Frequently Asked Questions
What should I look for when buying non-toxic baby gear?
1. Flame retardant foams 2. Fabric treatments (PFAS) 3. Foam off-gassing
What ingredients should I avoid in baby gear?
Strong chemical smell, stain-resistant claims, uncertified foam
How do I care for non-toxic baby gear?
Air out new car seats and strollers outdoors or in a garage for several days before use. Remove and wash fabric covers before first use. Check recall lists at CPSC.gov. Used car seats are not recommended due to expiration dates and unknown crash history.
What greenwashing should I watch for with baby gear?
"Non-toxic" car seats still must meet flame resistance standards — the difference is HOW they achieve it (inherently fire-resistant fabrics vs. chemical flame retardants). "Organic" baby gear is rare because of safety regulations.
