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.

Lots of hardware to ensure proper performance. I didn't have a stud to ground to, so i had to use the moly's and they worked perfectly for my 22" ViewSonic.

No problems with my cat jumping on it or having enough room to stretch out on sunny days. Customer Review: Kitty Approved I was concerned at first about the brace legs - the image here on Amazon shows two very basic, essentially square legs - not exactly elegant. The item that came actually has curved legs, that come to a curl next to the wall: it's a MUCH nicer look. The cover is a very light ivory/neutral color that would do fine in almost any room (matches our landlord white walls almost perfectly), and it's very very soft. My husband did the installation, but he said it was very easy, and the adhesive and velcro are holding fine (up for a day so far, and our window ledges are probably 3-4 inches deep). Our cat, admittedely, isn't very big, but she -jumps- on and off of it ... not exactly gentle. She seems to like it - it's in a window that she used to jump into all the time and now she can stretch out and enjoy it without falling off the window sil. Everyone's happy, though the dining table chair that used to be her nap locale of choice is feeling a bit neglected!

Coleman Cot Overnighter Customer Review: Variable in quality - but great if you get a good one I just purchased two of these overnighter beds for my husband and son to use when camping. One of them was fine - it stayed set up and was completely quiet. It was easy to set up, easy to blow up the air mattress, and the detachable cover was nice for holding the air mattress onto the cot. I liked this style of bed with the rounded leg supports rather than the individual legs which I was concerned would damage the floor of the tent. The other one had problems. I think the fabric was stretched too tight. It didn't want to stay opened up - it tended to want to lift up a little in the middle hinge. And it was NOISY! It was particularly noticable when compared to the first one. If you stayed completely still it was fine, but if you turn over or move around while sleeping, it would be really annoying! I've ordered two more, and will keep the best one and return the defective ones. I'm definitely anxious to get at least two good ones, because we are looking forward to getting up off the floor and getting some much-needed storage space under our bed. Customer Review: Comfortable and Easy We purchased more than one type of cot so we could see which was easiest. We have a B & B. This one is stable, easy to store, and you can blow it up without a pump if you need to. It is easy to deflate and restore. Good deal for the price.
