Safety advice needs to be specific enough to use. This collection explains sleep environments, household hazards, water and car seats, with links to the original pediatric and public safety guidance.
Understand the sleep surface, position and environment for an infant. The guide also addresses common questions and the arrangements needed when several adults care for a baby.
As children reach, move and climb, the things they can access change. Explore room-by-room hazards, furniture, cords, hot items and small objects, then use a checklist to record changes that need attention.
Storage and care handoffs matter in your home and when visiting others. Learn where to find official poison prevention information and how to obtain timely help if an exposure is suspected.
Bathrooms, pools and outdoor water have different hazards. The water guide explains supervision arrangements and why lessons or equipment do not replace an adult's responsibility.
Choose a child restraint using the child's size and the manufacturer's instructions. Find official installation guidance, recall information and a route to trained local help.
Include safety arrangements when another adult takes over care. A short handoff can name the sleep space, relevant instructions and emergency contacts; it does not replace a clinician's or product manufacturer's directions.
