Buying a safe high chair for your little one
A high chair is often considered a must-have baby product by many parents. After all, many babies spend a lot of time both eating and playing in their high chairs.But ensuring you keep your little one safe while he or she is in a high chair must be a priority. According to Health.Discovery.com, thousands of children are treated in emergency rooms each year because of injuries sustained in high chairs.
In fact, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recently announced that Ikea recalled 169,000 baby high chairs sold in the U.S. and Canada over reports that the safety belts can open unexpectedly.
This most recent recall isn't an isolated incident, as several well-known manufactures have issued high chair recalls in the past.
Parents can ensure their little ones stay safe in their high chairs by always buckling them and never using the tray as a restraint.
In addition, the CPSC recommends that those who are buying a used high chair check the condition of the straps and make sure they are working properly. If the chair does not have the adequate straps, consumers are urged to contact the product's manufacturer.
Those shopping for used baby gear of any sort should only purchase items from a reputable dealer and thoroughly check items for defects and missing pieces. It's also advised that parents check the CPSC website to ensure that the products they purchase for their children have not been recalled.
