Sustainability comes in many forms, from ethical labor practices that give back to the surrounding community, to environmental protection - like zero-waste manufacturing or planting trees for each product sold.
OEKO-TEX® certified products pass rigorous tests in 18 different labs in Europe and Japan to guarantee maximum consumer safety.
BPA [bisphenol A] is an industrial chemical found in plastic, epoxy resins, and even food and water containers. This chemical has been linked to adverse health effects in fetuses, newborns and children.
Formaldehyde is something you want to stay away from because it is a cancerous, strong-smelling, colorless gas commonly found in pressed-wood products.
Phthalates disrupt the body's hormones and some are known carcinogens. The chemicals from baby gear and wallpaper can be ingested, inhaled or absorbed.
PFAS-free baby products do not contain poly-fluorinated alkyl substances which are a group of around 4,700 industrial chemicals that can be found everywhere around us.
Fire retardants are chemicals that are often sprayed onto car seats and baby products to make them fire resistant. But, these poisonous chemicals are known to cause hormone disruption, neurological damage and even cancer.
Your kid wants to be held. Constantly. On your hip, specifically, and ideally while you stir dinner with the other hand. The Tushbaby gets it. It is a padded hip carrier that buckles around your waist like a belt and gives your little one a comfy perch, so their weight rides on your hips and core instead of that one heroic forearm you've overused since the newborn days.
It carries from newborn all the way to toddlerhood, up to 45 pounds, with four ways to hold and a firm, structured seat that actually keeps its shape. No flimsy foam that folds in half by month three. Just a supportive spot for the baby and a real break for your back, shoulders, and arms. Five pockets and a hidden bottle holder mean it quietly moonlights as your diaper bag too, so some days your hands are free and you wear it anyway.
Here is the part we care about most: the fabrics are OEKO-TEX certified, tested against a long list of harmful substances, which matters when something spends all day against your baby's and your own skin. We would never offer a carrier we wouldn't use with our own kids!
