Eco-Friendly Must-Haves for New Moms

by Lolita Carrico

In honor of Earth Day, we wanted to showcase some of the best picks that help new moms while also helping the environment. So, we turned to Melissa Gould & Ellie Miller of The Baby Planners™, a Los Angeles-based baby concierge and consulting service that caters to the needs of expectant parents nationwide. Their clientele includes busy expecting celebrities like Marissa Jaret Winokur and Mary Lynn Rajskub who have specifically requested eco-friendly options for their arriving bundles.

Here's a look at some of their favorite finds:

Orbit

Orbit Stroller - the first baby gear company to get rid of all the harmful chemicals and materials as well as the first to seek alternative green methods of production. Ellie says, "Gotta love that you can recycle the stroller!"
