Why It's Good:
Designed with input from parents and experts alike, Wee Generation's Baby Bag isn't your average diaper bag. Its expansive interior conceals an insulated feeding tote and a changing tote (both removable), as well as a changing pad, a detachable bottle cozy, and a zippered accessories pouch. Meanwhile, myriad pockets and compartments keep knick knacks corralled, and stroller-attachment straps offer relief for tired shoulders.
Why It's Green:
You won't find a sliver of PVC on this baby tote, which uses a Cradle-to-Cradle-certified exterior fabric made from 100% post-consumer recycled water bottles. The waterproof liner is also free of the poison plastic, which is known to release phthalates, volatile organic compounds, and other dangerous toxins into the air. If you like free, green stuff—who doesn't?—the first 500 bags will contain a selection of Seventh Generation baby products, a copy of Naturally Clean, the Seventh Generation Guide to Safe and Healthy Non-Toxic Cleaning by Jeffrey Hollender, Seventh Generation coupons, a Wee Generation baby tee, and helpful tips from Healthy Child Healthy World. All profits go to Healthy Child Healthy World, a non-profit dedicated to protecting our children from environmental hazards.

The Ultimate Safe, Stylish Diaper Bag
My husband and I first discovered how noxious PVC was after viewing Blue Vinyl, a 2002 documentary and self-proclaimed "toxic comedy" that had us in anything but stitches. Ever wonder about that new car or shower-curtain smell? You're breathing in poisons off-gassing from the vinyl, including phthalates, a class of chemicals that causes a host of reproductive and development defects. And with a little baby on the way, I can't stop thinking about how his or her tiny little lungs will be breathing such things in, too. Even worse, vinyl-manufacturing plants all over are spewing dioxins and other persistent pollutants, resulting in everything from neurological damage, birth defects, and liver and kidney damage, to the big "C"—cancer. As parents-to-be, keeping our home PVC-free is now more important than ever, even if it's with something as innocuous as a diaper bag.—Jasmin Malik Chua
