DON'T LEAVE KIDS IN HOT CARS!

Safe Kids urges parents and caregivers to never leave children or pets alone in an unattended car.  Cars can heat up extremely quickly, in even mild heat, and cracking the windows doesn't really help.
 

RECALLS!
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a warning on drop-side cribs on May 7th.  There have also been recent recalls of the "Slingrider" and "Wendy Bellismo" infant slings by Infantino, as well as the Evenflo Top-of-Stair(tm) Plus Wood Gates.  Additionally, a few weeks ago, the CPSC sent out a warning advising parents and caregivers to be cautious when using cling carriers for infants younger than 4 months.    
 
DID YOU KNOW CAR SEATS EXPIRE?
Car seats, like other consumer products, have an expiration date.  Look at the back or bottom of your car seat to find out when your car seat can no longer be used!
