"Madami namang mas mura online! Halos kamukha din ng mga recommended brands."
So why are we so adamant on recommending safety-tested brands? What sets these carriers apart?
1️⃣ QUALITY - Safety-testing is not just about the durability of a carrier, but also ensuring that it's free from harmful substances that it may come into contact with during production. Subpar factories can make cheap carriers because there are no quality & sanitation protocols. All parts of a safety-tested carrier, even down to the stitches, are evaluated to pass testing.
2️⃣ WARRANTY - There may be instances where a safety-tested carrier can have issues (loose stitch, defective buckles, etc) but most of the time, these can be resolved by reaching out to the brand. Some companies even send a brand new replacement as long as it falls within the warranty policy. You won't get this customer service with untested carriers since they usually have a window of only 7 days or none at all.
3️⃣ ACCOUNTABILITY - A "good" baby brand holds themself to a higher standard since they are making products intended for babies. Most of our PH based carrier brands even offer free fit consultations so you can use your carrier correctly and safely.
4️⃣ PEACE OF MIND - We recently posted about the dangers of untested carriers and a parent shared their experience of one such carrier that suddenly unbuckled and baby fell on the pavement. :( Thank goodness baby was brought to the ER immediately and was assessed to be ok but the panic and worry the parents experienced must've been unimaginable. While these instances may be rare, the risks can definitely be reduced with safety-tested carriers.
We fully acknowledge that parents will always have the freedom to choose what is best for their babies and that we are here as guides only.
That is why we do not force our advocacy on anyone but we will always be open to help parents who seek guidance on safe, ergonomic and proper babywearing. 🩷
