Strollers • UPPAbaby
UPPAbaby Strollers and Accessories
Strollers themselves are not the greenest of childhood accoutrements, but there are stroller makers who are making at least some effort to reduce their footprint. This company has recycling and charitable programs, and encourages employees to "go green", with additional company goals for the future. The "Vista" stroller above left can be used with an infant car seat (with adapter), and will hold a child up to 40lbs. The "Bubble" shown above right is a great car seat accessory. It protects your baby from the elements while still giving you easy access, and it works with almost all seats. UPPAbaby makes sturdy products that should last you through a few kids, and you can protect your investment with their great travel stroller totes too.

Accessories • Burp Armor Burp Cloths
Burp Armor Burp Cloths
3 layers of absorbency, with a fleece face and a bottom side of corduroy for shoulder grip. Made of organic and sustainable fabrics, with recyclable packaging, and soy-based inks. The company even pre-washes each burp cloth in fragrance-free earth and baby friendly soap. These burp cloths are more stylish, but just as absorbent, as the cloth diaper style and they stay put amazingly well with the specially designed shape and smart corduroy lining.

Feeding • LocalHarvest.com for Local Food
LocalHarvest.org, Resource for Finding Local Food!
There are almost two million farms in the USA. About 80% of those are small farms, and a large percentage are family owned. Getting food directly from the farmer means it is fresher and picked ripe. Let your local farmers know what kind of growing practices you support, like organic, biodynamic, etc. Some farms already grow organically, but haven't gone through a certification process because of expense or paperwork. Use www.LocalHarvest.org to find Farms, CSA's (Community Supported Agriculture), Farm Markets, and locally sourcing Restaurants and Grocery Stores and support your local farm economy.

Bath & Body • Druide Eco Certified Body Care
Druide Eco-Certified Organic Body Care for the Whole Family
One of the largest organic product lines I have ever seen in North America, this company is located in Canada, and has EcoCert organic certification for its entire range of products. They have a baby care line, with a great baby oil spray. Some of the baby line contains lavender, so just check the ingredients list if you are looking to avoid it. For mom's tired feet or aching muscles, try one of the massage creams the company makes. They have a beautiful texture, are not greasy and not dry and are extremely easy to handle.

Cleaning & Laundry • JR Watkins Home Care Products & Organic Spices
JR Watkins Home Care Products & Organic Spices!
This company has been making products naturally since 1868. If you like all-purpose wipes, and what busy mom doesn't, you can feel good about using these, since they are biodegradable, even flushable and safe for septic systems! The laundry detergent is great for the whole family, it is even safe for babies. The tub and tile cleaner is really great if you have a little bather in the house, since it won't irritate sensitive skin, and the toilet bowl cleaner is one of the least acidic or caustic on the market, making it safe for septic systems too.
Check out the company's full line of organic spices and extracts too.

Toys • ImagiPLAY
Imagiplay Sustainable Wood Toys
ImagiPLAY wooden toys are great for imaginative and creative play. The puzzle blocks are a great learning toy for a toddler when they match the animal blocks, or they can use their imagination to create their own animal combinations. The rocketship play set is perfect for an overnight trip to the grandparents since the rocketship is its own zipper tote and all the pieces fit inside. There are many other play sets, puzzle sets and wonderful wooden baby rattles. Made from rubberwood, at the end of its rubber producing life, (which would otherwise be burned) bamboo, and some child safe, formaldehyde-free MDF. These toys are made in various parts of Asia, which the company claims reduces the distance the raw materials have to travel to reach the factories, and they inspect the factories for worker conditions and pay fair wages.

Clothes • PrAna Prenatal "Luna" Yoga Top
PrAna Prenatal "Luna" Yoga Top
If you are taking Prenatal Yoga, or plan to, finding a stylish Yoga outfit can prove to be a challenge, especially an "eco-friendly" one. Right now, my favorite option is this Luna top from PrAna. There is a built in shelf bra (key!) and lots of stretch and ample coverage over the belly. There are 3 colors available in the top and 2 colors in the matching pants. PrAna as a company is using organic materials whenever possible and supports renewable energy projects, like their own Natural Power Initiative.

Sunscreen • Lavera Baby Sun Spray
Lavera Baby Sun Spray Neutral & Kids Plant-Green Sun Spray
The Baby Neutral sunscreen doesn't contain "essential oils", which can irritate some of us with sensitive skin, but it still offers broad spectrum protection with coated Titanium Dioxide. A large portion of the ingredients are organic. When you have to use sunscreen rather than shade, I think this is one of the better ones out there. The Kids Plant-Green Sun Spray has a neat ingredient that is green when applied (so you can see where you might have missed) and then it disappears after a few minutes. Both have great texture, not thick and sticky.
