With all the excitement of getting him in and out to see the animals, we forgot to buckle him back into his stroller. As I pushed the stroller down a hill, he slipped right out and landed on the asphalt.\u201d Luckily he was okay but Micaela became vigilant about double checking the stroller strap.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips for Preventing Falls to Keep Baby Safe<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-regular-font-size\">When using baby gear; strollers, swings, and high chairs, always strap baby in correctly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-regular-font-size\">Never put infant swings, bouncy chairs, or seats such as the Bumbo chair on a high surface. Always put them on the floor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-regular-font-size\">Always keep one hand on baby and be attentive when baby is on a higher surface such as a bed or changing table. Even babies that cannot fully roll over can roll and fall off beds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-regular-font-size\">Secure and lock all windows, and since mobile young children love to climb, be sure to move chairs and furniture away from windows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-regular-font-size\">Install safety guards on any high stair railings or balconies that baby could fall through.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-regular-font-size\">Babies and toddlers love stairs! Teach your child to go down the stairs backwards, and keep staircases free of clutter. Also, always use safety gates around stairs. When installing a safety gate at the top of the stairs, it is recommended to always attach the gate to the wall.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-regular-font-size\">This one is controversial but the AAP recommends parents pass on baby walkers and use stable activity centers instead.  In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has called for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthychildren.org\/English\/safety-prevention\/at-home\/Pages\/Baby-Walkers-A-Dangerous-Choice.aspx\" title=\"a ban\">a ban<\/a> on the manufacture and sale of baby walkers with wheels.\u00a0 This is because they put children at risk for injury and have no clear benefits. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-regular-font-size\">When using a stroller, avoid stairs or escalators. If stairs cannot be avoided, be sure to remove baby from the stroller. Then, have another individual carry the stroller or baby on the stairs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-regular-font-size\">Babywearing is convenient and soothing for babies. Be certain to follow the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions when using a carrier or wrap. &nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-regular-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The world is a new and exciting place for babies to explore, but by taking these precautions, you can make it a whole lot safer.
