[quote=Anonymous]I don't think you are crazy at all! The chemicals they are using in the items you mentioned are the same toxic chemicals that were banned from children's clothing in the 1970's due to its toxicity. Here are some recommendations: Buy these on craigslist to save money

1. Baby bjorn travel crin (instead of a pack and play...al pack and plays are treated0
2. Baby bjorn bouncer (they have organic but their regular are not treated)
3. Swings are tough...I am looking into the Summer Infant natural one as I heard it is not treated but doubt that is the case
4. G Diapers hybrid diapers. They have a disposable insert and a cloth outside. They are biodegradable and no chlorine. Or use Earth's Best but these aren't great. The ones you have do have chlorine. Seventh generation actually DYES THEIR DIAPERS BROWN to give the appearance of more eco-friendly....I find it misleading and wrong. 
5. The high chair just avoid the plastic ones with the padding. Buy a used wood one
6. Splurge on the organic cotton covered WOOL nursing pillow! The baby will spend TONS of time on this! Do not be fooled by "organic" by Sealy, Boppy, etc...they are organic cotton covers coated in flame retardant
Hope this helps!
5. We have a lost of all the other recommended items on our site http://www.organicbabyuniversity.com[/quote]
