Going green isn't just for granola types. More parents are thinking eco-friendly when it comes to products and gear for their little ones.

"We're actually seeing quite an increase in parents coming in specifically looking for organic or eco-friendly products," says Michelle Meyers, manager of Lone Star Baby and Kids in Frisco.

And while they like the fact that they're helping Mother Nature, they're more concerned with helping their babies.

"Anything that's touching their child, they want it to be organic and safe. We see it across the board – diapers, sheets, swaddlers, changing pads, towels – really anything that's coming in contact with their child," she says.

Here are a few places in your baby's world where you can help save the planet.

Romina Baby Furniture

Ms. Meyers says customers at Lone Star Baby and Kids like the fact that Romina's line is made with organic beeswax and nontoxic finishes. Plus, she says, "They also practice a plant-harvesting program. So for every tree they cut down, they plant another."

Cribs range from $800 to $1,200. Lone Star Baby and Kids www.shoplonestarbaby.com. See http://rominakidsfurniture.com to find other dealers

gDiapers

Concerned for the environment but not quite ready for cloth? Biodegradable diaper inserts such as gDiapers offer a compromise. You get a few washable, cotton outer pants and use the inserts to catch the baby's business. Then you flush the insert, keep the pants and feel a little less guilty about tossing out disposable diapers.

Diapers Starter Kit (two "little g" pants, 10 flushable refills and a user guide) $26.99 www.gdiapers.com

Fresh Baby

The "So Easy Baby Food Kit" includes freezer trays, a cookbook and a DVD to help you make baby food in 30 minutes a week. The folks at Fresh Baby say this system causes less waste and provides healthier food. $37.95 www.freshbaby.com
