Quiet the riot - or at least sleep better yourself knowing you put your baby to sleep in a sustainable, all-hardwood crib with a safe finish. Our Motley Crue won’t bang heads with the health of your tot or the planet.The Benefits:
- No Poison-ous chems. Cribs made from particleboard and laminated wood typically use toxic glues and finishes that can release cancer-causing chems like formaldehyde.
- Surviving an onstage whack. Pricier, yes, but unlike cheaper cribs, solid hardwood will last for generations.
- No (eye)lining landfills. These companies reduce production waste too.
Personally Speaking:
Mama Bite Editor Alison liked her Pacific Rim crib for its solid construction, clean lines, and natural finish. When, at three months old, her daughter Roxane started to magically sleep through the night in it, she decided she loved it.
Wanna Try:
- Q Collection Junior Solare Crib - sustainably harvested American ash and bentwood crib with a water-based finish; Greenguard certified for indoor air quality - see photo ($1,220).
- DucDuc Alex Crib - modern, sustainably harvested hardwood cribs made in the United States; in 14 nontoxic color combos ($985).
- Pacific Rim Crib - made in Oregon from local, sustainably harvested western maple; hand-rubbed tung oil and beeswax finish ($720).

Bang For The Bite
If 10,000 Mama Biters choose an eco-crib instead of a conventional one for their babies, we’ll keep the weight of 4,000 Jon Bon Jovis in formaldehyde-tainted furniture out of production.
