What began as a mother’s desire to give her children the best possible health­—both inside and out—is now
i play., Inc.

Founded in 1982, i play. focuses on values that prioritize protecting our children and the Earth. Our company has always been about doing the best thing, the right thing for babies. We are committed to leadership in continually learning about product materials and potential health and safety issues concerning these materials. In 2003 we discovered the use of PVC in baby products. We researched and educated ourselves about the dangers of PVC and ensured that all of our products were PVC-free. In 2006 we learned about similar concerns over BPA, a petroleum-based hormone disrupter, and quickly eliminated it from our green sprouts products. Now we are researching petroleum-free materials and other healthy ways to take care of babies and toddlers.

As parents, store owners and good managers, it is important to educate ourselves about what is best for our babies, which includes finding responsible companies. One of i play.’s primary goals is to help parents navigate their way through information, products and trends in order to make sound decisions about the care of their family. 
Some choices we offer include materials that encourage healthy development from the inside and the outside:

Inside
• Natural, non-petroleum materials such as plant starch,  plant fiber, wood, and cotton
• Non-petroleum materials such as glass, silicone and stainless steel
• BPA-free plastics such as Polypropylene (PP)

Outside
• Natural fibers such as cotton and plant-based non-wovens
• Organic cotton which promotes sustainable farming
• PVC-free waterproof materials such as EVA and polyurethane coated polyesters and nylon
• Sun protective fabrics of UPF 50+
• Flexible and breathable fabrics for active play

Our products undergo extensive testing and conform to all US ASTM, FDA and CPSIA standards. We believe it is a company's responsibility to monitor the quality and safety of their products.
We design our products in Asheville, NC and work with independently-owned factories in China, Thailand, Korea and Taiwan. We adhere to fair labor and environmentally-responsible standards.
We know that parents’ needs for their children are varied, so we’re always looking for choices to help make parenting easier and more fun. That is why we make baby-friendly i play. and green sprouts products for little ones.

—Becky Cannon, President

The Review

This review is for an i play Midweight Raincoat with the Green frogs design.


and a green sprouts Boys’ Undies 3pk, Solid.


I received the i play Midweight Raincoat Green Frogs size 3T-4T for my soon-to-be three year old son. This raincoat is the cutest thing, ever! It fits my son perfectly, and he isn't constricted in it like with some other raincoats he's worn. He likes the way it feels on him. Unfortunately, it hasn't rained here since receiving the raincoat, so he hasn't gotten to go outside in it and "test" it out, but I did my own little "test" with it. I held it over the sink and blasted it good with the faucet sprayer. Let me say, that the raincoat held up great to the force of the water I sprayed it with and the lining on the inside stayed completely dry. So, I am confident that if we get caught outside in the heaviest downpour, my son will stay dry. I, on the other hand, will not. Maybe iplay should make raincoats for us mothers as well?

The shell of this raincoat is made from 100% Polyurethane face/ 100% Polyester backing and the Lining is 100% Polyester. This is a good thing because some raincoats have been found to contain lead and phthalates, which are chemicals that are considered potential developmental toxins if ingested. Here is a link if you want to know more about phthalates in raincoats: http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/product-reviews/research-institute/safety-of-kids-raincoats.

I also received the 3 pack of green sprouts Boys’ Undies in size 2T-3T. They came in light blue, dark blue and green. These undies are soft and they fit my son perfectly. He seems very comfortable in them. They are easy for him to pull up and down when he needs to go to the bathroom. Another great product!
