I think one of the reasons this post is not getting many replies is just the nature of the question. Children's furniture by nature is not custom made, at least not from a business standpoint. It makes little sense to go all out and make beautiful furniture for children since they are so hard on furniture and outgrow it so quickly.
Most of the people that do make high end children's furniture do so because its for their children or Grandchildren. Its special to them and thus destined to be an heirloom.
At the same time I think Tod has a very valiant point. No matter where you live, or the laws in your area, people are leery of building children's furniture as the requirements are quite stringent. No woodworker would want to build a project that ends up hurting a child, at least no woodworker on a forum that begins with
www.familywoodworking.com.
My Train Cradle is a great example of form outdoing function. Its fairly safe I admit, but I made two mistakes on it I will NEVER make again on children's furniture. The first it the sharp edges. I eased many edges, but not ALL of them. On the ones I felt were unlikely to see little hands, I quickly found out Alyson can find them. She has gotten a splinter once from one such edge.
The other is the rocker design. Its shortened to keep it from obstructing the look of the train cradle. But it sticks out just past the car body of the train. She has tripped on it several times. It should be shortened by a few inches to keep it from tripping up a child who is just learning balance.
Luckily this is my own design and for my own child. I shutter to think what would happen if I sold this and had a customer complain about these two deficient areas. I'm just saying, be extra cautious with children's furniture, especially with unique designs like I have suggested and displayed here.
