Eco-Friendly Baby Items that Parents Love!

By Kim Proulx

Families today want to make a positive impact on our planet. Eco-friendly products are popping up all over the globe to help keep us safe and make our futures brighter. Organic, eco-friendly, and natural labels on products we buy all meet different needs. Some eco-friendly items are made of wood products that are harvested from controlled forests where certain types of trees are planted for their quick re-growth. Others use non-toxic materials when manufacturing items, and only use ingredients that keep the consumer safe. Some products are made from products that are naturally organic such as wool and organic cotton. When it comes to our babies, getting the safest and finest products is very important. Here is a fantastic list of the best for your baby in eco-friendly items from the simplest baby gear to super functional cribs.

Cribs

The eco-friendly options available in cribs have reached new heights in the past few years. Non-hazardous and lead-free finishes are used on all of the cribs we offer. These non-toxic finishes will keep your baby safe if he chews on the wood or if the coating chips. There are a few brands that even go far and beyond today's safety requirements to make sure that their products are made of entirely eco-friendly materials down to the way the wood was harvested from the forest. You can find these earth saving cribs in our eco-friendly section. These all natural cribs are made by the following brands: Spot on Square, Oeuf and Stokke. But remember, all of our cribs are absolutely safe for your precious child.

For handy space savers, mini cribs are the perfect solution for smaller nurseries. These cribs offer a more environmentally friendly alternative to portable cribs and play sets that are utilized for travel, or a sleeping area set up at a grandparent's home. This petite baby bed style saves on supplies and is made from natural materials as well.

Nursery Accessories

Just about every accessory you need for your baby is offered in an eco-friendly design. All organic and biodegradable mattresses are perfect for recycling and to keep your baby's environment totally clean. If allergies are a concern, sleeping on organic sheets, mattress pad, and an organic mattress will give your child complete care and comfort. Pure fabric with natural fireproof wool or organic cotton materials woven in, wraps your little one in a safe and clean space.

Storage is an important part of your baby's nursery! You can find exactly what you need for ultimate organization made from natural materials, and with funky and stylish designs. Spot on Square bases their entire business on creating children's furnishings and accessories that are earth friendly. Combining comfort, design, and top quality, companies like Spot on Square make it their quest to eliminate risks to health and the environment.

Baby Gear

Stokke's all wood highchairs are a natural option with fun modern colors and styles. Just like cribs, these chairs are designed to grow with baby. Not just made for mealtimes, these handy highchairs can be used as stepstools to help parents around in the kitchen when the time is right. Finding new purposes for pieces you no longer use in their original function helps you save money and is a fantastic form of recycling. These eco-friendly options are also very easy to clean with soap and water. This saves parents from having to use harsh chemical cleaners that aren't biodegradable and could be harmful to baby when left on the chair's surface.

Embracing a greener lifestyle and creating an eco-friendly nursery gives your little one the gift of improving her quality of life and health. It also benefits us all to keep everything growing and protect biodiversity near and far. Your child will thank you later when she discovers it truly is a small world after all!
