The Biz: News Updates

Lisa Malcic’s seven-year-old son may have some explaining to do when, down the road, his friends discover he was both the inspiration behind, and model for, the revolutionary Pee-pee Teepee.

My poor son, he’ll have to have Pee-pee Teepee therapy,” joked Malcic, who created the amusing spout guard about seven years ago in response to the diaper-changing dilemma encountered by many parents of newborn boys. Every time Malcic and her husband took off their son’s diaper, he immediately peed on them before they could get the next one on.

More than 21 years ago, Bobux created the world’s first soft-sole elasticized shoe for babies. Using the safest natural products we could find, we added the original Bobux elastic ankle device, and a new shoe category was born! Bobux shoes are inspired by the New Zealand way of life - natural, free and fun.

From that first shoe grew an entire range of eco-friendly footwear and clothing all based around the philosophy that children do better when they’re comfortable, happy and free to experiment and develop as nature intended.

Bobux - born in New Zealand
