September is Baby Safety Month. The Juvenille Products Manufactures Association (JPMA) has sponsored it yearly for 24 years. The JPMA has created a non-manufacturer specific brochure called ‘Safe & Sound for Baby’ to guide parents and care givers in baby product safety, use and selection. It covers Bassinets/Cradles, Bath Seats, Carriages and Strollers, Carriers/Swings, Car Seats/Boosters, Changing Tables, Cribs, Gates/Enclosures, High Chairs, Infant Seats/Bouncers, Play Yards, Bed Rails, Hook-On Chairs, Activity Centers, Toddler Beds, Walkers, Crib Toys/Pacifiers and a list of Household Dangers. It has a lot of good information about product selection that I wanted to pass along. Click Here to view the online version.
