Green Baby- Part 2

We bought our car seat yesterday! Toys R Us was having a fabulous sale on some baby products so we picked up our Graco Snugride for a great price. How is all that plastic and vinyl green, you may ask? Excellent question...

In researching car seats, I came across the site HealthyCar.org This site ranks cars and car seats on how much of certain harmful chemicals they contain. Turns out that our car seat is ranked as best in its class for toxic chemical levels!

Here's our seat
In keeping with the theme of the blog...here's the bear modeling a fabulous WAHM cloth dipe

Green Baby- Part 1

Chris & I decided quite a while ago (before Baby Dail was even on the way) that we would be using cloth diapers. We like not being a "disposable" household, so we've done things like stop using paper towel and paper napkins. It seemed only natural to us that we wouldn't use disposable diapers or wipes either. Not to mention all the nasty chemicals that are present in disposable diapers.

So I thought I'd show you all our cloth diaper stash:D

These are our Newborn size diapers. Most of these diapers and covers are used (another way that we're saving money) and all were purchased from DiaperSwappers
