All you need to know about pacifier clips
Indispensable for parents' peace of mind and reassuring for babies, discover the essential family accessory. Babies show a taste for sucking from birth, and in fact, 80% of children under the age of 3 use a pacifier. To prevent your child from misplacing his pacifier, the pacifier clip is just the accessory he needs. Here are a few tips to bear in mind before equipping your child with a pacifier clip: The pacifier clip should be no longer than 22 cm. When putting your child to bed, remove the pacifier clip to avoid accidents. If you notice any wear, discontinue use. Usually,
pacifier clips are fitted with a fastening system. These may include non-slip clips, press studs or metal fasteners. There are many different types of pacifier clip to choose from, all of which will appeal to your toddler and accompany him on all his escapades.
Childcare products: standards in France
There are a number of safety precautions you need to take to avoid problems of any kind. Chewing, sucking or sucking can sometimes cause problems, as your child may unknowingly ingest harmful substances. This is why the NF EN71-3 standard, enabling the control of chemical components contained in materials linked to the manufacture of toys or other baby-related items, was published by the CEN.TC 52 Technical Committee in 2013. This standard ensures that manufacturers can be sure of the reliability of their products, and this is what we apply in our process. Other standards, such as DIN 53160-1/-2, have been introduced to ensure the peace of mind of parents and babies. This standard covers object-proof testing, particularly in terms of color retention. This test is important for the product's durability, to avoid any risks due to baby's saliva or sweat.
Nipple attachment materials
Nipple attachments are made from a wide range of materials, so there's an infinite choice to suit baby's needs and desires. The most commonly used material for pacifier clips is metal, for its durability despite rust. Another sturdy material that doesn't rust is stainless steel. As for the cord, cotton, wood, silicone, nylon and leather are all used. The vintage and authentic look of wood is not the only advantage of this material. In fact, sturdiness is a major argument, given that our toddlers like to chew and throw their toys. Wood is also a health ally, as it is not harmful to children, provided it is of high quality. Wooden toys and accessories are also environmentally friendly. This noble material enables toys and accessories to last longer than their plastic counterparts. Like wood, fabric is one of the most durable materials. In fact, fabric toys and accessories don't break, but wear more slowly. The health and safety of our children are two of our core concerns. Choosing materials that have undergone little or no processing is a guarantee of quality and safety. Natural materials may also have undergone chemical treatment, and we need to be careful with varnishes and paints, as well as the glue used, as these chemical substances can be harmful. Some materials, such as aluminum and zinc, should be avoided at all costs!
Environmentally-friendly materials
A number of materials are therefore used in the composition of a pacifier clip. Nevertheless, wood is the most sustainable material. The PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes) and FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) labels validate the idea of a material that promotes sustainable development and respects the environment. In fact, in the manufacture of the pacifier clip, the PEFC label calls for the non-use of products that could prove toxic, notably through the use of insecticides; a criterion that promotes baby's safety. But that's not all! All our products are Made in France and environmentally friendly.

But there's another advantage that some people don't notice at first sight: when used as a teething object, your baby can chew to teethe without any risk, thanks to the standards that have been applied. In fact, in the manufacture of the pacifier clip, the PEFC label calls for the non-use of products that could prove toxic, notably through the use of insecticides; a criterion that promotes baby's safety.
