Staying safe
More than half of all accidents that happen to children under the age of 5 years occur in the home. The peak age for accident-prone behavior is around 2 years, but babies enter the danger zone at around 9 months when they become mobile. In the early days, your baby needs complete protection. You need to develop a watchful caring eye, but safety equipment gives you extra peace of mind by protecting your little one in potentially dangerous areas such as the kitchen.
The most important thing you ever buy your child is likely to be a child car seat. When you buy your car seat, ask a qualified shop assistant to check that the seat is suitable for your car and is fitted correctly. Research shows that up to 80 per cent of child car seats are not fitted properly, leaving many children extremely vulnerable.
