So I would say organic baby mattress.

And that's such a good thing if you have a shower or people just pitch in and get that.

The clothes are cute, you know, but really investing in a good mattress to me is like king.

And then the car seat.

Guys, I get so hot on this topic because...

Here's the deal.

In order for car seats and mattresses to reach, to check the box for flammability requirements and standards, you do not have to use flame retardants.

There are so many studies showing how bad flame retardants are for our babies.

And the fact that you can use materials like wool and latex and...

coconut coir, and even the way that some polyester car seats, so the way that the materials are actually woven together will allow for companies to meet flammability requirements without the use of flame retardants.

There is no reason that any car seat company should still be spraying their car seats with toxic flame retardants, none, zero.

So there are so many companies doing it right.

If you actually go to Modern Nursery, the owners have done tons of vetting and they sell only flame retardant free car seats.

And there's tons of brands that are doing it right.

In fact, I just bought my son, I think it's the least expensive flame retardant free car seat by Chico, C-H-I-C-C-O, which is one of kind of the more conventional brands.

And I'm just so excited that companies are kind of rising to the occasion.

But I would say, just look at the places your child is spending the most time.

And even back to like, if you're going to paint your nursery, just using safe paint, you know, it's a really large surface area.

They're spending a lot of time there.

And I think those decisions really add up.
