notes from the nursery: i want candy!
Mia is a pacifier addict, so it naturally follows that a pacifier clip would be her favorite accessory (aside from her mom, natch). Without one, the Gerber self-soother would end up in a pile of dog fur on the dirty floor. But as far as aesthetic value is concerned, the $2 clips you’ll find at Target and Babies R Us, in short, suck. That’s why I love this candy necklace-inspired clip ($14) from the mom-and-pop BinkLink —check out their little cowpoke and peas & carrots designs, too. My baby is far too young for real candy, but this is one addiction that both she and I can stomach. — Megan K.

The candy pacifier clips are definitely the way to go…especially if you are in for a car ride or need something to occupy your baby’s time in the stroller.

I remember those beloved candy necklaces. Yum! What cool retro babywear.

I bet Mia was disappointed when she found out the candy necklace wasn’t real.

Not to be Debbie Downer…but that looks like a major choking hazard.

We would never clip it on her at night for fear of that. And by day she’s on our watch at all times…

Megan,
Please do NOT use this for a small child under 3 years old. If those beads separate and the child swallows them they are nearly impossible to removed from the throat and can cause death or severe brain damage. There is an easy way to tell if an object is too small or dangerous- if it fits in the end of a standard roll of toilet paper is is not appropriate for children under 3.

Hmm, not trying to start an argument, but the Caution/Testing area says “Not intended for use as a toy.” Forgive me, but I work at a company that overseas the licensing & manufacturing of (literally) thousands of children’s toys and products year, and this would never be approved.
