Eco-Friendly Baby Registry

If you’re someone who shops with sustainability in mind and values products made from natural, eco-friendly or organic materials, or if you prioritize GREENGUARD Gold Certified products in your home, you’ll likely want to continue that trend after you become a parent. Luckily, the baby market is on your side—there are so many (amazing) green baby items to choose from when you’re building your registry.

From glass bottles and cloth diapers to plant-based skincare products and wooden toys, this sample registry features our favorite eco-friendly baby gear choices. (Need help narrowing down what else to put on your registry? The Babylist baby registry checklist lets you see what’s essential and nice to have in a variety of baby gear categories.)

It’s GREENGUARD Gold Certified and sustainably produced in Europe.
