"    Lately, I&amp;#039;ve been noticing a growing trend in consumer products for little tykes: Items that grow with your child. These products are gaining favor because of their increased longevity and are especially welcome when an item like a desk or stroller can set you back a bundle. Here&amp;#039;s a list of some great equipment that your child won&amp;#039;t outgrow in what seems like a nanosecond.  Furniture. Posture in Style is a line of furniture (desks, storage units, chairs, etc.) that not only grows with your child, but also promotes good posture. It expands in three directions: height, width, and depth. And as kids&amp;#039; tastes and needs change, you can change the colors or convert the desk to a computer workstation by adding a PC deck.  Strollers. Strollers are a major expense so one that lasts through the toddler years is definitely a great buy. The Bugaboo Bee ($600) fits this bill as it&amp;#039;s suitable from birth until a child weighs 37.5 lbs (about 3 to 4 years old). With an adjustable handlebar and a seat that can rotate 180 degrees, it&amp;#039;s very adaptable to the parent&amp;#039;s need as well as the child&amp;#039;s. If you need help picking out a stroller, check out the recent Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) review on our website.  High Chairs. The Foundations&amp;#039; Transitions High Chair ($130) converts from a high chair to a toddler table with chair. The manufacturer claims you can easily remove the chair from the base by pressing one button, but I haven&amp;#039;t tried it out yet so I can&amp;#039;t vouch for its ease of use. The Fisher-Price EZ Bundle ($150) is a 4-in-1 (yes, 4!) system that changes from newborn seat, to infant swing, to high chair, to toddler seat. And the Bloom Baby Fresco($400) 3-1, evolves from a resting seat, to a feeding seat and table, to a play chair.  Beds. Stokke is a company that really dedicates itself to making versatile products. ItsSleepi starts out as a small bassinet ($40), then expands to a crib, then to a toddler bed, and finally to a junior bed. Get a good night&amp;#039;s sleep knowing you won&amp;#039;t have to purchase a new bed for your little darling for 10 years! The matching changing table converts into a bookshelf or desk.  Toys. The Fisher Price Grow-to-Pro Basketball ($50) has a hoop height that adjusts from 3 to 6 feet high. In the company&amp;#039;s Grow-with-your-Child collection, there&amp;#039;s also golf, pogo stick, soccer, and baseball equipment, designed to last for about five years of development. If your child is less Lebron James and more Picasso, the Grow-with-Me Art Easel ($15) adjust from 38- to 51-inches high.  Bikes and Trikes. As children grow, so does their physical coordination. That&amp;#039;s why several bikes and trikes on the market help them transition from fumbling toddlers to easy-riding children. Products like the Alex Toys Ready Set Go Trike ($218) or the Smart Trike ($110) let parents start off by pushing and steering, then allow kids to roll with parental control (with clutch), and finally give kids freedom to pedal on their own (clutch released). Other similar products, like the Radio Flyer Grow &amp;#039;N Go Bike ($50), are designed to expand as your child grows and have training wheels to help them start. Purchasing kid&amp;#039;s products not only eats into your budget, it takes up a lot of time. I think manufacturers are really starting to think about consumers and find real solutions to improve their lives. If you can find a product that&amp;#039;s affordable, does what it&amp;#039;s supposed to well, and lasts through multiple stages of your child&amp;#039;s development, why wouldn&amp;#039;t you love it?  Another tip: Look for products with multiple functionality---I&amp;#039;ll give you advice on them in a future post!  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
