Safe, Durable, and On Time. Every Season.
Safety regulations, massive size ranges, and products that need to survive daily washing and active play. Kidswear development has rules that adult apparel doesn't.
Every Regulation.
Built Into the Process.
Childrenswear safety standards are non-negotiable. Kōbō checks drawstring rules, small parts testing, chemical compliance, and flammability requirements automatically - flagging issues before they reach production.
| Check | Standard | Status |
|---|---|---|
| No drawstrings (0-7yr) | Pass | |
| Small parts test | Pass | |
| Oeko-Tex 100 | Pass | |
| REACH chemicals | Pass | |
| Nickel-free hardware | Pass | |
| Flammability EN 14878 | Pending | |
| Cord length max 7.5cm | Pass |

Soft Enough to Wear.
Tough Enough to Last.
Kidswear materials need to be gentle on skin and survive constant washing. Track wash durability, pilling resistance, colorfastness, and certifications for every fabric in your library.
Factories Aligned.
Standards Met.
Kidswear suppliers need specific certifications. Kōbō tracks which factories hold GOTS, Oeko-Tex, and BSCI compliance - so you always know who can produce what.
Safe, compliant, and efficient.
Kids don't sit still. Neither do the regulations. Your system needs to keep up with both.
