Baby products
It’s true, babies need a lot of stuff! A baby is a whole new person who will need to be fed, who will need clothes, adding to the carbon footprint of the household. Bringing a baby into this world can feel like the opposite of being low-waste and trying to reduce our impact. However we do think it’s possible to raise a baby in the most sustainable way possible, trying to reduce waste to a minimum, switching to reusable alternatives and using products with natural ingredients.
A baby in the house means more household waste, more nappies, baby wipes and baby food containers, etc. But the good news is that there are now reusable or low-waste alternatives for almost all these products! The first thing to do is that as yourself before buying something: do we really need it? Tell the people around you: please offer less gifts, less plastic toys, less of everything! Your baby doesn’t need that many things to be happy actually. For necessary products, like nappies, swipes, ask yourself: is there a reusable, compostable or low-waste alternative?

Baby gear rental from local families
BabyQuip is a company that allows you to rent baby gear from local families, mainly in the US. You can rent short term, for example if you are travelling and want to rent all the baby gear at your destination, so you can travel light. You can also rent long term, because babies grow so fast, and some gear you buy today might need replacing in only a few months time. Instead of buying everything and adding to your carbon footprint and waste, BabyQuip allows you to rent clean and safe baby gear essentials wherever you are and have them delivered to your door. Choose from cribs, car seats, strollers, toys, and so much more. Travel light, or rent long term!
