Collection: Baby Transportation Essentials

Car seats and strollers are legally required to be flame-retardant, but the "Manufacturer Lie" is that they must use chemicals to meet these standards. In reality, many brands use halogenated flame retardants that children breathe in during every car ride.

A Healthy SHIFT to car seats and strollers that use naturally flame-resistant Merino Wool is a game-changer. At The True Shift, we vet for "FR-Free" (Flame Retardant Free) certifications, ensuring your baby isn't trapped in a small space with off-gassing chemicals.

How We Evaluate Transportation Essentials

Products in this category are reviewed using The True Shift Sustainability Framework:

• Sustainability Score: We prioritize gear made with recycled aluminum and OEKO-TEX certified fabrics.
• Chemicals & Pollutants Addressed: We target PFAS (used for water resistance) and Brominated Flame Retardants.
• Long-Term Cost Considerations: High-quality, non-toxic gear has a significantly higher resale value and is built for Lifetime Durability.

FAQs: The Truth Check

• How can wool be flame retardant? Wool is naturally difficult to ignite. It meets federal safety standards without the need for "chemicals that mess with your body's rhythm."
• What about "waterproof" strollers? Many use PFAS. We look for strollers with tightly woven fabrics or safe, plant-based coatings for water resistance.
• Is the "new car seat smell" dangerous? That smell is VOCs off-gassing from foam and glue. We recommend airing out any new gear or choosing our AI-vetted low-emission models.
