Orbit Baby Strollers the Safest On the Market?
Monday, December 29th, 2008With Orbit Babys Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certification, their seat fabrics are some of the safest and least allergic that parents can buy.
As we all know, parents today are more concerned than ever about the chemicals to which their children are exposed. As part of our overall Green initiatives, Orbit Baby is committed to reducing harmful materials in all of our products. Since fabrics are what children touch and sleep on the most in car seats and strollers, Orbit has recently achieved Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certification for all the micro-fiber upholstery fabric on our products. We are the first car seat and stroller manufacturer to achieve this milestone, and this certification makes our products industry-leaders in chemical safety and hypoallergenic qualities. Besides being the only valid ce rtification of its kind, Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 is very thorough in the substances it addresses: over 100 compounds are restricted, ranging from harmful heavy metals like lead and arsenic, to many known allergy-inducing and irritating chemicals. Also restricted are substances such as pesticides, phthalates, dyes, and VOC emissions.
