Linda Byerline, matriarch of Happy Heinys, the family-owned-and-operated business that for over nine years has designed and manufactured reusable cloth diapering products, . . . quite simply does not take crap from anyone! I’m happy to know this highness of Heinys, as I greatly admire her commitment to environmental issues and natural parenting, her compassion and actions that help others at home and abroad, her support of made in U.S.A, pride, empowerment of other working mothers and her super-mom powers as a there-for-them wife and parent. Plus, seeing her makes me, well, happier!

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.

However, beyond providing a self-declared compliance statement, companies are unable to easily demonstrate to consumers that they have performed due diligence with regard to restricted substance content.
