Like My Prices – Baby Safety Information

A news article from the November Issue of “Pediatrics” contains information on a study of injuries caused when babies were taken out of the carseat and the carrier was placed on elevated surfaces, such as the table or kitchen counter.  The child can wiggle in the seat and in some cases it has overturned.  When a carseat does overturn, there are reports of mostly head injuries, but also broken limbs.  If it were to overturn on a soft surface, there is the danger of suffocation.

Baby safety in these situations can be ensured by taking a moment to think about where the baby is placed in the busy time of unloading the car after car travel.
