Maybe youre a manner of Babywearing International or attend a babywearing group? Heres what theyre saying about BCIA and regulation: (Short: we support the standards as an alternative to mass recall/potential banning, go become a member of BCIA) Babywearing International, Inc. as an organization holds an official voting membership in both the ASTM and BCIA. These organizations, along with a number of carrier manufacturers, retailers, and educators, have spent several years drafting voluntary safety standards which allow the continued sale and import of slings and wraps in the United States. Without regulation, the entire product category would be at risk of mass recall and potential ban. As such, we support the voluntary standard and its proposed acceptance by the CPSC. We strive to add an educational and outreach component to this standard in order to make safe babywearing a reality to more families, but we need to make it clear that carrier instructions can be made in such a way as to prevent most user error. At this time, we encourage our educators NOT to comment on the standard and to pass the same message along to their groups. If you wish to help please consider becoming a member of the BCIA. You may purchase a personal, supporting membership at their website, here: babycarrierindustryalliance.org/. Please do note that the website has been intermittently down due to high traffic.
