September is National Baby Safety Month, a month annually dedicated to educating others on infant safety. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association works to inform parents and caregivers on the safe selection and use of juvenile products available. This month is a great time to share childproofing and home safety tips with others, so Car Donation Wizard has put together a list of some important safety tips.

Baby Safety Tips:

  • Baby-proof your house early in your pregnancy so you can include baby safety items on your registry.
  • Never leave your baby unattended during bath time. Babies can drown in as little as one inch of water.
  • Take your baby for regular medical checkups.
  • Secure heavy furniture, such as dressers, chests, and bookshelves, to the wall in order to prevent toppling over.
  • The backseat of a car is the safest place for children under 13 to ride.

Don’t forget to register your baby products. By doing so, parents establish a direct line of communication with the manufacturer. Products such as car seats can be recalled for a variety of reasons. Registering your car seat is only way you’ll be reached by the manufacturer in the event of your product being recalled. Protect your baby from SIDS by putting the baby to sleep on his/her back on a flat surface, such as a crib or bassinet that is covered only by a fitted sheet. Keep pillows, crib accessories, loose bedding, toys and other soft objects out of the baby’s crib.
