Buying green products has become a way of life for many parents, and is certainly not a short lived trend.  Finding all of these products, however, has often been difficult, in that just about anything can be labeled “green” and eco-friendly products are often not available in mass merchandisers.

The online store, buygreen.com, offers a great way for parents to find and buy products that are truly eco-friendly.  We checked out two items for our toddler, the SIGG water bottle, and a Klean Kanteen 12 oz sippy.  Both products claim to be free of leaching plastics. 

The SIGG water bottle is a workhorse - made of a single piece of aluminum, it is crack-resistant, durable, and is fun and fashionable.  The Klean Kanteen is made of stainless steel, and is more of a traditional sippy with an Avent plastic spout.  Both are wonderful products and fit cleanly in most diaper bags!

Buygreen.com also has a huge variety of other products, including very cool Bento Box lunchboxes (a new trend in children’s lunches, according to Tina Sharkey at Babycenter).  Check out the entire selection at http://www.buygreen.com.
