September is National Baby Safety Month and I have some tips from parenting expert Rosie Pope:
- No outerwear in car seats as fall approaches (specs not made for this so compression in accident can cause car seat ejection)
- No accessories on a car seat (injury and again car seats not designed to be safe with accessories - testing done with out) - many gadgets to entertain or for comfort are on the market for sale
- No snacking while cars are in motion (choking) and difficult to pull over to perform CPR
- No bumpers on cribs (suffocation)
- No laying on a changing table with out using security strap (falling injury)
- Rubber bands and balloons are some of the worst things to choke on as almost impossible to get up - be sure never to leave lying around of let little ones try and blow up balloons for parties - plus remove from all mail in your mailbox as often rubber banded together
- No walking/running with a toothbrush - get your kids to sit down to brush eg kitchen table or lie on the bed
- Do get a nozzle cover for your bath as kids usually at head height and can fall back or hit when playing
- Never put your baby in he bath without checking temperature on sensitive part of your body eg underside if wrist - your toe or finger is too tough
- Don't bathe or shower your kids in a lightening storm
- Inspect and replace bike helmets after crash or when foam is crushed. Regular inspection needed as kids may have not realized they hit it - same goes for throwing helmets
