It is every parent’s instinct to go above and beyond for the well-being of their children. As a result, many parents invest in high-quality baby products to ensure their little one’s comfort. However, the dangers of certain baby products are difficult to foresee and often end up causing unexpected mishaps. According to a 2019 report, injury remains the leading cause of death among children and teens nationwide. Here are some baby products that may pose safety hazards: Sling carriers Sling carriers are often popular choices among parents, particularly when traveling long distances. However, cases of suffocation caused by babies’ faces pressing against their parents’ bodies on sling carriers have increased. Thus, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) advises parents to be careful in their use of sling carriers. Drop-side cribs Drop-side cribs are illegal in the country, as they drop sideways and can injure and even kill infants. Traditional cribs are always better choices to avoid such accidents. Bathtub seats Bathtub seats can introduce some fun to babies’ bath time but may pose serious safety issues. The suction cups at the bottom of these seats may get detached while the child is seated, which may cause fatal injuries. There are also chances of the child falling off the seat and drowning in the bathtub if left unsupervised.
