Going Green With Baby Products

June 30, 2009 - 7:32am 209 reads 1 comments

There are many companies that have great products that appeal to the environmentally conscious parents. My idea of “going green” is a little different. I believe in recycling baby products. Here is a list of my favorite baby products to borrow, if you can, instead of buy.

5. The Baby Swing

This is a fantastic product to have IF your baby likes it. I had a friend who lent hers to me. One baby loved it, and the other two didn’t. Babies will only fit into the swing for a short period of time and most of them are bulky to store. With the exception of a small travel swing, borrow it if you can. You will be glad that you did.

4. ExerSaucer or Jumperoo

Again, a great product, but the really nice styles are almost $100. My son loved it until he began to crawl, and now I dust it once a week and trip over it in my living room. I am excited that I will be able to pass along this practically new model to a pregnant friend.

3. The Boppy

I loved my Boppy and it is a well-made product that holds up incredibly well. It was great for breastfeeding, as well as using as protection around a baby as he/she is learning to sit up.

i think your right about recycle your baby things i have a 18 month old son and he has grown so fast its like i had him yesterday he is so big that nothing fits him lol.... now he is about to hit 2 years old the end of the year and its time for big kids things i had went throught a lot of sneakesr and most of them he only wear them twice so i pass it on to my cousin who just recenly had a baby boy... and even lots of bibs and cloths that were in good condition... i also passed on a baby horse swing he didnt want it any more he felt to trap... so i belive that you should give things that you dont need or dont buy to many at once because they grow to quick thers many of people who are need in cloths for thre kids so its good to pass it on you be suprise how many people will appriciate it....
