Ethical Practices
Coast Kids, a two-person business, is dedicated to improving its social responsibilities by utilising QIMA, an independent product testing company, to ensure the quality of their products in China before release in Australia. This testing represents a significant investment for the small business. The brand maintains strong relationships with their manufacturers, prioritising small-scale factories over large operations, as many suppliers are considered like family, fostering a preferable model over being just another number in a large production setting.
Sustainable Practices
Coast Kids focuses on sustainability by using recycled or non-biodegradable materials to create products like hats, bags for beach toys and beach toys made from waste products, reusable materials and recycled plastic bottles. Their kites are specifically made from the fibers of recycled plastic bottles, addressing pollution in waterways. The Australian warehouse operates on a low-waste model, sourcing suppliers in China who avoid unnecessary plastic packaging and reusing boxes adorned with a "this box has been given a second life" sticker. They utilise compostable mailers and labels and are actively seeking more sustainable packaging methods as they expand.
Social Impact
Coast Kids donates to local schools and fundraisers, having supported two schools and one soccer club in their community to enhance extracurricular activities and aid the soccer club's recovery post-COVID. The founders actively volunteer as coaches and managers at local nippers, soccer and football clubs. In 2025, they plan to expand their social responsibility by donating a percentage of their products to support a global community and are currently identifying suitable organisations for this initiative.
Product Reviews by Experts
I really love how this hat just works for busy little ones who are always on the go. It’s super lightweight, dries quickly after water play and actually stays on thanks to the adjustable strap- huge win when your kid never stops moving. The material feels soft but sturdy and knowing it’s made from repurposed nylon that would’ve otherwise gone to waste makes me feel good about choosing it. It’s practical, cute and aligned with the kind of conscious choices I want to make for my family. You can really tell this brand is built by people who care. I love that they’re using recycled offcuts to make their hats and working closely with smaller factories instead of going down the mass production route. It feels really genuine, especially hearing how they donate imperfect products to local preschools and are involved in their own community as volunteers. The fact that they’re reusing packaging and sending out orders in compostable mailers shows they’re thinking about sustainability at every step, even if they’re still growing.
We absolutely loved this hat (both the kids and I)! What stood out the most was how lightweight and travel-friendly it was- it packed away easily without losing shape or structure. The water resistance made it practical for all kinds of weather and the vibrant colours were a hit with the kids. It felt durable yet playful and the unisex design makes it versatile for any child. I was genuinely impressed that Coast Kids goes the extra mile by sourcing independent testing for their products- this level of transparency is so important in today’s market. I also appreciated learning that the hats are made from regenerated nylon, which is diverted from landfill waste. For a small brand, that’s a powerful step toward circularity and meaningful impact. It’s clear that sustainability isn’t just a box ticked- it’s woven into the ethos of their brand!
I love the colours of the hat, reminds me straight away of being at the beach! I love the unisex design too! The love the material being regenerated nylon, making it water resistant! Love the adjustable clip at the back, it stays in place and doesn’t undo easily with little hands! Perfect fit for my 4 year olds head, he loves it! 10/10 I really like the brand’s commitment to sustainability, using recycled materials to create durable, kid-friendly products and run a low-waste operation with compostable packaging and reused boxes. I also love that they give back to local schools and sports clubs and personally volunteer in their community. It’s great to see a brand that genuinely cares and takes real action!
