5 out of 5 stars A Must-read for Parents!   June 16, 2008
Marilyn Heins (Tucson, AZ USA)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Every parent should read this comprehensive, easy-to-read and understand guide to child safety at home, outdoors, and in the car. There is an enormous amount of information so I suggest parents, especially new parents, do a quick read to learn about hazards in familiar surroundings and what parents can do to prevent injury. Then when you are ready to buy a bicycle and helmet carefully re-read that section in the chapter, "On the Go" which also covers strollers, skates, and how to be a safe pedestrian. This book is so comprehensive I could only come up with one omission: under food safety I would have added food spoilage and hazards like bacterial contamination of purchased food urging parents to keep abreast of food recalls and warnings. Might a new parent feel overwhelmed thinking about all the possible dangers in their child's world? Maybe, but better safe than sorry. Plus the book will help a parent develop a "safety reflex" so you automatically turn in the pot handle even though there are no toddlers around. Plus you will be modeling that safety reflex for your kids which will help keep your future grandchildren safe.

5 out of 5 stars A Must Read For Child Saftey Tips   May 28, 2008

I thought the book was filled with wonderful child saftey tips. The book is easy to read and all the tips are well explained and easy to follow. Not often is a child safety book so complete and important to read.


3 out of 5 stars Should be retitled "600 Ways to Scare Parents"   June 22, 2008
Karen Chiantella (Venice, FL USA)
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

New parents are bombarded with this stuff all the time. Why subject yourself to an entire book of fearmongering? I was hoping for a "room by room" description of what to cover up and contain, but instead I got "600 ways to Kill your kids". Enough is enough.

4 out of 5 stars Fine for what it is   November 29, 2008

Do you have a subscription to Consumer Reports online? Then you can skip this book and just surf for the latest reviews. Otherwise, this is a fine little book to prepare you on what to look for, what questions to ask. It's actually a little thin on specific recommendations -- not every product has a review per se -- and be forewarned: there are no recommendations on car seats, as they are re-evaluating their safety criteria on car seats/crash worthiness. You may be just as well off getting the recommended list from your registry at Babies-R-Us or Target or wherever, and looking at the online customer reviews of the products.
