Baby Safety Month

For over 20 years, September has been designated as Baby Safety Month by its sponsor, the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA).

 

The JPMA chooses a different safety-related topic each year. This year, the topic is the safe use of second-hand, hand-me-down and heirloom baby gear.

 

Here are some some basic guidelines to make sure you don't sacrifice safety for price.
