Those nasty fumes aren't only in the wall paint: they can also waft from the adhesives and fibers in newly installed carpeting. Opt instead for FLOR Tiles, which make a soft landing pad for baby's first steps. These modular carpet squares come in dozens of colors, patterns and textures (we love "Toy Poodle"), and are much easier to install than the carseat in the back of your Prius. The eco-conscious company makes many of its products with recycled or renewable resources. And while many carpets give off VOCs in the form of that "new carpet smell," FLOR gives off the lowest level of VOCs in the industry. Can't get that baby spit stain out? You can just pop out the offending tile and replace it -- easier and cheaper than having to rip out the entire carpet.
