Tips On Better Baby Strollers Safety

I am back. Holiday and business activities got in the way and I found it difficult to stay on schedule with my writing activities.

Because babies are so delicate and susceptible to injuries you must think “safety” constantly until our babies are able to think “safety” for himself/herself. Many babies will be taking their first ride in their new baby strollers on Christmas and during the days immediately following. Unfortunately, given the right situation most baby product can be unsafe, and baby strollers are no exception. The purpose of this article is to remind you of a few ideas that can help you keep your babies safer while enjoying their stroller.

The following ten tips were collected to help you and your baby get more enjoyment from your baby stroller:

  1. Choose a baby stroller that has a wide base to make it more difficult to tip over.
  2. Making baby strollers safe for your baby’s hand. Babies will put their hand on anything in reach.
  3. Using a pillow, quilt, or blanket as a stroller mattress could cause the baby to suffocate.
  4. Always keep the safety belt or harness on your child while they are in the stroller. This will restrain children and prevent them from tipping.
  5. Toddlers may stand in the stroller and fall or very young babies may slip into the open leg space in a stroller. Therefore, it is never advisable to leave your baby in a stroller unattended.
  6. Always observe the manufacturer’s weight limit as well as the number of children it was designed to carry.
  7. Don’t let anyone play with your child’s stroller, especially while the child is in it.
  8. Carry bags and other items using the storage basket and never hang them in the stroller handles. This could prevent tipping over.
  9. Make sure the frame locking mechanism is engaged properly to prevent the stroller from collapsing and always use the parking brake when stopped.
  10. Keep the child away from the stroller while you are folding and unfolding it to avoid catching their fingers.

Hopefully these tips will make your experience with your baby stroller more enjoyable. For a pre-selected inventory of quality baby strollers go to http://www.babystoregiftshop.com/

Tips On Giving Gift Certificates For Special Occasions

Did you ever think that your gift might not be used or appreciated? Did you ever think of your gift remaining on the shelf or in a drawer for years unused or being rewrapped and given to some other person who may or may not have a use for it? Not only have most of us given such gift, we have received them. You never know whether your recipient will like the gift you purchased them unless they tell you or you know their situation well, so when you aren’t sure, giving gift certificates can be a great option to consider.

A gift certificate from a store with a large inventory of pre-selected quality gift items will give the recipient the best option to choose from many quality gift items the one he or she likes.

Some reasons we find gift certificates to be special gifts are as follows:

  1. Your gift certificate may be delivered to the recipient's address within a few hours and sometimes in minutes using online stores.
  2. Most gift certificates may be used to purchase any product in the store.
  3. Most gift certificates are valid for use only in the store in which they were bought, allowing you some control over how your money is spent.
  4. Purchasing a gift certificate is as simple as finding an online store with the kind of gift items that fit the occasion and placing your order as you would for any other gift. You will need to provide the contact information of the recipient if you want the store to deliver it for you.
  5. Gift certificates come in many different denominations for easy control of the amount you spend. They are usually from $5.00 to $500.00. If you wish to give more you simply increase the number of gift certificates. There are usually no limits to the number of gift certificates you can purchase.
  6. You can specify the gift and allow the recipient to pick the style, color or size when they redeem the gift certificate.
  7. Your gift won’t be taken back to the store because the recipient received too many gifts like it.
  8. The recipient of your gift will be able to use the gift certificate at a time that is most convenient for him or her.
  9. With gift certificates you avoid shipping cost and potential damage to your gift during shipping.
  10. Shopping online for gift certificates is convenient because you let the online store do most of the work for you. If you choose, you can have the store handle the long distant ones and you can have the gift certificates for local recipients sent to you to wrap and personally deliver.

The choices and options are endless when you give gift certificates. In the end the recipients are happy that they received what they wanted for the occasion. You don't have to worry about your friends and relatives returning their gifts, and for the few that do like to return gifts just for their after Christmas shopping pleasure can do so using their new gift certificates from you.
