Infant Care

Keeping your baby safe, every day

The arrival of a new baby is always an exciting time. But more often than not, your child isn't the only new addition to the home -- parents have to deal with the introduction of many new pieces of infant equipment and accessories into their daily routine. If not used and cared for properly, these items can pose a variety of risks. From bottles and pacifiers to strollers and carriers, parents need to know what to look for when buying these accessories -- and more importantly, how to safely use them with their child.

Fast Facts

Carriages and strollers made before 1985 may not be up to current safety standards. To ensure your child's safety, do not buy these older items.
