"Once upon a time, finding stylish seating for tots seemed like a fairy-tale quest. With a few notable exceptions\u2014the Eames mini midcentury chair, for example\u2014the nursery had paltry options. &amp;quot;You couldn&amp;#039;t find decent kids&amp;#039; furniture up until the past five or so years, but now there are so many chic choices,&amp;quot; says interior decorator Delphine Krakoff. The reason? According to the Paris-born mother of three, a more design-conscious generation has spurred a baby boom in furnishings, resulting in myriad models to suit any taste.  When making your selection, decorator Jeffrey Bilhuber suggests avoiding overly soign\u00E9 or complicated pieces. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d rather see my child than the chair,&amp;quot; says the father of 21-month-old Christoph. Krakoff agrees and advises sticking to &amp;quot;proven shapes&amp;quot; such as an X-back or French-bistro chair. Practicality and safety are also paramount, which is why they recommend wide seats, sturdy frames, and durable finishes. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a wonderful moment when you see your son or daughter begin to use furniture properly and appreciate design,&amp;quot; Bilhuber remarks.
