Brian Matthews
Brian Matthews is a Product Expert at Modern Nursery, where he helps evaluate the safety, usability, and chemical profile of the gear families use every day. A father of three, nationally certified Child Passenger Safety Technician, and former high school teacher, Brian brings a careful, analytical perspective to car seats, strollers, and non-toxic product selection.
Brian’s influence is woven into Modern Nursery’s strict approach to chemical safety. His long-standing commitment to natural living, low-toxin home environments, and safer choices for children helped inspire the company’s deeper non-toxic focus. Today, he consults on the chemical safety of the product line, reviewing materials, certifications, finishes, and exposure concerns before products are recommended to Modern Nursery families. Internally, his approval has become an important part of the company’s product standards.
As an educator, Brian has a gift for making technical topics feel understandable. He writes about car seat safety, stroller safety, and chemical exposure with the goal of helping parents make confident, informed decisions without feeling overwhelmed. His perspective combines the precision of a mathematics background, the practical communication skills of a former high school teacher, and the hands-on safety training of a certified CPS technician. Families may also recognize him from Modern Nursery’s educational videos and social content, where he helps explain what parents should look for, avoid, and question when choosing baby and children’s gear.
At home, Brian and Amber are raising their three children with a shared commitment to natural living, reduced chemical exposure, whole foods, screen-free childhood, and time spent outdoors. That philosophy shapes the way Brian thinks about products: the best gear should be safe, functional, thoughtfully made, and aligned with the kind of home environment parents are trying to create.
