Buying healthier, safer, more natural products is very important to me know and is worth the extra money. I think not only about my son's health, but also of the future planet that he will be inheriting. I've always been a recycling, composting vegetarian, but have really stepped it up after finding out I was pregnant. Now that my son is 7 months old, I am happy to be living in a house of cloth diapers, natural cleaning products, organic baby foods, and eco-friendly baby products. I would pay up to 1/3 more for greener items, particularly those that come in contact with my son's skin and are ingested (food). I'd love to see some California Baby toiletries or other natural baby bath stuff. It's hard to find where I live. Thank you for your commitment to the health and longevity of our environment!

Of all the trends in products, I think this makes more sense than most. With everything in life, however, I think it's good in moderation. Being organic, just for the sake of marketing is a no no for me. Products that DO get me to pay more for the organic label are: 1) BPA-free products where food or drinks to be ingested are touching the plastics (i.e., bottles, sippy cups, etc...) 2) Dye and chemical free materials where my baby will touch them with his/her bare skin (i.e., swaddle blankets, cloth daipers, etc...) 3) Where being organically made makes the production of the product more socially and environmentally responsible (i.e., renewable raw materials) My wife and I are looking for baby carriers and love the fact that we now have the option to choose an organic model. Additionally, some manufacturers (such as Beco) also have socially responsible production processes that really make me proud to own and buy their products. In summary, I love organic products if it makes a difference in our kids' health or helps make the world a better place.
