For the eco-conscious parent, the Moby Wrap Organic is a new take on the original design. With all the same great features and benefits of the original Moby Wrap, the Moby Wrap Organic is made from EKO certified organic cotton.
EKO certification means that you can rest assured the natural fibers used to make the Moby D came from inspected organic farmers according to clearly defined standards of sustainability. As the plight of our planet is (finally) beginning to make the news, more and more consumers are looking for organic options in everything from food to clothes to baby gear. The Moby Wrap Organic is our answer!
Cotton crops account for 25% of all the insecticides used globally every year. Five of the top nine pesticides used on cotton in the US are known carcinogens and all of them are classified by the EPA as dangerous chemicals. There are currently 400 pesticides currently on the market that have not been registered to determine if they cause cancer, birth defects or wildlife toxicity. 15 pesticides currently in use are reproductive toxins, according to the California EPA. And 46% of all US counties contain groundwater susceptible to contamination from agricultural pesticides and chemicals.
You won't have to babywear for long to discover that most babies quickly discover a fondness for sucking and teething on the edge of the baby carrier. When you use the Moby Wrap Organic, you don't have to worry about what your baby might be sucking on. Likewise, you know the fabric of the Moby Wrap Organic is completely safe and chemical free next to your precious baby's skin. And if all that isn't enough, when you buy a Moby Wrap Organic, you are also supporting the organic cotton industry.
Finally, it's important to remember cotton is a food as well as a fiber. The seeds and fibers of the cotton plant are fed to cattle, which then work their way onto our plates and into our milk. Cottonseed oil is also a main ingredient in processed foods. Because cotton is considered a fiber and not a food, farmers use extraordinary amounts of toxic chemicals to produce it. But ultimately, the toxic chemicals used to produce cotton make their way into our diet. By using the Moby Wrap Organic, you contribute to keeping those chemicals out of your diet and your breast milk!
The Moby Wrap Organic has a slight learning curve, but it's much easier than it looks, and the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. There are no buckles, snaps or fasteners, and the wide fabric of the Moby Wrap Organic distributes your baby's weight evenly across both shoulders and your back, resulting in the most comfortable baby carrier on the market.
With the Moby Wrap Organic, you'll have all the convenience of a comfortable baby carrier, the satisfaction of a content baby, and the peace of mind of an eco-conscious consumer!
