Stroller Reviews

by Cathy Fligger
With all of the talk about Going Green, one of the top stroller manufacturers who stand out by making their strollers good for the environment, is BabyPlanet. With lines like the Eden Bassinet, the Endangered Species Strollers, the Solo Sport Strollers and the Unity Sport Strollers; this company has a loaded product line.

My favorite line is the Endangered Species line. BabyPlanet has teamed with the Wildlife Conservation Society and developed this line of strollers around endangered animals; lemur leaf frog, monarch butterfly, snow leopard and tiger. $5 from every stroller sale goes to the WCS. So not only are these strollers stylish, they help the environment and the animals that inhabit it.

Another great way that BabyPlanet is going green is their recycling program. If your stroller (their brand or another brand) is able to be reused, they help you find someone in need of a stroller. If your stroller is not roadworthy, they help you recycle your stroller so it does not go into a traditional landfill. The entire stroller is 100% recyclable.  So not only is BabyPlanet benefiting your child now, they are looking to create a safer and healthier environment in the future for them.

Currently, BabyPlanet is  under a re-organization plan, and will not be launching their new line until this fall. So finding their strollers to purchase now is almost impossible. However, we are keeping up with them daily at Stroller .com; so keep checking back to see when they will be available. I am hoping to see them start shipping sometime within the next month!

I know that more and more, stroller and child care companies are looking to go green. So no matter what brand name you have, check with them to see if they have a recycling program or what pieces can be recycled. Just a little help from everyone, we can make a big difference.
