Great advice as families are looking for sales

Looking for Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals? Be mindful of where you shop. There are plenty of vendors online selling unregulated car seats that could compromise your child's safety. Shopping with reputable, recognizable retailers is your best bet when buying a federally approved car seat.

If you are traveling by air this week, please be sure to secure your child in a car seat approved by the FAA for use on airplanes. Children are not secure on laps in an airplane any more than they are in a car. Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving week!

It’s that time of year for toy shopping. Here are some tips to think about as you find that perfect gift.

-Keep stuffed toys and other objects like quilts, pillows, etc out of cribs of sleeping infants and younger children. They can roll their faces against these objects and it can obstruct their breathing
-Small parts either from toys or other objects found around the home can pose a risk to children under age 3 and older children who mouth items. Keep these items away from children
-For children under 18 months, avoid toys with strings, straps, or cords longer than 12 inches
-Inspect toys at the store. Look for sturdy parts that can stand up to the rigors of play. Always check the age label on a toy to be sure if it is right for your child.
-Second hand and hand me down products should be carefully inspected for wear and tear, breakage, sharp edges, etc. Check the recall information to be sure you are not using a recalled product
-Consider placing vintage or collectible toys out of the reach of children as they may not complay with current safety standards
-Remove and discard all packaging from a toy before giving it to a baby or small child
-Read instructions for assembly and use. For children too young to read, demonstrate for them how to safely play with the toy
-Complete and return warranty cards which are used if a recall is issued
