In an effort to ensure a better environment, UPPAbaby is devoted to developing products that are eco-friendly and safe for your children. It is in this spirit that we are proud to introduce our new, eco-inspired Organic Bassinet. The carrier is fully lined with a blend of cotton and soybean fiber, so every inch of material that touches your baby’s sensitive skin is a wholesome, hygienic alternative to synthetic fabrics. Aside from being eco-friendly, soybean fiber boasts many other properties that are beneficial to the safety and comfort of your baby:

  • Dry and Comfortable: Same moisture absorption as cotton with superior mositure transmission, keeping your baby warm and dry. 
  • Durable and Warm: Soybean fiber has a stronger tensile stength than wool and similar warmth retention. 
  • Cashmere Feel: Soft and light, it has the feel of cashmere but its smoother - it has been touted as the "vegetable cashmere!"
  • Anti-Bacterial: Soybean protein fiber possesses many amino acids necessary to the human body.  It activates the collagen protein in the skin and contains anti-bacterial agents making it a true sanitarian fiber.
 
At UPPAbaby, we firmly believe in the expression "think globally, act locally." We're also constantly thinking about how we can make a positive impact on the environment. That's why we strive to take action where practical and we continually evaluate our environmental opportunities as we grow. What we do now:
 
  • Recycle materials in old and used strollers.
  • Donate functional but not "A-grade" strollers to charity.
  • Operate a warehouse on each coast, helping to reduce truck delivery emissions.
  • Allow "work at home" opportunities for moms and heavy commuters.
  • Located in a primarily non-climate controlled, historical factory building with window AC units that we use sparingly during only the hottest of summer days.
  • Molly, our Vice President of Sales, single-handedly negotiated a cardboard recycling program for the entire office building-- 100,000 sq. ft.!
  • Encourage the use of 4-cylinder or hybrid vehicles for our employees (even Bob at 6'-3" drives one).
  • Partner with eco-friendly retailers to distribute UPPAbaby products.
