For as long as we’ve been in this business, our friends and family have been craving an organic baby bassinet. You and the rest of our customers are no different. With all the organic choices out there – from mattresses, sheets and blankets to pillows and even toys – you would assume they could be wrapped in simple, organic crib or bassinet cocoon. Well unfortunately, aside from building your own, custom-made bassinet from organically grown lumber, there are very few choices. The closest we’ve managed to come by is found in a company from the rural North Canterbury region of New Zealand, “under the spectacular Southern Alps”, known as New Zealand Nursery Products. Their popular Cariboo line has grown tremendously popular throughout the region which has led them to expand into the States to a very warm welcoming. Scroll below to read more...

Cariboo: the Next Best Thing to an Organic Bassinet

The reason? It lies in their attention to detail in creating safety conscious, ageless designs from sustainable materials. It all starts in the manufacturing stages. With wood being nature’s most sustainable raw material, as well as being a lightweight yet incredibly durable building material, it makes for an excellent shell to protect and preserve your baby’s future. Cariboo uses only the finest Radiata pine grown on their native New Zealand which grows slow and straight thanks to the country’s supreme climate. This medium-density softwood is known as one of the world’s best clear woods. When fashioned into your baby’s one of a kind bassinet, it creates a beautiful, soft finish that’s hard to duplicate.

And where it starts with materials, it ends with design. Equally important to their success is the minimalistic design they put into each element of their furniture. Their line of bassinets – which range from the utterly-basic Gentle Motions to the all too familiar Classics – bring about a sense of true peace and natural contentment that transcends time and fashion. When combining the strong raw materials with the Cariboo sense of style, you’re sure to keep these heirlooms in the family for generations to come. And when it’s all said and done, we here at Absolutely Organic Baby are all too excited to feature a product with such a fine history and sustainable future.

So until a company can truly put an “organic” stamp on an organic baby bassinet, we’ll be here bringing you the next best thing. Cribs and bassinets are a dime a dozen and most times you can do nothing but pray your child isn’t sleeping in a soon-to-be recalled piece of furniture. With Cariboo, we’ll help protect your baby’s future with sustainable and natural sleeping aids.
