My pages are still in the works but I've added a list of products on the "Products for Baby" page. If you happened to look within the last couple of days, know that I'm deleting the Leachco organic shopping cart cover from my recommended list. I ordered one online and, when I opened to package found that it smelled of chemicals and had that stiff coated feel to the fabric. I then noticed that there was a tag stating that it complied with California flammability requirements, which was a big red flag.
So, I did something that I'm finding one absolutely has to do in order to be a responsible consumer, I called the manufacturer. The customer service option led to one individual's voice mail and I left a message which was never returned. I've found in calling manufacturers that no response is not a good response. I plan to return the cover but, no worries, I found something better.
Before Sela was born I bought a bamboo cover for her car seat from Itzy Ritzy. It was pricey but I have loved it because, although her car seat was the infant car seat that tested lowest in the toxins tested by Healthy Stuff (which are not all the biggies), I still wanted something washable between her skin and the seat. I did a web search and found that they also have shopping cart covers and a quick email to them elicited a quick response stating that they use no chemicals on their products. I ordered a cart cover and a cover for her new convertible car seat. I know that not everyone could afford these particular products, indeed I wouldn't have been able to not too long ago, so if anyone knows of a healthy and more economical option (aside from making one) please post a comment.
