worked for numerous companies, including Automation USA, AutoNation, Discovery Zone, The Miami Herald, Broward Community College, and McDonald's. Her experience as an executive and the mother of four young children led her to specialize in assisting mothers in balancing their home and work lives. Bailey explained the importance of marketing to mothers of different ages.

Even though there were some differences there were also many similarities. One baby boomer said she found information from other mothers quite useful. She tried shopping for childrens beds and other bedroom sets for her boys baby nursery at a baby boutique or a shop for kid furniture and found it was above her budget. She registered for designer baby bedding at one baby boutique but this particular parent found that shopping at a consignment shop for her boys bedroom furniture was the way to go.

A Gen Y mom used hand-me-down bedroom furniture, rather than shopping at a furniture store for her baby and put the rest of the items that she needed on her gift registry. The items she did not receive as baby gifts she purchased at Target and Kmart. She did however find a lot of her ideas (such as themes for luxury baby bedding) at a boutique. She said she would purchase only bedroom accessories, baby bedding, other items that she thought were original at a boutique or baby shops.

Although most of the parents claimed that they mostly shopped at discount stores, they admittedly would make more extravagant purchases like luxury baby bedding or hard-to-find toys at baby boutiques if there was something they really wanted for there kid. A Gen X mom talked about children strollers. She paid $300 for a stroller because she liked the features. Then a Gen Y mom said she paid about $200 for a hard-to-find toy that retails normally for about $50. She said she bought the toy not only because her son wanted it, but because of the educational value. Parents are willing to spend more money on educational toys.

All moms stressed importance on bedroom furniture that would grow with their children. One baby boomer mom said she was in the process of looking for a bed that would take her toddler through high school. A Gen X mom said she would try to redecorate while keeping in mind that she wanted the dcor and products to not be changed or updates until her daughter was at least 12.

I personally feel that this type of survey it tough to gaugenot only should they have to consider the age demographics but financial demographics as well.

I know that my friends and I are the same age but due to financial reasons we all have made very different choices on the bedroom sets, etc. we purchased for our kids. Take the changing table for instance. I chose one of those dressers with a built in changing table. When your child is older you flip the dresser over and it converts to a normal dresser top (which by the way I planned on using these dressers for a long while since I had purchased one of those convertible infant cribs).

My other friend decided to forego the changing table altogether, she would change her daughter directly on her crib mattress by using a waterproof disposable pad. While another friend bought an extremely fancy changing table and a bedroom set with armoires, hand carved dressers, etc.

I am sure someone like Brittney Spears would have very different buying habits than someone, the same age, but on a very modest income. So although I am sure the retailers and manufacturers were able to gather some useful information from this conference, hopefully they are considering all the demographics of the parents interviewed.

KidKraft Nantucket Table & 4 Primary Chairs KidKraft Nantucket Table & 4 Primary Chairs The Nantucket Collection Table and Four Chairs Set is a great place for coloring, boardgames and crafts. With clean, simple lines, the set includes 1 honey-colored table with wainscoting detail and 4 chairs finished in blue, red, honey and green. For children 3 to 8 years old. Measures 23.75" x 19.5" x 23.75" Customer Review: Cheap product I bought this product for my 3-year-old because it looked so cute online and because of the price. It's difficult to find a table with four chairs, rather than two. Initially I loved the product. It was easy to assemble and the colors looked great. Well, within a few weeks, the paint started chipping off all of the chairs except for the wood one. Soon after, the back of the green chair started to break apart risking a choking hazard, especially for my infant. And trust me, all we did was sit on those chairs - it's not like we threw them around or hammered things into them. I called KidKraft asking about touch-up paint and a new green back for the chair. They said they don't have paint but would be more than happy to send me a new back for all the colored chairs free of charge (it was still under the three-month warranty). I finally had the opportunity to replace the back of the chairs tonight and to my dismay, the holes for the screws from the new backs, didn't match the holes with the legs that I had. I decided to improvise and screw in two holes and not four so at least I have a back. Well, the hardware that I have didn't fit in the holes in the new backs (they didn't send me any hardware). So now I have three chairs with chipped paint, the green one is in the recycling bin since it's completely destroyed and the backs that they sent me are in a box in my garage. Needlesstosay, I'm very disappointed and upset about the quality of these chairs. Although they're cute for a week or two, it's not worth the price, hassle or stress. I don't recommend this product to anyone. Customer Review: KidKraft nantucket Table and 4 chairs We recently created a Rec room in our basement. The major reason was to creat aplace for the grandkids to play. We had a housefull over Thanksgiving and Christmas. We purchsed the above product before the holidays. It was easly to assembly with clear instructions and tools provided. The product is sturdy and attractive and very functional. The little ones fit comfortably on the chairs which are sturdy and do not tip. Crayon and marker markings clean easily. It is a handsome looking product and does not look trashy or cheap. It fits nicely into our room which has a desk workstation for my wife, couches and Home theatre area.

It performs exactly as advertised! We have our 32" Flat panel TV on it and it swivels effortlessly! We would highly recommend this product! Customer Review: Deceptive picture for a poor functioning product -- stay away I am so disappointed at this product that I feel compelled to write my first review on Amazon. First, the product does not work. It turns only with a lot of force exerted, and that is unloaded. This is certainly not rated for up to 75lb of load as claimed. Second, the picture of the product is extremely deceptive. The product is only the oval disk, and does NOT include the glass stand underneath. There is a disclaimer about the glass stand not being included, but that's INSIDE the box. Needless to say, I sent it back for refund. Didn't even want to risk a replacement.
