If you’re interested in cloth diapers, come in for a demonstration. If you’re curious about babywearing, come try our wraps and slings. And rest assured that all of our products have been thoroughly researched and tested. Only the best for our customers!
And because we love our customers so much, we’re also a community resource for NorthShore families - a place to visit if you need to feed, nurse or change your little one. And if you need to play, CGB can help. Just ask any of our “regulars!” We’ve got couches for mom and dad, lead-free and non-toxic toys for the kids, and great conversations for all.
But we do so much more than just talk and play – we work hard to organize family and community-oriented events. In the past, we’ve hosted composting workshops to raise money for local schools, organized film screenings with Cinema Salem, and played host to a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program.
