We asked some eco-friendly enthusiasts which products they would recommend for a day out with the little ones. Here’s what they had to say…
A day out with baby means thinking ahead to be sure to pack all of the necessities to keep everyone happy, safe, and healthy. With a variety of eco-friendly baby products on the market, your baby can be safe from the elements outside and the materials in everything from food to pushchairs to blankets.
For Parents
To stay organized and keep everything needed for baby close at hand, consider the weekender bag from Petunia Pickle Bottom. Earth friendly and made of organic material, complete with a removable changing pad, this bag includes water-resistant lining for accidental spills, bottle pockets, and both interior and exterior pockets for convenience.
For a lightweight, well-built pushchair that keeps baby free from PVC and other toxic materials, consider the Kinderwagen by Naturkind. In a variety of colors and styles, this pushchair packs up small and maneuvers easily for a day out with baby.
Naturkind makes a variety of products for keeping baby comfortable in travel. For smaller babies, try out the carry cot, made of organic material. Use it as a footbag after 6 months up to age 2.
Or, try Naturkind’s pram. It includes a spacious basket for baby to sleep and can convert into the pushchair as baby gets older.
