 Betterra.com is committed to bringing you the best selection of attachment parenting and natural family living products at the best price and is proudly affiliated with A Much Better Way LLC which has brought attachment parenting news, articles and advice to the internet since 2005.
A Much Better Way LLC was launched after store owner, Sheryl Lyon, welcomed her first of two daughters into the world.
Like many other natural minded parents, Lyon embarked on a quest to only use the safest products on her baby while saving money at the same time. This led her on an eco friendly adventure that encompassed all aspects of natural family living including natural birth, cloth diapering, baby wearing and healthy, eco friendly living.
The retail store, Betterra, was a natural progression after Lyon saw a need for a shopping environment where buyers could find a full range of natural family living products including hard to find niche items produced by creative, work at home parents.
What's In A Name Betterra is a combination of "BETTER" and "TERRA" putting better and earth in one word. Our mission is to provide products that are better/safer for human beings, better/safer for the environment and in many cases, better for your wallet.
Pronunciation? You can say "BETTER-ra" or you can say "bet-TERRA" We usually use the second pronuciation but either one works for us.
What We Sell
What We Don't Sell Perhaps as important as the terrific selection of products we carry, are the products that we choose not to stock in our store. We will not sell any items that undermine breastfeeding such as pacifiers (even nontoxic ones) and baby formula. We do not carry plastic toys or any item with BPA or other toxins. We stand by our attachment parenting philosophy and because our specialty is products that bring babies closer to their parents, we do not carry items that separate babies from their parents such as cribs, strollers and carseats. Grab those things at Babies R Us if you want them and then come back here for your attachment parenting items.
(Side note: we obviously understand that car seats are non-negotiable for car travel but they are simply not our niche and we would prefer a perfect world where parents everywhere wore their babies while walking, hiking or using public transportation to keep baby close and save the environment at the same time. That said, if you need to transport your baby by car, absolutely use a carseat).
Shipping and Returns: Shipping is fast, reliable and easy. Standard shipping $5.00 for US orders under $25.00 and free after that. You can pay more and get your products even faster if you like. We work with Amazon to store our products at a warehouse in Indiana and their state of the art storage centers are able to ship your products in record time, in some cases within hours. Track your packages right here in our store.
Returns are also easy. Basically it boils down to this, if you don't like it, we are not going to make you keep it. Want to know more? Check out our complete shipping and return policy.
Payment and Security Paying online is a leap of faith for many people. That is why we try put as much trust back in the transaction as possible. Our SSL is through Geotrust and our payment gateway is Paypal. We do not store your credit card numbers, in fact we never see them at all because Paypal is processing the transaction directly through our site. You can also pay externally through Google Checkout, Paypal or Amazon checkout.
Giving Back We believe that it is important to give back and two charities that we love are Kiva.org and 1-888-US-Women which helps American women in abusive relationships living overseas safely return home.
