Artificial or Natural...

[Tiny Sue]

Christmas trees?

Natural - lovely smell, looks great, sheds whether it's supposed to or not.

Artificial - less shedding, not as nice looking and doesn't really smell of anything.

Which is safer for a baby?

Advice?

I'd love natural, but with Alex trying to climb the thing, I don't think it'd last two minutes. We put ours up yesterday, in the 4 hours he's been in the living room since then, he's managed to get hold of every bauble within reach, drag tinsel half way round the room and bend one of the lower branches in an attempt to sit on it.

He's up with a cold now, and arranging his bauble collection in pretty patterns on the floor

im Au Nataurel cant beat a real tree, I love the smell and think they look so much nicer (no offense to anyone with fake tree's) I do think fake tree's are more baby friendly as there not spikey but hopefully Ella will learn she isnt allowed to touch it.

I'd have to say fake, we bought a natural one last year and you could barely see the pressies under it by Christmas day as the bloomin thing shred

I stick with fake, even the ones where the needles aren't meant to fall out do and my rats would hurt their little tooties if they walked over them.
