How Poppy Seat Began
The Poppy brand was established in 2015 when Ivy was taking care of her infant daughter and found that she had a problem every time she put her child into a high chair at public eateries.
“I was concerned about the bad hygiene of public high chairs and shopping carts. It is a big hassle to clean and wipe down the whole chair and tabletop or shopping cart while trying to take care of an active child at the same time. I noticed that I wasn’t alone with this problem, I frequently saw many other parents struggling with the same thing! That’s what gave me the idea to create an accessory that can give all parents an easier way to protect their child from dirty public high chairs and shopping carts.”
Innovation Inspired by Practical Needs
With that goal in mind, Ivy started the development process first by drawing designs, then tested them using multiple prototypes in order to determine the optimal features, material, and size. In the end, the first Poppy Seat Cover was created.
“We didn’t stop there, not only did we want Poppy Seat Cover to be of great use, we also wanted it to be fun to use for the children. Therefore, we designed multiple character patterns such as with red monsters, yellow frogs, blue owls, gray foxes and yellow animals. All Poppy Seat Cover models received rave reviews!”
And thus, “Poppy Seat Cover is a product from mum to mum (and dad also),” said Ivy.
To Standards and Beyond
Ivy and team worked carefully for the design quality and material search to meet US and EU safety regulations and standards. “We want to meet and exceed the standard required, and also consumer expectations. We welcome and listen to customers’ feedback, and use these to continue to analyze for ways we can improve our design and manufacturing processes.”
The vision the company has for Poppy Seat is to promote healthy living for young families, and bring more convenience and joy to them. Also, they envision to be an international brand.
“Quality Assurance is our top value,” said Ivy. “Our mission is to become parents’ most trusted brand. Since the beginning, when we first started the Poppy brand, we focus on what parents look for and need, and we use these in guiding the direction of our product design and development.”
Poppy Seat Uniqueness
