Chicco’s Latex Rubber

The Best for your Baby’s Mouth!

Having excellent softness, resilience, elasticity and warmth carrying properties, latex rubber is particularly suited for favouring the healthy and correct development of baby’s mouth and meeting his natural sucking needs.

Natural Material

Latex rubber comes from the latex extracted from the hebea brasilientis, the rubber tree.  It is a natural product that is particularly appreciated for it’s excellent elasticity and softness.  Close control of raw material sources combined with an exclusive production process, designed and developed in Italy, make Chicco latex rubber and products developed using it unique.

All Chicco products made using natural latex rubber have been tested in vitro and clinics and are free of all common agents causing allergic reactions.

Softness

A baby will instinctively seek the softest contact.  Teats and soothers must be soft to ensure a pleasant and natural contact with baby’s lips and to optimally fit the shape of the mouth.  Latex rubber is ideal since it is so soft it only needs minimal pressure to be compressed.  Therefore, it allows for a better fit in the mouth, has a soft touch and will not upset baby, making sucking the soother pleasant for baby.

Safety for both baby and mum

Latex rubber used to make Chicco soothers and teats are safe because the special structure resists baby’s bites, even when he cuts his first teeth.  Safety standards of Chicco soothers and teats are actually higher than safety requirements laid down by technical regulations in force in Europe.  

Ideal Use

Chicco products made in latex rubber can be safely sterilized through boiling or by cold sterilization.  As with all natural products, Chicco products made in latex rubber are best preserved by following a few simple rules.  Light, heat and humidity may alter physical-mechanical and safety features.  Therefore, do not expose to direct sunlight or heat sources and store in a cool and dry place.  Changes to colour and size during usage do not interfere with the basic product features.  It is however advisable to replace the product if major changes occur.
