Super Sofa

Credit: Jonny Valiant

A kid-proof sofa is possible if you choose wisely. Select a model with dark-colored machine washable slipcovers. If slipcovers aren't an option, choose dark, spill-resistant upholstery, like microfiber or polyester. Cushions you can flip mean you can have a "good" side for guests and a "kid and pet" side for day-to-day use.
