One of the greatest investments that parent make is to pick the right car seat for their baby. 5 percent of the time, according to a 2005 study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This study claims that the parents who meant well subjected their child to a potential amount of harm by not restraining their child in a proper fashion. Problems were discovered in the looseness of both the safety belts and the harness straps. These mistakes, the ones that almost every parent makes, are the ones that the NHTSA say can be the most ‘critical.

When buying a car seat, parents want to get the very best item to protect their baby. Although parents obviously are putting forth the protection to keep their child safe, many are doing it incorrectly, as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration discovered that almost 4 in every five cases of them misused the safety seats they placed their child in. By failing to properly use the safety restraints, the study reports, many parents unknowingly put their child in peril. Typically, the biggest mistakes were loose harness straps and safety belt attachments. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration calls these misuses ‘critical’ because they can cause some of the greatest potential for injury.

What to look for when buying a stroller

Brakes: The effectiveness of the brakes and their engagement is vital. Look for rear brakes on both wheels that are foot-operated and linked, so the left and right brakes can be activated by a single lever rather than applied individually. Get an idea of how well they work by applying the brakes and then trying to push the handle. Check that they actively lock into position. Foot-operated brakes mean you don’t have to bend down, but make sure you can access them easily.

Choosing a Stroller

Strollers and prams are involved in the most number of childhood injuries caused by nursery furniture. Injuries are usually caused by the child falling from the stroller/pram or the stroller/pram tipping backwards.

During the early years of life children spend a lot of time in strollers and prams. For this reason, it is important to choose items that are safe, comfortable and durable.  Injuries involving strollers and prams are usually caused by the child falling from the stroller/pram or the stroller/pram tipping backwards because it is overloaded. Although it is tempting to hang shopping bags on the handles, this can cause serious accidents.

Baby strollers

Dorel Juvenile Group USA, of Columbus, Ind., is recalling 300,000 Cosco “Rock’N Roller” baby strollers because the seat can partially detach from the frame during use if the stop pins are bent or missing or the seat is not fully attached. The infant then can be injured in a fall.

Seventy-seven incidents and injuries have been reported, including a slight concussion, a cut requiring stitches, and bumps and bruises.
