The device includes a housing having a rear face with a clip thereon for releasably securing the housing to a child's clothing or other article which is convenient to the user. An elongate cord includes a proximal end secured to a spring biased roller within the housing. The cord extends through a channel in the housing and out through an opening in the side of the housing to a free distal en d portion which includes a fastener for securing the distal end portion to a pacifier. In a relaxed state, the spring biased roller maintains the cord wound thereabout so that the distal end portion of the cord and attached pacifier are adjacent the housing. Upon pulling the distal end portion and pacifier away from the housing, to thereby unwind the cord from the roller, a recoil tension is placed on the roller, urging the roller in the opposite rotational direction thereby retracting the cord into the housing so that the distal end portion and pacifier are brought back to the housing once the pacifier is removed from the child's mouth.
