Safe Baby Products Guide: Showers & Shopping
Welcome! This Safe Baby Products Guide is made to help you understand where chemicals of concern can lurk in products made for babies, and how to find safer choices.
We hope people will use this guide in several ways:
to find information about a particular product, when you just need one thing.
to get a general understanding of what to think about when you buy products, set up your own gift registry, or are helping a loved one with theirs. You can download our recommendations on each page to keep them for later.
to build an online gift registry using the tools created by BabyList.
To learn more about how to use the guide each of these ways, you can always click on the toolbar above.
