Does Your Baby Crib Have The JPMA Seal?

Since its inception in 1976, the JPMA Certification Program continues to grow and play an important role in the juvenile products industry. Currently, more than 2,000 products are JPMA Certified in 20 categories!
ASTM International develops and publishes the standards. JPMA manufacturers, retailers, other industry members, consumer groups and staff from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) are involved in the development of the standards.

                                                                      
The JPMA Certification Seal on a product tells consumers this product has been verified as conforming to the requirements established by ASTM, through independent laboratory testing and follow-up on-site inspection of the manufacturer’s production line. The manufacturers that participate in the JPMA Certification Program are held to high standards and are obligated to meet those principles with every product. Our symbol of certification is a symbol of confidence that the juvenile products have met these performance standards. This confidence extends to parents in the buying decisions they make.

Preventing Baby Crib Injury

         
Around 10,000 infants and toddlers are hurt in a baby crib and/or a playpen each year. Many of these happened among children that were in age range 1-2 years old. This is the general age of children that are trying to climb out of their playpen and/or baby crib. Many of these children may be tall enough to transfer into a toddler bed style bed position. There are a few things to remember to reduce these types of injury among infants and toddlers.
*Parents can help prevent injuries by lowering the infant baby crib mattress when children grow tall enough to lean over the rails. When they are seemingly restless within the bedding area. Maybe seeing signs they have outgrown their restricted area.
*When children are starting to lean over the rail with either their head or legs, this is a good time to transition into a toddler bed style position of your convertible baby crib or into a separate toddler bed.
*Children should be moved to a toddler bed when they reach 35 inches tall.
*Make sure you purchase a sturdy baby crib. An infant baby crib is still the safest place to sleep for smaller infants and toddlers. They should be placed on their backs, with no padding or pillows.
A convertible crib that converts into a toddler bed is a good transition for baby as they grow. The transition into the toddler bed is much smoother and safer for the child as they are remaining in their comfort zone.
You can visit JPMA- Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association for more information on crib safety .

Toddler Bed Tips

Some tips to remember concerning a toddler bed for your child after transition from baby crib.

When baby is ready to move out of the baby crib, be sure to follow these guidelines and tip when selecting the right toddler bed.
1) You need to check the joints of the toddler bed for any looseness, do this periodically as well.

2) Always choose those toddler beds with low profile design for added safety, this helps if child falls out of the bed, less injury.

3) Always have toddler bed in a room away from windows, wall heaters, drapes and blind cords.

4) Place headboard against wall rather than the side of the toddler bed, so that the child does not get trapped in between wall and bed.

5) Just as in your baby crib, make sure that the toddler bed is sturdy with no fear of collapsing.

6) When storing the toddler bed or baby crib make sure you attach with tape, the instruction manual to the bed , on the bottom of the bed. Just in case the box is misplaced or instructions get misplaced from box. This is especially important for convertible cribs as they need to be adjusted as needed. Instructions are often placed on bottom of mattress platform.

7)Remember manufacturers websites will provide instruction manuals as well.

8)Remember if baby crib is a convertible to store those additional parts in a cool, dry place for future use. Keep instructions and parts in a safe place.

9)Label all parts from a convertible crib before storing, you will be glad you did.

10) MOST IMPORTANT- Make sure toddler bed and baby crib have the JPMA certification seal.

Air travel with infants and toddlers can be very stressful! What am I talking about? It is even stressful for us adults! Here are a few tips when traveling with your toddler and infant.  The TSA will screen the little ones before they can go through security checkpoints. You are to never leave children in baby carriers , baby stroller,double stroller, during security procedures. All carry-on baggage, including children’s bags and items, must go through the X-ray machine.  Examples include: diaper bags, blankets, and toys.All child-related equipment that will fit through the X-ray machine must go through the X-ray machine.  Examples include:  baby stroller, double strollers, carriers, car seats, backpacks, stroller double canopies and baby slings.
At checkpoints, collapse or fold your child-related equipment, such as baby stroller.  Secure items that are in the pockets, baskets, or attached to the equipment and place it on the X-ray belt for inspection. Plastic bins are provided to deposit such items.If any of your child-related equipment does not fit through the X-ray machine such as a double stroller security officers will visually and physically inspect it.
If you are carrying your child through the metal detector and the alarm sounds, our Security Officer will have to additionally screen both you and your child.Remove babies and children from their baby stroller or infant carriers so that our Security Officers can screen them individually.You may not pass the child to another person behind you or in front of you during this process.Do not pass your child to the Security Officer to hold.
