BabeeTenda Feeding Table — 

 We've owned a Babee Tenda Baby Safety Feeding Table for over 12 years. The Babee Tenda Baby Safety Feeding Table has taken enormous abuse from 2 strong boys, a very active little girl and countless relatives' kids and it still came out looking new.

Cleaning is easy. The table tray and sides are covered in formica so it cleans like my kitchen counter tops and is sanitary. The only things that can stain are the cushion and teething strips (but what doesn't stain with kool aid or spaghetti sauce) and those can be replaced for about $15, so even after 12 years the table can look new again.

I have found that Babee Tenda baby furniture can be ordered from baby safety classes or catalogs but, unfortunately not in stores. It would probably be way to expensive with a store mark up added to the price.

The seat can adjust to a reclined position for a newborn baby and has at least 12 other adjustments for older kids, so a large 4 year old can use it as easily as a newborn. There aren't any weight limits on the table since it is not plastic. The Babee Tenda Baby Safety Feeding Table replaced the infant seat, highchair, playpen, booster seats and walker because it replaces their uses. The table is only 24 inches wide which is the same as a highchair or a walker, so it takes up a lot less space than having to buy all those other products.  We can adjust the height 3 positions. Since it is made out of hardwood versus softwood or plastic, it is very tough.

The down side is they are expensive. The tables are almost $600 new and $300 for an old used table. I've watched bidding on Ebay start at $50 and in the last hour of bidding jump to $350 for a 5 year old table and the Babee Tenda converting crib is the same, $900 new and $600 used on Ebay.

The real kicker for me is Babee Tenda baby furniture has been around for over 70 years making the same furniture without a recall.  No other company has been able to make that claim.  When I first bought the Babee Tenda furniture I was a little scared being a first time parent, but now looking back I am very grateful that I did buy Babee Tenda baby furniture.  We love it and our kids love it.

Is there a website for replacement parts?

My concern with Babee Tenda (aka Baby Tenda) is their false advertising gimmicks. The U.S. District Court determined that the "Advisory Council on Child Safety" is a fictitious name the company created as their sponsor, and that the company outright lied to people that they were also sponsored by CPSC and NHTSA (see http://www.cpsc.gov/businfo/babytenda.pdf). They are also known for poor or "no" customer service when their product fails. I'm very grateful that we walked out of the seminar after one painful hour of listening to a sleazy sales pitch that plays on a expecting couples concern for the safety of their child. Besides, I didn't need the free gift: a crib sheet that only fits their mattress (please note that the thin, rough sheets they offer are the only ones that you can use because they make their mattress larger).
