Crib Information Center

Sadly we are faced with too many crib, play yard, walker, bassinet, stroller, high chair recalls to keep track of by ourselves.  Fortunately The Consumer Products Safety Commission has it all organized for us.  Please check their website for an up to date, organized presentation of baby equipment recalls.  Names, manufacturers, model numbers, pictures - it's all there.  Check on the equipment your baby is using at your house, Grandma's house, day care or church to see if any of it has been recalled because of questions about its safety.

Baby Sling Concerns

You don't have to stop "wearing" your baby.  Just be aware of the dangers and use your well developed mommy common sense.  Baby upright and tummy to tummy with mom is the preferred way (wraps might work best for this).  Slings that allow baby to roll up into a chin to chest position have the potential to occlude the airway.  So closeness with the baby is a beautiful nurturing opportunity but be safe about positioning and always protect baby's airway.

Baby Jogger City Mini Strollers Recalled

Yikes! The restraint buckle could break or unlatch allowing the baby to fall out! No injuries have been reported but now is a great time to check your equipment whether or not you use this particular brand. Inspect your jogger from time to time to make sure everything is secure and working as it should.

Play Yard Recall

Oh my goodness! Another baby play yard recall. Please check this link. With 1 million play yards being recalled, the chances are quite high that you own one of them.

Crib Recall

JARDINE has expanded its crib recall to include seven more models that pose entrapment and strangulation hazards. The cribs were sold between September 2005 and April 2009 at Toys R Us, Babies R Us, KidsWorld and Geoffrey Stores. Click on the title of this post to go to cpsc.gov for the complete details.

The cpsc.gov site also provides information on Bassinet, Crib and Play Yard recalls which have occurred over the last two years. Parents should always be vigilant about baby's safety. Get into the habit of looking at toys and baby equipment beyond how cute it looks and consider how it's going to hold up to daily use by your active, exploring, grabbing, reaching, mouthing, climbing, bouncing, jumping little one. Periodically inspect your baby gear to make sure nothing is loose, broken, frayed, coming apart or missing and regularly check the recalls - they seem to be happening with frightening frequency these days.

Yet Another Crib Recall

Bed should be the safest place for baby. We all strive to make that "environment" as safe as possible - a fitted sheet over the mattress and the baby on top placed on his back of course. No bumper pads, no blankets, no quilts or toys or pillows.

But what about the crib itself? Parents certainly need to inspect the crib periodically for loose screws, sharp stuff or gaps AND keep up with the recall status of their particular brand. The Consumer Products Safety Commission has just added 500,00 Stork Craft cribs to its list of possible entrapment and/or suffocation dangers to infants.

Check the website for all the particulars. The defect is something that can be remedied but you must request the part.
