Baby Items NOT made in China???

Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 12:26 AM by Milo_Bloom
We have a baby coming in 3 months and we absolutely, positively, do not want any items made in China.

In short, trying to find flipping baby items is eating up more time than it will take to raise the baby.

If others are in a similar position, there might be some information in here for you, but hopefully, maybe, someone will have some information for me as well.

We managed to find a stroller and a car seat at an amazing price

SOME Peg Perego strollers are made in Italy (for example the P3)... You can get "last years model" at about half price here.

Car seat here:

The Aria (their cheaper model) IS made in China.. so if you don't want China made products, beware of that model.

Britax strollers and car seats are "Made in the USA" from "international parts" (they will not say what countries when asked).

Graco, Evenflo, etc... ALL made in China.



In my searching I have managed to find a lot of helpful links, BUT most of the items are for CHILDREN, not BABIES.

This link has a lot of items BELIEVED not to be from China
http://toys-without-china.com/index.php

But my own research casts doubt on some of these items. For example, I have yet to find a TIny Love product NOT made in China, but they are listed under the not made in china on this link.

There is this link
http://www.nmctoys.com/

Edited to add one more link I just found oompa.com allows you to search by where a toy is made!

But they really don't have things like Baby Mobiles, etc..

There is of course, www.chinafreechristmas.info but they, again, don't really cover baby stuff, only older children.


I am looking for the following items: Mobiles... Nursery Yard... Bouncer/Swing, but so far I am finding just about every single one is made in China... any advice?

Thanks
