Default Links to baby products NOT made in China

After looking through a lot of Sam's toys and other gear last night, MOST of it is made in China. I know not everything made in China contains lead, but it's getting ridiculous.

So, let's start a list of items that aren't made in China. I'm totally willing to pay a little more for something that is safe....and also that the people who make it aren't being paid pennies a day to work.

http://www.taurustoy.com/
http://www.plantoys.com/ (Our neices have some of these toys....they are great! Plus they're available through amazon)
http://www.americanapparel.net/ (also available through amazon)
http://www.usmadetoys.com/
http://stillmadeinusa.com/toysngames.html
http://www.boycottmadeinchina.org/en...tive_shopping/
http://www.kaleidoscopetoys.com/
http://www.grandrivertoys.com/ (as far as I can tell, all of their toys are made in Canada)
http://www.babybjorn.com/ (I couldn't tell where all of their products are manufactured, but found this statement: BabyBjörn does not use chemical additives such as cadmium, lead, phthalates, bromine or chlorine. Nor do we use PVC, and all our plastics are recyclable.)
