1. Orbit Baby Debuts Innovative OrganicFRâ„¢ Car Seat
Footmuffs and Upholsteries
NEWARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Orbit Baby Inc., makers of thoughtfully designed premium
infantto-toddler strollers and car seat systems, today announced the introduction of a new green
fabric made with their innovative OrganicFR technology, which is used in a line of Green Edition
accessories for its unique child transportation system.
OrganicFR is the first fabric in the industry to incorporate organic cotton, free of the harsh
chemicals that have typically been used by other car seat manufacturers, while still meeting car seat
flame retardancy requirements. OrganicFR is a part of the OrbitGreen program, and like all of the
OrbitGreen: Certified Fabrics, it is easier on childrens skin.
The new Green Edition line of products using OrganicFR fabrics will debut at the ABC Kids Expo,
September 13-16 in Las Vegas, and includes footmuffs to keep children warm and snug in the fall
and winter seasons, and slip-on natural upholsteries for Orbit Baby car seats.
The company's exclusive OrganicFR fabric technology features an interlocking dual-layer
construction and is made entirely of a blend of natural fabrics. OrganicFR combines the breathable,
soft qualities of organic cotton on the exposed top surface, while utilizing the natural flame
retardant qualities of wool in the interwoven bottom layer. All fabrics and even foam used in these
accessories are certified Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
These Green Edition accessories all meet the governments stringent flame retardancy standards for
car interiors and car seats, and are designed for all Orbit Baby products. Orbit Baby car seat and
stroller systems have unique engineering and safety features, 360-degree rotation, ergonomic
operation and a modular design that adapts to children as they grow from infant to toddler.
The Green Edition footmuffs are lined with OrganicFR fabric on the interior, and an eco-certified,
weather-resistant fabric on the exterior. They come in small and large sizes, for infants through
toddlers, and can be used with any car seat or stroller. Orbit Baby is proud to introduce the only

2. organic footmuffs on the market.
"In designing our products, our first priority is always the safety and well-being of children, but we
also try to eliminate the use of chemicals that harm the environment and pose unknown risks to
children," said Orbit Baby CEO and co-founder Joseph Hei. "OrganicFR is the newest material in our
OrbitGreen: Certified Fabrics program, and we have spent years refining its specific dual-layer
composition, something that is totally new to the child transportation gear market."
All child car seats must meet stringent flame retardancy standards required by the government
(Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards FMVSS 302). In the past, many car seat manufacturers
have met these requirements by treating their fabrics with brominated and chlorinated chemicals
that may be harmful to children, but Orbit Baby strives to meet all required standards without these
potentially harmful chemicals on all of its car seat products. Orbit Baby is committed to developing
products that are safe for children, and to doing more than any other baby gear manufacturer to
eliminate PVC, chrome-plating, brominated chemicals and other harmful materials from its supply
chain.
As a part of Orbit Babys industry-leading OrbitGreen program, the upholstery fabric that contacts
your child on all Orbit Baby seats and accessories is certified by the International Oeko-Tex
Association as Oeko-Tex Standard 100, which limits over 100 potentially harmful substances and
chemicals.
Orbit Baby also takes the environment into account in its business process, and offsets 100 percent
of its electrical needs through Green-e certified Renewable Energy Certificates, along with
purchasing carbon offsets to fund green initiatives in the environment.
The Green Edition footmuffs and upholsteries will be available in December. The products can be
seen on display at booth #5800 at the ABC Kids Expo, September 13-16 in Las Vegas.
