Orbit
Baby is committed to moving the baby gear industry even
further towards safe-for-us, safe-for-our-planet practices.
Unlike apparel or shoes or handbags, car seats and strollers
are responsible for our children’s safety and must perform
to the most stringent regulatory standards. These standards
challenge our engineers everyday to think and design in ways
that no other baby gear company does, towards greener
products. We are committed to being the first baby gear
company to rid our supply chain of PVC, chrome-plating,
brominated chemicals, and oil-based packaging inks, along
with a host of other bad-for-us materials.
Oeko-Tex®
Standard 100
Most inner
upholstery fabric of all Orbit seats is certified by the
International Oeko-Tex® Association, a Europe-based
institution founded to guarantee “confidence in
textiles." Specifically, Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 is a
set of criteria that limits over 100 potentially harmful
substances and chemicals, ensuring that our upholstery
fabric is especially easy on both your child’s skin and
the environment.
PVC-free
rain shield
PVC and associated
phthalates are harmful to both the environment and our
children. Orbit Baby is proud to offer our customers the
world’s first PVC-free rain shields for our Infant Car
Seat, Bassinet, and Toddler Stroller Seat. With this
PVC-free, phthalate-free, and chlorine-free polymer, we can
deliver a transparent rain shield solution without the
fumes, chemicals, stickiness, and that “shower-curtain
smell” associated with PVC.
Safe
flame-retardants
As required by state
and federal safety standards (NHTSA FMVSS 302 and California
TB 117), all car seats must meet stringent flame retardancy
standards. Many manufacturers meet these requirements by
treating their fabrics with toxic brominated and chlorinated
chemicals, like PBBs and PBDEs, that can be harmful to
children. In contrast, Orbit meets all flame retardancy
standards without these potentially harmful chemicals.
Limited
Green Edition products
Orbit
is proud to present the world’s first Green Edition Orbit
Bassinet Cradle. This exclusive package showcases the
efforts we are putting into our entire product line - safe
for your baby, safe for the planet. We are also donating a
portion of the proceeds from this product to The Nature
Conservancy.
Modularity
With
our modular approach to baby gear, you can accumulate a lot
less stuff for family travel. Our system is sensibly
designed to grow as your baby grows: just swap out your
Orbit seat and keep using the rest of our durable system.
From a newborn infant to a rambunctious toddler, from a walk
in the park to the airport terminal, you can adapt your
Orbit travel system to accommodate life’s roller-coaster.
Durability
As
we were developing the Orbit Baby travel system, we focused
on using only the best materials and processes because our
products are designed to be used a LOT. We’ve accounted
for the wear and tear of baby travel by designing components
that are durable and easily mended.
Recycling
program
Orbit
is launching a recycling program for families that finally
outgrow their Orbit systems. We have designed our products
for best-in-industry disassembly for recycling purposes. |
