The Baby Carrier Industry Alliance exists to increase awareness of the value of quality baby carriers and to support those in the baby carrier industry. The BCIA was formed in 2010 as a 501(c)(6) corporation. As an alliance of industry leaders, the BCIA is organized to propagate standards across the industry, promote educational outreach, participate in research, and help small businesses comply with standards. We are passionate about babywearing and about the baby carrier industry. Everyone on the board has been or is a babywearing business owner or educator (or both!). We know how hard you all work on your business or as educators teaching others how to carry their children. It is our goal to serve the needs of babywearing businesses and educators, both large and small.
