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.

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.

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.
