Our Tried & True Clothing Brands for Low Tox Kids (ones that last for hand-me-downs too)
16
items Just some of our favorite low tox, quality options for baby and kids! We do a lot of sales and second hand (JBF, Once Upon a Child or other local consignment, and thrift) - if you have the patience to save and sleuth you can get many of these brands ...
Some of the sweetest and very well made dresses! I love their prints. So far we’ve been enjoying 2T and looking at sizing up.
Alice + Ames - CURRENTLY RUNNING A SALE up to 70% off!
Our go to for thermal wear - we put them under dresses, overalls, outdoor gear, you-name-it in winter. Pricey but definitely worth it!
Simply Merino Babies + Kids Collection
Our favorite socks for every day from newborn to size 6-8. 80% wool. Not too thick, but warm enough for winter wear too!
Woolino Wool Socks
Durable, quality-sewn, organic cotton…we splurge on these for the newborn stage and then keep an eye out for sales or secondhand!
Colored Organics - Cute Cotton Clothes
We try to get a pair of flannel lined overalls in every size for winter. Truly a game changer! The simple canvas and denim options (unlined) are also great for summer/fall or winter with wool thermals underneath.
Carhartt Baby or Kid Canvas Bib Overall Flannel-Lined
We usually keep an eye out for Baby Gap tags, their denim, and dresses or coats/jackets when second hand and consignment shopping because they last! (Note: Gap Factory is a different line with cheaper made items)
Baby Gap
Always shop this brand clearance or consignment sales, but they have very high quality, well-made classic items. I look for coats, dress clothes, accessories, etc!
Janie and Jack Baby and Kids
Bogs have become our favorite rain and snow footwear to search for second hand. You can usually find them too because they’ve become popular!
BOGS Rain and Snow Boots
Lots of outdoor play options at Jan and Jul. We’ve loved their fleece lines snow/rain pants and baby carrier cover especially!
Jan & Jul Outerwear
Super impressed with the quality of their rain gear! They’re roomy enough to wear wool layers or Disana underneath for the winter times.
Reima US | Toddler & Kids' Outerwear and Footwear without added PFAs
I always look first on second hand sites, but this seems to be the best place in the US to get Disana boiled wool buntings, jackets, hats, and bodysuits.
Disana Wool - Little Spruce Organics
This is a British site, so shipping is $$$, but it’s also got SO MANY wool and wool blend options, so if you save up for larger orders it’s worth it!
MamaOwl Merino Wool and Organic clothes for babies and kids 0-8 years
We fill in a lot with Burt’s Bees through sales and second hand shopping. Summer and winter pajamas, dresses, summer overall outfits…
Burt's Bees Baby
Another brand we fill out with on sales or second hand sleuthing. I especially love their knits, and they hold up pretty well - at least enough to hand-me-down through multiple siblings! (Regular carters don’t seem to be as durable but do well enough...
Little Planet by Carter - Organic Kids Clothes
Now under the Carter’s umbrella, but we love their longevity. I also look for the vintage label every time I’m second hand shopping! Dresses, collar shirts, overalls especially.
OshKosh B'gosh Children's Clothing
Other shops I keep an eye out for clearance and consignment shopping…Mini Boden, Little Cotton Clothes, Lalo Kids, Petit Sezane, Kate Quinn, Honest Baby, anything organic cotton, wool, or linen.
Other brands I look for…like Mini Boden
