5 stars Buy this book and you don't have to call your Mom all day for advice!
Cover to cover this book is filled with valuable information for Moms, Dads and caregivers. I love the way the book is laid out- such a quick and easy book to reference on any subject. I think it's a great gift idea for new Moms & Dads and also great for parents whose children are older.
My daughter is 5 now and I still want to give her the best care I can,so to me it is important to stay informed. Thank you!!


5 stars Essential book for parents
With all the information about child safety out there, it is great to have all this information in one place and from a trusted source. The book is easy to read and the information is presented clearly and concisely. I recommend it as the must have resource for parents (and anyone who takes care of children in their home).


3 stars Should be retitled "600 Ways to Scare Parents"
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.


5 stars A Must-read for Parents!
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.
