Looking for safe toys for your little one? Want super in-depth product reviews? Curious as to what happens when someone sports synthetic urine soaked diapers on her arms in order to test the potential for skin irritation? That last one really got your attention, didn't it?

All of this and more can be found at ZRecommends. It's a great site for parents who are looking for quality consumer recommendations focusing on product health and safety. And these people are truly dedicated to the cause. The diapers on the arm thing wasn't a joke. The folks over at ZRecommends are currently testing Pampers Dry Max diapers on themselves due to complaints of the diapers causing nasty rashes.

Years of reporting on potentially harmful chemicals in children's products led to the creation of the ZRecs Guide to Safer Children's Products. The guide covers BPA, phthalates, parabens, lead and more in everything from bottles to sleepwear. The database can be searched by brand or by category.

Toy safety is of great concern to me. Sophie is growing and doing more every day. I want to get her some new toys that will help in her development and be fun to play with, but of course I'm concerned about what's in those toys, especially since it will end up in her mouth. I would love to hear about toy guides you have found that cover these topics, or toy brands you have found that are safe. Please add your comments and input!
