Safety Tips

Falls Safety

  • Keep chairs, cribs and other furniture away from windows.
  • Don't leave a baby alone on a changing table, bed, couch or other furniture. Keep one hand on the baby while changing diapers.
  • Always strap a baby into a high chair, swing, changing table or strollers.
  • Get rid of hazards in the home like folded carpets, electric wires or cords on the floor, and unlit stairways.
  • Teach children to use playgrounds or playing fields with rubber, wood, mulch or sand surfaces. Grass and dirt are not as good at preventing serious injuries. Avoid asphalt.
  • Use safety gates or other barriers at the top and bottom of stairs.
