Bug a Lug Baby

We have had so many requests for a smaller clip for younger babies. So Bugalug has been doing a TON of research, trying to come up with the perfect solution. In our research, however, it occurred to us that perhaps a smaller clip is not the best solution, as a smaller clip is obviously geared for smaller children (under 3) and it is obviously a serious choking hazard.

We had received information from Health Canada that the hair clips would in fact fall under the category of "toys" which meant that they would be deemed unsafe as they are too small to be used on babies. We have recently been informed by Snugglebug Baby Bows that they are working hard with Health Canada to make sure they meet and exceed all Health Canada regulations. Kudos! I'm interested to hear what the outcome will be (hopefully she was able to speak with someone who knows what they are talking about!)

Either way, for now, we will not add embellishments to our clips, as we are still concerned with your child's safety, and those small embellishments could be removed and become a choking hazard. For this same reason, we are putting off producing a smaller clip as we want to provide the highest quality, safest product we can for our customers. We have even made our headbands 2 inches longer, which allows you to tie a knot at the ends to prevent the toggle from falling off. (we are working on an even better method too!)

I hope this information has not confused or concerned too many parents. This was information I had been given and I wanted to pass it along so parents could make informed decisions.

So, when you are choosing your clips, whether they are Bugalug or another great brand, make sure you are looking closely at the safety and quality of the product to protect your little one from any harm. We are please to recommend www.snugglebugbabybows.ca in the meantime.

Take care,

The Bugalug Team.
