I was all ears while reading the very informative, shocking articles about flame retardants in the Chicago Tribune last month. How industry lied to get these chemicals on the market...and that they don't work as promised and are on a lot of baby stuff, of all things.
Anyone know if carseat companies will be receptive to the current outcry against them?
As far as I know there is one organic seat on the market? And Britax is phasing out certain flame retardants by end of 2012? As soon as they do I'll get my Frontier 85's, but I want to wait to be sure.
I see a niche market...or even if they'd make covers that are non-toxic for those who want them. We just got rid of all our kid's pajamas except the kind w/o flame retardants. I know everything is toxic these days, lol. But kids spend a lot of time in PJ's and in baby products (like, well, carseats). What's scary is the awful things these chemicals do. So it was a pretty easy step to change the pajamas up.
Here are the articles. Really worth a read! http://media.apps.chicagotribune.com/flames/index.html
