Reviewing Canadian Businesses & Products
Ry & Pen - Bamboo Sleeper & Romper I'm sad to say that I took too long to write this and the company shut down in February 2025. The previous June I had ordered two footless rompers and two footie sleepers at 50% off, and honestly I feel like the 50% off price should have... Continue Reading →

Happily, I eventually came across Pobi Baby on Amazon; they happened to be beautiful, and the company is Canadian! Via Amazon:Cost: $39.95... Continue Reading →

Beluga Baby BuckleLast Updated: August 9, 2025I was making a spreadsheet of my baby carriers and when looking for the manufacture date, I noticed that, unlike what the website states, my Beluga Buckle was actually made in Turkey, not Canada.

Obasan Organic Crib Mattress for Babies Becoming a mother has made me paranoid about a variety of things.
