Every parent wants to protect their children and family to the best of their ability. Since E was an infant, My husband and I have taken precautions to protect our daughter.

| Our family! |
We have covered electrical outlets, made sure cabinets are locked and we keep potentially harmful items out of reach. We also baby proofed in other ways such as keeping child gates and by using edge and corner guards where needed. When E was born, we even purchased a brand new smoke and a carbon monoxide detector for our apartment.
We didn't get much use out of those outlet covers, safety gates, and cabinet locks when E was immobile but when she started to crawl then walk, we were glad to have them!
Huge thanks to The Big Toy Book Baby Palooza who provided me with a Swag Bag containing some products mentioned below!
Last week I had the opportunity to attend The Big Toy Book's Baby Palooza at the Delta Children headquarters in New York City which was hosted by Joey Fortman, Charlene DeLoach, Laurie Schacht and Reyne Rice. There, attendees learned the 2013 is the year to be safety smart, Parent smart, technology smart and baby smart!
As a parent, safety is my first priority when considering a product for my child so I appreciate what these companies are doing and how they are utilizing technology in their products.
The First Years iAlert Convertible Car Seat
As soon as we got the Delta headquarters, I pretty much gravitated towards the The First Years True Fit iAlert Convertible Car Seat. This revolutionary new car seat monitoring system is designed to alert parents of potentially life-threatening situations via their smartphone if their child:
- Rides in a rear facing position not installed at the desired angle
- Becomes unbuckled while the vehicle is in motion
- Is left in the car seat when the vehicle is not in motion
- Is at risk due to elevated or freezing ambient temperature in the car seat
Pretty amazing, am I right? Can you imagine how many infants and toddlers would be saved if they were accidently left in the car?
The car seat can be used from 5 to 35 lbs rear-facing and from 23 to 65 lbs forward-facing. Other features include a removable head rest designed to help manage head control. One of my favorite features besides for the monitoring system is the no-rethread harness that is incredibly easy to adjust! You can learn more about the The First Years iAlert Convertible Car Seat on The First Years website.
The First Years iAlert Convertible Car Seat
is available on Amazon and MSRP is $399.99.
E loves bath time and taking a bath is probably one of her favorite things to do! I always make sure to stay close while E plays in the tub because accidents can happen in an instant and it's always better to be safe than sorry, Am I right? Even the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) recommends, "Never – even for a moment – leave small children alone or in the care of another young child while in bathtubs..."
Some precautions we have taken to make sure that our bathroom is secure is for one, Keeping our bathroom door closed at all time unless it's opened by and occupied by and adult. In this particular post I will be discussing bath tub safety and some measures I take to ensure E's safety while bathing.
Bath water temperature
Always make sure to test the temperature of the bath water before placing your child in. It's best to wait until the you're finished filling the tub before testing.
Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays! This is the first year E will actually be able to do some trick or treating. Since safety is always my first priority when it comes to my child, I've compiled a list of helpful Halloween safety tips for parents with children of all ages. Some of these tips you may already be aware of but others may be new to you!
