Stain for baby crib and dress/changing table

Over the last 2 months I have built my first project which happens to be for my first baby. A crib and dress/changing table. Does anyone have any suggestions on what stain is the safest to use for baby furniture. I am looking for something waterbased and low VOC. I have attached a link so you can see what it is. Thanks for any insight.

The only thing I have noticed with the water based paints is that the pigment is very strong for starters and you have to work quick. I would look into General Finishes, they are sold at woodcraft, I like those stains the best, but the stain is only the first part, the Polyurethane to protect I would think would be your biggest issue since that essentially seals the stain... Good Luck

Free Hand Guard (dust collection)

Hi. I'm wondering if anyone has used the Woodpecker Free Hand Guard for dust collection on their bench top router table during pattern routing. How effective is it? It's adaptable to any router table. Continue
