On my travels throughout Toronto I came across youngsters on the Hip, a amazing bit (well not so little) store found in Leslieville (1142 Queen street East, 416-466-1171).

Owned by Cheryl as well as Gini, who likewise own infant on the Hip. when their clients started requesting more eco-friendly products for their growing kids now 3 as well as up, they hatched youngsters on the Hip.

Most of their products have the atmosphere in mind. If they bring a routine produced item, possibilities are they will have an organic version as an option. I’m extremely impressed with the choice of toys, art supplies, bedding, toiletries as well as garments that contain natural or organic ingredients. They even bring organic mattresses that have soy-based foam as well as are PBDE-free.
