Download KID’s product inventory packet and note the manufacturers and product labels of your crib, stroller, car seat, and other products your child is using. It takes time now, but it could end up saving your child’s life. And don’t forget to add to it as you buy new things!
Once your have finished taking your inventory it is easy to check your list against the list of recalls. Also be sure to refer to your list as new recalls are announced.
