This [cradle](http://www.ecoutlet.co.uk/shop/product_details/?product_id=687)is made from recycled material and is perfect for the short time infants need to be in a cradle. It's light, foldable and can be assembled or disassembled easily. Its portability means it can be taken along on overnight visits. Once the infant has outgrown the cradle, it's a breeze to take apart, folded and stored until the next sibling comes along. Once the family is complete, the cradle can be recycled. A truly "sustainable furniture solution for babies first few months".

The cradle has also been protected by an environmentally friendly [non-toxic retardant](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecopeacos-bath-bundle). It is priced at 54.99 British pounds or approximately US$109.
