Italian term or phrase: prima e seconda infanzia
si tratta di mobili per bambini.
io metterei "early and late childhood" ma trovo anche babyhood and infancy; forse i primi piu`usati in accezione psicopedagogica ma per prodotti?
ecco lo stralcio:

Although early and late childhood as you propose is valid too.

infancy through early school age


Explanation:
from http://www.gargione.it/nuovaps.htm:

PRIMA INFANZIA

Inizia a zero anni e finisce ad uno o due anni, a secondo dei casi, cioè quando il bambino inizia a parlare.

SECONDA INFANZIA

Intorno ai due anni i bambini lasciano quella che è chiamata la prima infanzia per entrare nella seconda infanzia, che costituisce il preludio della fanciullezza. Questo stadio comincia, praticamente, quando il bambino è in grado, anche se con molte incertezze, di parlare, e finisce più o meno all'età di 5 - 6 anni, quando ormai possiede un linguaggio bene articolato.


In English these stages would correspond to the infant, toddler, preschool and early school years. In translating "prima e seconda infanzia" you could say "infancy through early school age", or simply "age 0-6 years."

In marketing products (eg. toys and games) generally they use age (e.g. 0-12 months, 3-5 years, 6 years and up, etc.) At least this is the convention in the US. Check out eToys and Toys\"R\"Us websites:

babies and children of all ages


Explanation:
as we're talking marketing here I'd go for babies rather than infants.Babies and toddlers if the chilren are 2-3 years old, and pre-school chilren if under 5 years old.
