I done this search a few times:

Organic Toys: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=organic+toys&aq=f

Organic Child: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=organic+child

They should look into freecycle for recycling stuff as JZ suggested - if they are not in a yuppie with hippie tendencies area, they should look at a freecycle board in the closest one to them. In my hood it would not be odd at all to see a listed for " Wanted: All wooden baby furniture or toys (sustainable preferred). Organic cotton baby clothes or linens."

They might also want to look to see if there is a CSA near them. My friend purees food for her son from the organic locally grown produce. They can search for one here; http://www.localharvest.org/csa/
or do a google search for csa and their area.

Thanks! I know that used/freecycled sutff will definitely be something they are looking for, not only for enviornmental reasons but also for frugality. I don't know about a CSA but I will point them in that direction (I'm looking for a CSA in my area that will do half shares).

They've also been looking into things like glass bottles vs plastic and other things.
