I have a 5yr old a 15mo old. They have a Step 2 table and chair set that's still going strong after 4 years. But it's an old design and the chairs tip easily. The table is getting a little worn looking. And I am looking to replace it. It is kept in the kitchen, but gets scooted all over the house.
Should I go with a wooden table/chair set or a plastic one? What do you recommend, and which table/chair set has worked for your kids?
Our current table gets used every single day for eating, art projects, drawing, playdo playing, etc. So it needs to be durable. My 5 year old LOVES this table, and I don't want to get something that would be too small for her. The 15mo I am sure will start using it more closer to 18-24mo old. But I would like something that is not too big for her either.
We also have a Nilo table that I am considering getting chairs for. But I am hesitant to make this the "everything" table because it's on an Asian rug in my living room - and we really can't put it anywhere else. So I am afraid of stuff spilling. Though I guess I can always put some sort of mat down underneath it.
If I just got chairs for the Nilo table - which chairs should I get?? The chairs that come with the Nilo table are stools. I am not sure how those would work with a child younger than 2years old.
