Testimonials
Linnea from the BCIA has been an absolute Godsend! As a fairly new industry member, having to navigate through the extensive and specific compliance requirements can be extremely daunting and quickly “take the wind out of your sails”. The level of knowledge and information provided to me was invaluable and a key factor in the success of my pullover baby wrap carrier. It is very reassuring to have a professional “body” to help support the babywearing industry by offering updated resources, discounts, education, and information on the current state of the industry. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, a thousand times THANK YOU for everything you have done to support me and my business.
Hugging Hazel
As a micro-business, the services I get through my membership are invaluable, from warning labels to registration card processing — all things I wouldn’t be able to source myself for a reasonable price at the lower volumes I need. The information about compliance — and the fact that BCIA has been fighting to allow small businesses to exist in the current regulatory climate — is indispensable. I wouldn’t even consider a babywearing business without being a BCIA member.
Sleeping Baby Productions
I joined the BCIA initially for the concentrated info, and it helped me figure out what I needed. I renewed my membership because I want to stay up to date on the goings on in the industry, and I feel it lends credibility to my company that I am a part of it. That I want to be safe and up to date. I’m very thankful that BCIA exists! I don’t know that I would be where I’m at without it.
Business Member
The BCIA is a beacon in the babywearing industry. They provide invaluable resources, a welcoming community, and leadership on pertinent issues for educators, retailers, manufacturers –and most importantly–consumers. Thank you for all you do.
I wish I had joined BCIA a long time ago, because the amount of support I have received from them is enormous. Any questions I have had, have been addressed promptly. As a new, and very small manufacturing company, the whole process can be daunting but having BCIA’s support has helped streamline the process of getting my product out to the market.

![How did you feel the first time you tried babywearing? 👀 When trying out a carrier with a baby for the first time, it is important to remain calm and collected. I know, Easier said than done, but crucial nonetheless. Your babe is an extension of you, now more than any other time in your relationship. They can sense your nervousness or have anxiety and will respond to match those emotions. So when you can’t reach the damn strap or get their tiny little leg stuck on some fabric, breathe. 🕊️ Take a deep breath and start over.
