A product’s versatility is often key to how eco-friendly it is. The longer you can use something, the less you’ll contribute to the waste stream, the fewer new products will be purchased, and the more money you’ll save. But many expecting parents seem resigned to the idea that as kids grow, everything will need to be replaced – clothing, toys, furniture, you name it.

In a time in which longevity isn’t a concern for many companies because it doesn’t yield as much profit, Stokke’s Sleepi Mini and Crib System stands out. It’s the perfect solution for keeping up with kids’ changing needs. It starts out as a small bassinette, just big enough for newborns to feel cozy and safe in. A conversion kit makes it simple to turn the bassinette into a full-size crib in a snap, and later on, it converts to a toddler bed. Eventually, when children have graduated to a full-size bed, the Stokke system disassembles into two sidechairs, perfect to read in. We really like the rounded, modern look – no sharp edges – and the fact that it rolls from room to room. Click here to read more
