Playground Safety for Babies

Keep these safety tips in mind as you take your baby to play on a playgroundLooking for a great activity for you and your baby? One of the best places to go is the playground. It’s fun, it’s free, and you’ll run into some other adults, which can be a nice change when you’ve been home alone with a baby. Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind while at the playground.

Top Safety Tips

  1. Once your baby has good head and neck control and can sit up without support (usually around 9 months old), give the infant bucket swing seats a try.
  2. For babies who are learning to crawl or walk, the play area should have a smooth surface that is free of debris.
