High Chairs and Strollers

• Anything the infant will be sitting in should have a wide base that keeps the device steady and decreases the chance of tipping.
• Make sure a high chair or stroller has a good harness. Fasten it firmly to prevent your child from falling or climbing out.
• Fold a stroller a few times and lift it into the folded position to see whether or not it will fit easily into the trunk of your car.
• Make sure the mechanism that keeps a collapsible high chair or stroller open is securely locked when in use.
• Make sure all surfaces are smooth and nontoxic and that all hinges, latches, and other features are in good working order and inaccessible to your baby’s hands and fingers.
• Make sure a stroller has solid wheels; rear wheels should come with shock absorbers.
