Babble Best: Organic Onesies

Kate Quinn Long-Sleeved Kimono Onesie, from Nubius Organics — $18

Like our Babble Best pick, this ingeniously designed one-piece literally wraps around the baby, so there's no need to pull any fabric over her fidgety upper body. Everything stays in place with reinforced snaps. The two-tone kimono styling is adorable and distinctive, and the sophisticated color palate pleasingly unisex. Kate Quinn baby clothes are made from 100% certified organic cotton, produced using sustainable farming practices. Oh, and they're machine washable.

Robot Onesie by Hardboiled, from Elsewares — $24

American Apparel T-shirts have long been a staple of indie bands and D.I.Y. silkscreeners, thanks to their reliable fit and sweatshop-free manufacturing. So it's not surprising that American Apparel's organic cotton onesies pop up everywhere these days, customized with artsy embellishments like embroidery and screen printing. Of all the designs we've seen on these onesies, the "robot" by Hardboiled is our absolute favorite. The three-color print features a retro robot chugging along, leaving a trail of nuts and bolts in his wake — including a few scattered on the baby's back. It's clever, cute, and a fine example of Hardboiled's streetwise style.

Kee-ka Organic Bodysuit — $24

We've noticed these onesies on display in several store windows in Soho , and they always catch our eye. Their signature design — a baby nickname accompanied by a single image — is appealing in its simplicity (not to mention that we know dozens of baby "peanuts," "monkeys" and "cupcakes" whose parents would love them). Brooklyn-based company Kee-Ka is also known for its packaging: every piece comes in a recycled, ready-to-mail box labeled "Wearable Greetings." They're a great way to send your blessings to a long-distance baby shower.

B Nature Longsleeve Interlock Bodysuit — $16-$17

If you're truly hardcore about your organics, look no further than B Nature. This new women-owned business uses fair-trade, undyed organic cotton – it's actually "color-grown" to produce variations in hue. These onesies are no-frills affairs, but their "exclusive" flat seams are comfy, and the cleverly designed sleeves stay rolled. We also like the interlock fabric, which is more substantial than standard cotton and will insulate better in the cooler seasons.
