Cool Baby Tips!

Lessons From The E.R.

An ounce of prevention is better than 6 hours stuck in the ER. Read and learn from the mistakes of others (with a laugh here and there). The inexpensive pocket books "Don't Try This at Home - Lessons From The Emergency Department" and "Think Twice - More Lessons From The ER" cover the most common preventable causes of a visit to the Emergency Department. Organized on a room by room approach through your house and beyond. These books make great gifts for nannies, sitters, and anyone else taking care of your baby. Written by well-known ER doctor, Brady Pregerson, who is also a father of three. You can purchase the books and read free safety tips at www.edinsight.com

Safety 1st Outlet Plugs Not Always Safe.

Don't believe us? Check out a free Child Proofing page at Consumer Reports.org. Apparently various Safety 1st outlet plugs did not pass their test. The plugs that did pass were the company's clear outlet plugs, which our test parents prefer anyway because they look way cooler and attract baby's attention in less cases.

Pool Safety Matters

Cool Baby Tips parents recommend All-Safe removable pool fences to reduce risk of drowning. All-Safe will allow you to use competitor's coupons, they have the best warranties, they install quickly, and you do not have to pay anything until the work is complete. It doesn't hurt to install a pool alarm, too, which sounds when anything over eight pounds falls in the water. But be careful there are lots of duds out there. We suggest logging onto The Consumer Reports Website to see the two out SEVEN alarms that worked well and the THREE that are rated not acceptable.
