Eco-friendly registries?

ellajune2012

It's a bit early for me to be thinking about this, but I know once we tell people they're going to start asking, so I was wondering what everyone here did about registries, if they had any. What are the best places to put together a list of eco-friendly baby products? Obviously I know things like a car seat, etc... will probably have to be the standard stuff, but I'd love to at least *try* to get some furniture/products that are a bit more natural.

You could use Amazon if you download their Add to Amazon Wishlist button.  That would let you add items to one registry from all over the internet, even Etsy.  HTH

Oooh, I didn't know you could do that. That's a neat idea. I love Etsy!

My friend used the Amazon registry feature so she could add stuff from other sites, but she said people (particularly the ones older than we are) were nervous about leaving the Amazon site to make purchases.  For that reason, I won't register that way.  I think I'm going to go with a standard BRU and one at Jillians Drawers for all the cloth diapers, some wood toys, natural items, etc.

We are using www.babyearth.com.

There is a mix of ecofriendly and traditional items. We also like the fact that our money is going to an independent store and not a corporation.

Thanks all!

To the point about Amazon, I was definitely going to do two different places; and hoping one could be a "real" store just because there are some older people on my husband's side who probably don't want to get things online. But it's great to see I have options. Jillian's Drawers looks like a great site! Will check out babyearth too.
