Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Child safety used to be a topic given a chapter or two in a general childcare manual. No more. Popular author Lansky ( The Best of Vicki Lansky's Practical Parenting , Book Peddlers, 1987; etc.) fills her new book with safety tips, indoors and out. She covers the usual (toys, household chemicals, Halloween) and dangers of a mobile society (plane trips, swimming pools, bike seats, visiting Grandma). The book is chock full of common sense, and Lansky throws in many tips parents may not have heard of (wet shoelaces before tying so that they'll stay tied, and lay a ladder across a driveway to keep young trikers from going into the street). Far from being overprecautionary, this is a well-thought-out guide to keeping toddlers and young ones safe and healthy. A broader child safety book is Vivian K. Fancher's Safe Kids , reviewed in this issue, p. 77.--Ed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise but very thorough, August 14, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Baby Proofing Basics (Paperback)
This is an excellent book. It goes into a great amount of detail on how to "baby proof" your home, particularly your kitchen and bathroom. All advice is explained simply and concisely, and drawings are included as well. The book also talks about child safety products a parent can buy and guidelines for purchasing infant items such as walkers, strollers, and toys. Information is also included about outdoor safety, holiday safety, and poison prevention. I highly recommend this book to anyone concerned about child safety.
