Ecobaby Organics

Recent comments

When my husband and I were buying a new bed, we decided to buy an organic cotton one. It wasn't much more expensive than conventional options.

When we were expecting, we explored organic options for the crib and bedding. The eco-friendly crib cost four times what most conventional ones did ($200 v. $800), and the mattress equation was even worse--$60 v. $300+). It seemed wrong to get organic for us and conventional for the baby with developing lungs, but the huge difference in prices for furniture with limited utility felt unethical--"if you really love your baby, you'll spend X times as much..."

Instead, we shopped BabiesrUs on a Saturday, along with everyone else in MN. While we found a $200 Italian solid-wood crib we liked, we would have to fight the Saturday crowds to order it, then wait weeks for delivery. We went to another Twin Cities baby store, Treasures Island, and got the exact same crib for the same price plus good customer service. We took it home that day and have never regretted the choice.
