With a suction grip to make meal times easier, these plates are made without plastics and toxins, making them sustainable and eco-friendly. It's also sturdy and easy to clean.

One reviewer said: "We have found this suction plate perfect for our 1 year old son. The suction pad on the bottom does a great job of ensuring it can’t be moved / picked up while he is eating therefore avoiding a mess and a plate on the floor. It can be stuck by applying a little downward pressure then is released easily (by an adult who knows where to pull!)."

Designed for multi-tasking modern parents, each nappy can be simply thrown in the wash, meaning no soaking, no special detergents, no scrubbing and no stains, all whilst being free from harmful chemicals. Each four-pack of reusable nappies comes in unique, modern and stylish designs, provides 12 hours' overnight protection, and they can hold up to one litre of leaks!

One review said: "I’m a big fan of these nappies. I am new to using cloth nappies and the thought of starting was daunting, so chose to get a four pack to start off with. These are so easy to use and easy to clean when I add the disposable liner and they are so cute too! I have tried one or two other brands that didn’t fit as snuggly or that were harder to clean, but these are perfect. I’ll be buying more."

Made entirely from bamboo, these wipes are biodegradable, compostable, and naturally hypoallergenic. They're infused with 99 per cent water and one per cent aloe vera and fruit extract, so they're soft and sensitive for little bottoms and faces. They break down in three to five weeks, and the packaging is made from recycled plastic too.

One reviewer said: "I recently tried The Cheeky Panda wipes and I have to say, I'm converted. These wipes are absolutely wonderful. They're great for sensitive skin, plus they're also biodegradable, making them a more eco-friendly choice. What's not to love!"

A plant-based non-bio laundry detergent that's tough on reusable nappies, but gentle for baby's skin. The detergent sinks deep into the fibres of cloth nappies that leave them with a fresh scent. It's made from coconut and sugarcane-based cleaning ingredients. They also do a bundle with a detergent, bottle cleaner and surface cleaner.

One review said: "This is a winner - got it for my daughter to use for cloth nappy liners - works wonders - she left it and i use it on my husbands shirts - brings them back to white - amazing stuff."

Made from recycled plastic bottles, the Micralite stone has mesh panels to allow for maximum airflow. It pops up and down with ease, is lightweight and easy to store. The neutral shade makes it perfect for any home, and the fact it's made from sustainable materials makes it the perfect eco-friendly travel cot.

One review said: "Well designed. Easy portability. The zipper is useful and can be opened only from outside the cot for safety."

These disposable nappy bags are just as effective as their plastic counterparts but, because they’re made from natural cornstarch, they’re also fully compostable. By swapping to these, you'll be able to reduce your carbon footprint significantly. The bags come packaged in a roll inside of a cardboard box, so make sure to open the box along the perforation to ensure smooth handling of the bags.

One review said: "I like that they’re eco friendly as I’m trying to reduce harmful waste. They’re sturdy and do the job, although I wish there were more in the pack."

Sophie is one of the most popular baby toys on the market and the good news is that it’s also one of the most environmentally friendly baby eco products. Made from 100 per cent natural rubber sourced from carefully managed farms in Malaysia, Sophie is fully biodegradable and a green alternative to plastic teethers.

One review said: "I bought one of these when my daughter was little and now I’ve got one for my little boy. He loves it too! I think it’s really helped him with his recent teething. Perfect"

This reusable, award-winning cloth nappy has been made from sustainable and plant-based materials, and will keep your baby's bottom dry and comfy for up to 12-hours. Made using ECONYL® regenerated nylon, a world first for this product category, it promises to be one of the most sustainable and innovative options on the market, helping to clean up oceans and landfills around the world. The three designs available are also super cute.

One review said: "I’ve been using these since my baby was newborn as I wanted some earth friendly nappies to go along with cloth nappies! They are amazing and after a year I’ve still never had any issues, and love the designs every time we go up a size! I always recommend to everyone!"

This highchair is the epitemy of sustainability - it's made from wood responsibly sourced, it's manufactured as close to the source site to reduce emissions, and it's intended to have longevity and grow with your baby from newborn all the way up to adult! This strong, durable, and long-lasting piece of furniture has been designed with adaptable parts to transform it from a seat for newborns, to tots, to adults weighing up to 136kgs.

You can choose to have it made in Beech or Oak with a load of colour variations, and we just love the Scandinavian minimalist design. It comes with the basics, so make sure to add the Newborn and/or Baby Set to your order for optimal use and flexibility.

Kit + Kin - co-founded by Spice Girl Emma Bunton - aims to create products that are as gentle on the environment as they are on our babies. These eco nappies feature a top layer, outer lining, leg cuffs and packaging all made from 100 per cent sustainable materials, and the factory is carbon neutral. They're hypoallergenic, with a flash dry layer to keep babies' bottoms dry. We also love that every nappy gives back through the Kit + Kin Foundation, helping to protect acres of precious rainforest and support the communities living in these areas with educational scholarships and healthcare clinics.

Mum Amy said: "I would recommend this product as I love the design of each nappy, its cute little faces on the bottom. They are easy to use and are comfortable and soft for my baby. These nappies are better for the environment so are great for those who don’t like using disposable nappies but aren’t keen on reusable, like myself. They are very well priced for what they are and match others in the market."

These reusable nappies from Bambino Mio come in a variety of designs and are fully adjustable, meaning your baby can wear them all the way up until they're potty trained. The cute Bambino Mio Miosolo nappy fits well, sits comfortably and dries quickly after washing. The pull-out tab system makes removing the core from inside the nappy super simple. The nappy itself is not the most absorbent but Bambino Mio has tried to solve the problem with an added booster pad.

Mum tester Lisa said: "The slim design of the nappy means it's extremely comfortable and easy to use with no bulk under clothes. The shape of the nappy meant it was as easy to use as a disposable. There are no pins and no plastic pants that are normally associated with reusable nappies! We loved the pretty patterns and different colours. A fantastic upgrade to a traditional nappy!"

They felt very clean and natural and good quality, some wipes are very thin or small and come apart but this felt strong and reliable. The packaging also feels high quality and sturdy."

One review said: "My toddler loves this tea set. It''s a great size and mix of colours and the tea pot and sugar pot lids fit on well. We have had it since 18m and it's still being enjoyed over a year later. Many tea parties have been enjoyed in that time! We also had it outside in the summer for water play. Unfortunately we have lost a spoon (got a feeling it was 'posted' in the bin when we first had it!), but this hasn't had an impact on the enjoyment."

It’s quite frightening how many wipes we get through wiping bottoms, faces and hands, so do something good for the planet and invest in wipes that are biodegradable. Bambo Nature Wet Wipes are a must-have for everywhere you and your baby go. Their skin-friendly, moisturising cleaning wipes are made from soft, sustainable, materials and can be used on the entire body, from wiping baby poop to sticky hands. They are dermatologically tested and contain no perfume or colour, and are a great alternative to water and soap.

These wipes were shortlisted at the Mother and Baby Awards 2021.

Mum tester Clotilde said: "My son has very sensitive skin so we tend to only use water with reusable wipes but when out and bout I find this is difficult and prefer to use wet wipes. However there are very few options that are suitable for sensitive skin but also eco friendly. It is great to have found biodegradable wipes that are both environmentally friendly and suitable for sensitive skin as my son did not react to them."

Shortlisted for the Baby Wipes category at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards, these single-sided wipes are ideal for every moment of the day, especially to clean baby's bottom. The wipes consist of one layer of soft, 100 per cent organically-grown cotton yarn and they are strong enough to handle the most dirty of diapers without harming or irritating your little one. Wet them with a little warm water and your baby will enjoy changing time every time.

Mum tester Jennie said: "These are brilliant for us as my little boy suffers from eczema on his face. It means I can give his face a good clean with any irritating chemicals. The quality of the cotton is lovely. They are a good size and I feel like we are using less product so we also have less waste. I encourage my older child to use them as well as it’s a product I trust would not damage or irritate her skin. They are great for the whole family."
