Baby Carriers

While a baby carrier can be a big help to parents, it also can cause serious injuries if the child accidentally falls out or is knocked down from a high place. Here are a few tips to help avoid injury.

• Always secure a child in a baby carrier with the safety strap.
• Never leave a child alone while in a baby carrier. Take her with you if you must leave the room.
• Avoid placing a baby carrier on or close to the edge of a table or other high surfaces.
• Watch your baby carefully when other children or animals are present.
• Never use a baby carrier as a car seat.
