Baby Strollers Safety Tips

With your first kid, there is indeed a lot to remember.  Buying a stroller is almost certainly going to be on your list, so here are a few safety measures to keep in mind when shopping for and using one:

Here are some safety tips:

Keep a close eye on things

 Don’t leave your child unsupervised with her or his stroller unless you are nearby.

Take care when playing with toys

 If you attach toys from the bumper bar of your stroller to keep your baby entertained, please ensure that perhaps the toys are firmly attached to the bumper bar.

Fasten your seatbelts

When taking your baby for a stroller ride, make sure that his or her strap and seat belt are properly fastened.

Make use of your brakes

 When you come to a complete stop with your stroller, engage the stroller brakes. Never leave the stroller parked on a sloping surface.

Keep your belongings in a safe place

Do not mount a backpack from the handlebar of the stroller, as this can cause the stroller to tip over.

When folding, exercise caution

 Maintain a safe distance between your baby and the stroller while you access and fold it. Small fingers can become entangled in the stroller’s hinges. Before you keep your kids in the stroller, double-check that the door is locked open.

Hold out of the direct sunlight

 Don’t leave your baby’s stroller out in the sun for extended periods during hot weather conditions. If you plan to leave the stroller out in the sun, make sure to check the temperature of the stroller’s surface before putting your child in the stroller.
