Organic Short Sleeve Bubble Romper

# Organic Short Sleeve Bubble Romper Print: Dotty Gingham Size: 0-3M, 3-6M, 6-12M, 12-18M, 18-24M Brand: Makemake Organics Category: Clothing > Rompers Age: 0-3m, 3-6m, 6-9m, 9-12m, 12-18m, 18-24m This short sleeve bubble romper comes in a dotty gingham print and is built for everyday wear, from playtime to outings. Its relaxed bubble silhouette gives babies room to move, and a diaper-friendly gusset adds extra room where it counts. The fabric is a ribbed cotton and spandex blend (97% cotton, 3% spandex) that gives the romper gentle stretch, at a lightweight yet durable 310 GSM weight. The romper is manufactured in a GOTS certified facility in India. For care, the maker recommends machine washing on gentle cycle, avoiding bleach, ironing on cool, and tumble drying on low heat, removing promptly when done. Because it is made from 100% organic cotton without flame-retardant treatment, it is intended for daywear rather than classified as sleepwear. ## Key features - Ribbed fabric blend of 97% cotton and 3% spandex for gentle stretch - Gusset for extra diaper room - Lightweight yet durable 310 GSM fabric weight - Tagless design - Colored with AZO-free, non-toxic dyes - Manufactured in a GOTS certified facility - Bubble silhouette with short sleeves for a relaxed, easy-movement fit - Dotty gingham print - Nickel-free snaps for fuss-free diaper changes - Soft rib knit ## TrustScore: 91/100 TrustScore is Birch's proprietary rating, from 0 to 100, built from 50+ signals that reflect what actually matters to parents — safety, materials, recalls, certifications and quality. We don't take paid placements or sponsored rankings, so a score is never influenced by who pays to be seen. This product's TrustScore: 91/100, weighted across 10 criteria. - Fiber Content & Origin: 92/100. Fibre composition is published exactly — 97% cotton with 3% spandex in a 310 GSM ribbed knit — with organic status attributed to a named certifier and licence, IDFL Laboratory and Institute under GOTS licence IDFL 010673, and provenance stated: cotton grown and garments made in India, designed in Florida. General brand copy elsewhere calls the clothing 100% organic cotton, which does not match the 3% spandex in this style. - Construction & Fastener Safety: 88/100. The romper closes with a named 2-way YKK zipper rather than snaps or buttons, has a diaper gusset and is tagless, so there are no small detachable fasteners, appliqués or neck ties in the design. What is not published is any attachment or seam evidence: no flat-seam or reinforcement specification, and no small-parts or use-and-abuse test result for the zipper and pull. - Dye Safety: 92/100. The romper is crafted with AZO-free, non-toxic dyes and printed with water-based dyes, and AZO dyes are among the substances declared absent; the base fabric is cotton rather than a synthetic, so disperse dyes are not in play. GOTS licensing at IDFL 010673 covers dye chemistry through processing, and independent coverage repeats the AZO-free, eco-friendly dye claim. - Textile Certification: 92/100. GOTS covers the products themselves, not only the fibre: the brand is licensed under IDFL 010673 through IDFL Laboratory and Institute, its products and facility are certified organic and carry the Organic Certification label, and this romper is responsibly manufactured in a GOTS certified facility. Independent write-ups of the bubble romper line call it GOTS certified organic cotton. - Recall History: 97/100. We queried the complete CPSC recall corpus — 9,944 records spanning June 1973 to August 2026 — and Makemake Organics appears nowhere in it, in any role, at any date. The same corpus returns hundreds of records for other children's product classes, so the clean result reflects the brand's absence rather than a query that missed. - Certification Credibility: 92/100. Makemake Organics holds GOTS licence number IDFL 010673, with IDFL Laboratory and Institute named as the independent third-party certifier of both the products and the facility; this romper carries its own IDFL reference alongside Fair Trade and STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX claims, and independent write-ups of the brand repeat the GOTS licensing and the OEKO-TEX certification. - Chemical Finish Avoidance: 92/100. The romper is free of PFAS, formaldehyde, flame retardants, phthalates and AZO dyes, and the rompers are untreated by flame retardants — which is why they are sold as daywear rather than sleepwear. Nothing in the marketing or care guidance offers easy-care, wrinkle-free, non-iron, stain- or water-repellent performance; the care guide asks for a cool iron. Independent coverage repeats the freedom from PFAS and flame retardants. - Pre-Wash & Care Guidance: 79/100. Care guidance for this romper is thorough and matches the garment: machine wash on gentle, do not bleach, iron on cool, tumble dry on low and remove promptly, with mild plant-based detergent and wool dryer balls suggested instead of fabric softener. There is no instruction anywhere to wash the romper before first wear, which is the one thing missing from an otherwise complete care section. - Transparency & Support: 90/100. Fibre content (97% cotton, 3% spandex), fabric weight (310 GSM) and place of making (designed in Florida, manufactured in India) are all published. Independent write-ups repeat the India manufacturing; the mill and the factory itself are not named. - Hardware & Print Safety: 88/100. The single closure is a named 2-way YKK zipper, the garment is tagless, and the prints use water-based, AZO-free dyes rather than a thick raised plastisol, with formaldehyde and phthalates also absent. The disclosure stops short of the hardware itself: there is no nickel-free or lead-free statement for the zipper and no heavy-metal migration results. ## Certifications - GOTS Certified Organic (issued by Global Organic Textile Standard). GOTS certification verifies that a textile product's organic fibre content and its full processing supply chain meet defined organic, environmental and social criteria. Not covered: This certification addresses organic fibre content, processing chemicals and supply-chain conditions; it is not a general product safety, flammability, or choking-hazard test. - Fair Trade Certified (issued by Fair Trade USA / Fairtrade International). Fair Trade Certified verifies that a product's supply chain met third-party standards for farmer/worker treatment and trade practices, such as fair pricing and safe conditions. Not covered: This certification addresses labor and trade practices in the supply chain; it does not test or certify the safety, quality, or materials of the finished product itself. These certifications are held by the brand or manufacturer, not by Birch. We show them because the brand states them for this product. ## Specifications - Fabric Composition: 97% GOTS certified organic cotton, 3% spandex - Fabric Weight: 310 GSM - Free Of: AZO dyes, flame retardants, PFAS, phthalates, formaldehyde - Care: Machine wash on gentle cycle, do not bleach, iron on cool, tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly - Country of Manufacture: India ## Size guide - Newborn — HEIGHT (in inches): 17 - 21; WEIGHT (in pounds): 5 - 8; CHEST (in inches): 13 - 15 - 0-3M — HEIGHT (in inches): 21 - 24; WEIGHT (in pounds): 8 - 13; CHEST (in inches): 15 - 17 - 3-6M — HEIGHT (in inches): 24 - 27; WEIGHT (in pounds): 13 - 18; CHEST (in inches): 17 - 18 - 6-12M — HEIGHT (in inches): 27 - 30; WEIGHT (in pounds): 18 - 22; CHEST (in inches): 18 - 19 - 12-18M — HEIGHT (in inches): 30 - 33; WEIGHT (in pounds): 22 - 26; CHEST (in inches): 19 - 19 1/2 - 18-24M — HEIGHT (in inches): 33 - 35; WEIGHT (in pounds): 26 - 29; CHEST (in inches): 19 1/2 - 20 1/2 - 2 - 3T — HEIGHT (in inches): 35 - 38; WEIGHT (in pounds): 29 - 32; CHEST (in inches): 20 1/2 - 21 - 3 - 4T — HEIGHT (in inches): 38 - 41; WEIGHT (in pounds): 32 - 36; CHEST (in inches): 21 - 22 - 4 - 5T — HEIGHT (in inches): 41 - 44; WEIGHT (in pounds): 36 - 41; CHEST (in inches): 22 - 23 - 5 - 6T — HEIGHT (in inches): 44 - 46 1/2; WEIGHT (in pounds): 41 - 46; CHEST (in inches): 23 - 24 Every child is unique!
