What does GREENGUARD Gold certification mean on a toddler bed?

GREENGUARD Gold certification indicates the product has been tested to meet limits on chemical emissions, a feature several manufacturers in this category highlight (Dream On Me and Delta Children models carry it). Reviewers in granola-leaning parenting subreddits actively search for it, though some note that GREENGUARD-certified beds can still contain MDF, so check the construction materials separately if solid wood matters to you.
