Top Picks for the Eco-Friendly Parent
Jump to Section
Protect our planet by making small changes to your lifestyle because every small change will eventually make a big impact.
Below we’ve outlined a handful of eco-friendly products that are leading the way in conscious consumerism. Into it? Read on for more!
Eco-Friendly Strollers
As time goes by, more and more stroller companies are producing products with our planet in mind.
One of our favourite products is the Bumbleride Indie 2024, which features durable recycled fabric and air-filled tires, perfect for any adventure you had in mind. The Bumbleride Era - Reversible Stroller 2024 is another excellent choice for eco-conscious parents. The textiles, aluminum, and plastics that are used to make Bumbleride products are carefully chosen for durability, safety, and function, but also for their environmental impact. Bumbleride fabrics are made from 100% recycled PET (which is post-consumer water bottles, rPET, polyethylene terephthalate).
We also love Baby Jogger's Eco Collection, which contains Tencel fibers with ecosoft technology. You can learn more about this collection, here.

Change Pads for Change
The Bamboo Contoured Change Pad from Kushies.
This eco-friendly change pad is made of soy-bio based polyurethane foam which offers firm comfort and resilience. The top is both breathable and soft as it is made of viscose from bamboo. The bottom of this change pad is waterproof and phthalate free. We also love that it's made in Canada!
Pacifiers That Don't Suck
Hevea is a company that offers eco-friendly & non-toxic natural rubber pacifiers, teethers, and bath toys.
Hevea pacifiers are made from 100% natural rubber and are vegan certified and completely free from plastic, silicone, BPA, PVC, and phthalates. Additionally, they use colour pigments that are also natural.
We love that these pacifiers are 100% biodegradable and compostable (you can literally throw them away with the food waste). We also appreciate that they come in is a biodegradable FSC certified box with Earth First window, made from plants.
Cloth Diapers
Reusable diapers help to slow the growth of our landfills, yay for less waste!
Cloth diapering is having its moment and we aren't mad about it—neither is Mother Earth. Companies like Kanga Care, bumGenius, AppleCheeks, and GroVia are the ultimate in form and function, combining effective leak control with cute designs.
