When you are a new parent, or even a seasoned parent for that matter, you are constantly on the lookout for ways that your child can hurt themselves. You watch the stairs and block them off with baby gates, you make sure cords are out of reach and that baby can’t grab any hot liquids. You are constantly on the watch and there is a very good reason why you are.
That vigilance for safety is also seen in the toys that a parent will buy for their baby and everyone at Kimmy’s Shop is just as focused on safety as the parents who shop here. We are worried about the overall safety of children and make sure that we offer parents the support they need to keep their little bundles safe.
And that brings us to today’s post, safety with baby seats and exersaucers, which are a very popular toy that you can purchase to keep your baby entertained for a few minutes of each day. While they can be a lot of enjoyment, especially seats like the Fisher-Price Song and Story Learning Chair, there are a few safety concerns that you should be aware of before you purchase.
Tip Number One:
Make sure the toy has a firm base. One of the most common accidents with exersaucers and baby chairs is that they tip over. When they do tip over, baby goes for a tumble and this can lead to serious injuries so it is very important that no matter what type of seat you are buying.
Tip Number Two:
Limit the amount of time your baby is in the toy. This is a very important tip since studies have shown that the prolonged use of exersaucers can cause delays in development. By keeping the time short, you can make sure that your baby gets just enough time in the exersaucer without hurting their development in any way. For even more security in your baby’s development, you can purchase a Three Stages Super Seat, so baby has all the benefits of an exersaucer without a lot of the negatives.
Tip Number Three:
Keep seats on the floor. While it may be tempting to place baby in the Three Stages Super Seat and then sit them up on a table beside you, it is much better to keep baby on the floor. Your baby’s movements can send the seat sliding around, which can result in a serious fall. In addition, keep the seat away from stairs or counters since seats offer your child extra height for reaching.
Tip Number Four:
Check for recalls. The last tip that I am going to mention with exersaucers is to make sure that you really watch for recalls. Being aware of the recalls can make a lot of difference and you will be ready to either return your toy to the manufacturer or order the safety product that will fix any problems. So whether you are purchasing the Three Stages Super Seat or the Fisher-Price Song and Story Learning Chair, keep an eye on those recall lists.
