Soothe Swaddle Wraps (Set of 3)

The cotton body is clean if the claim holds, but velcro tabs are synthetic, so this is low-plastic, not plastic-free, and the certification paper trail is thin.

2 / 10 Low plastic footprint $$

About KeaBabies

KeaBabies was started in 2017 by Jane Neo and her husband Ivan, young parents who began building the brand after their first son was born; early on, with their second son on the way, Ivan was badly injured in an accident, and family and friends stepped in to keep the young company alive. Named for the kea, the world's only alpine parrot, the brand makes everyday baby and maternity essentials such as swaddles, bibs, baby carriers, crib sheets, hooded towels, and nursing supplies, sold mainly through big online marketplaces. Its stated mission is simplifying parents' lives for more bonding moments, with a deliberate focus on reasonable prices, because Jane found safe baby products painfully expensive as a new mom. The honest note is paperwork: KeaBabies describes its products as internationally certified and stringently tested, but it publishes no certifier names or license numbers, so its organic cotton and textile-safety claims remain company statements we could not confirm in any registry.
