Foldable, Portable High Chair? Yes, Please!

You are in luck if you live in Australia -AND- are in need of this seriously awesome, eco-friendly foldable highchair. Not only is the highchair recyclable after its shelf-life of 30 or so uses, it can be cleaned with a wet cloth (you know, for those that are messy eaters – what baby isn’t a messy eater?) and weighs around 2 lbs. Plus, it’s easy to carry and doesn’t look like a raging eye-sore… it’s actually pretty cute.

Belkiz, the creator behind the idea, is looking to expand its current lot of stores that carry the product. So, while it may take a while for the chair to get to U.S. markets, it’s good to know that people are always looking out for ways to make things easier on moms, dads, and our environment.

Why Choose Organic for Babies?

We all know that “organic” is better for you… but what does it really mean, and why should we buy organic clothing for our little ones?

First of all, organic clothes are produced with a variety of environmentally-conscious factors in mind. From factories manufacturing apparel within an ethical workplace to using low-impact dyes to utilizing eco-friendly raw materials, buying organic clothing contributes to being responsible toward the Earth and its people. It makes a statement.

Second, organic clothes are safer for your babies! Many organic clothing companies use nickel-free snaps and closures, safe dyes, organic cotton, bamboo fabric, and/or fair trade practices. Organic companies are usually extremely dedicated to educating people and their customers in the importance of keeping the planet healthy, starting with our little ones.

You will find that many companies that sell organic clothes are active in their community, give back to charity and donate their time to the overall eco-effort. By associating and patronizing these businesses, you can also lend a hand in giving back to our wonderful planet.

Below are some of our favorite companies that sell organic baby clothing:
