Sitting Pretty

You’ve got your mod crib and bouncy chair, but are you ready for the toddler years and beyond?

By Gina Bazer

 

You’ve got your mod crib and bouncy chair, but are you ready for the toddler years and beyond? Ligne Roset is making sure your devastatingly modern infant doesn’t miss a beat when it comes to his development in the design department. The French company just issued its popular foam Togo chair in pint sizes: the Baby Togo ($645) for ages two to four and the Mini Togo ($880) for ages five to 12. After that, the little rascal is allowed on your Togo. Maybe. Ligne Roset, 440 N. Wells St., 312-222-9300.
