6 of the best dummy clips for babies 2024
What is a dummy clip?
Also known as a soother clip or soother chain, they attach to the dummy and have a length of material which clips onto the baby’s clothes. They are used to prevent a baby from spitting out their dummy onto the floor. Instead, it will just hang from the fabric or chain. This will save you from having to wash and sterilise a soother multiple times a day and also prevent it from getting lost.Are dummy clips safe?
For them to be safe the material must be no longer than 22cm, have a minimum width of 6mm and be able to hold 10kg of weight. There should be no parts that can come off and prevent a choking hazard.
For a dummy clip to meet all these requirements it has to pass the British safety standard of EN 12586:2007. Look out for this on the packaging.
Even for these, a dummy clip should never be worn by a child when you are not being supervised. For example, they should be taken off at night or if you can’t see them in their car seat.

Some baby products are useful for longer than others. If you’re in two minds about whether to buy something, it can be worth considering its lifespan.
