Toys R Us Natural line is Made in China

Toys R Us is heavily advertising their Natural Toys line that includes alphabet blocks, a toy car and more. Please know that while the toys are made of natural wood, the entire line is made in China. Their own website says that the toys are decorated with a unique wood-burning technique and are ecofriendly and chemical free. You'll have to decide whether or not you trust them to manufacture to standards that meet your family's needs. We cannot comfortably recommend these toys at this time.

GBaby by Geomag- Made in Switzerland

We're so happy to be adding a new Geomag product to our recommended list! Geomag is already on our Brands You Can Trust list for their fun and interesting toys for older kids. Now, Geomag has a new line just for babies and toddlers. The bright colors and simple shapes will delight your child and you'll know you've given them an exciting and safe toy. The entire G Baby line is BPA free and bath and dishwasher safe. G Baby is available through Amazon, Fat Brain Toys and some Toys R Us stores. The products are just rolling out so they may not be available locally yet.

Sigg Bottles removed from recommended list

After a warning from a wise reader, we have verified that the newest models of Sigg bottles are indeed made in China. You may still come across an older version on store shelves that does not carry the made in China label. We are working on finding a suitable replacement for the Sigg bottle and we should be able to add it to our list soon.
