With two molded-polyethylene seats mounted within a heavy-duty wood-laminate table with high-impact molding, you now have the space for mealtime, crafts, and any other activities that you may need to keep your toddlers busy and happy. Each seat features sturdy safety belts, and can be easily removed when the time comes for them to be cleaned.

Both the seats and tabletops are available in your choice of colors. These seats are recommended for children ages 5 to 24 months. About Toddler Tables Almost 30 years ago, Toddler Tables founder and church minister Glenn Holland got to work in his garage to fix a problem that he saw every Sunday. He noticed that parents with young children spent more time holding their children than they did being involved in the congregation. With an idea in mind, he set out using the best materials and production methods available to help care for the children and assist the parents in his congregation. Holland’s hard work paid off when he developed the first Toddler Table. With the seat mounted into the top of the table, he was able to provide caregivers with more flexibility in their jobs, and gave the children a safe and comfortable way to interact with other children. Before long, Holland’s new product began making waves in the child care industry, and what was once being built in a garage is now produced in the Toddler Tables manufacturing facility in Raleigh, North Carolina. Toddler Tables has become a symbol of commitment to the child care industry, and even though they’ve grown beyond Holland’s garage, their attention to safety and quality are still available to every preschool, Sunday school, and daycare that cares just as much about
