Pacifier Clip: The Change of Heart
Yes... That pacifier clip I called useless!
Remember last month when I wrote up my top 10 useless baby products? Well in a review for a side-project I work on, I was asked to review the BooginHead Pacigrip which is a pacifier clip.
Originally I wasn’t going to give it a fair chance, I mean I already made such a bold statement about it when I said it was downright useless. But then my friend Courtney convinced me they are a huge lifesaver.
I put it on Addie, and let her wear it for the entire day clipping it to anything she wore, bibs, outfits… or a onsie, and I gave it a real good college try.
By the end of the day I thought to myself… how have I made it through two other kids without using this thing?
While I may not be impressed with the look of it, even with the super cute chocolate brown and pink polka dot design, a personal favorite of mine… I found it amazingly helpful in not losing the BornFree pacifier my daughter thinks is something she can’t live without.
Yes, the baby I couldn’t even get to take a pacifier three months ago. Now if the one pacifier that is popular in our house goes missing… I literally cry because I know she will not only be upset when it comes time to take a nap, but it is the only kind she will take. All the other pacifiers we have laying around the house can’t hold a candle to her favorite purple paci.
Which is why I find the pacigrip to be such a lifesaver. No more panic when Addie is laying on the pacifier in the swing or one of her brothers hid it under the couch or in their toy box. Seriously!
I have to say thank you to all the readers who commented on my useless baby products post and told me how helpful the pacifier clip was! I am right there on team pacifier clip with you now!

Tarah commented on Sep 15 11 at 11:41 amMy son wouldn’t take a pacifier til he was 4 months old. And unfortunately weaned himself off of it, if you can call it that, when he was 6 months old. But for those 2 months the pacifier clip was a life saver. We were sold on it the first day, bfore we even owned one. We were at a concert and he kept spitting the pacifier out and away it would roll down to the next row. And at home he would spit it out and it would inevitably roll under the couch for some reason and end up with dog hair on it.
