Happy Father’s Day
First and foremost, we’d like to wish all dads a Happy Father’s Day! Father’s Day is a time to commemorate and celebrate our fathers for all the great things they’ve given us. Many people honor their fathers by having a cookout, taking them to their favorite sporting event, or giving them peace and quiet for the day. This year why not spend some time doing fun activities with your little ones? You could teach your little one your favorite sport, or take them to play in the park. However you may celebrate Father’s Day, we’re confident it will be a day to always remember.

Stroller Safety Tips
The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) offers the following general stroller safety guidelines:
- Always secure the baby by using the stroller’s restraint straps or safety harness.
- Choose a stroller with a base wide enough to prevent tipping, even if your child reaches or leans over the side.
- If the stroller seat reclines, be sure the stroller won’t tip backward when your child lies down.
- To prevent the stroller from tipping over backwards, don’t hang anything over the handles.
- Make sure your stroller is designed with locking device that prevents the stroller from spontaneous folding.
- Apply the brakes to limit rotation of the wheels when the stroller is stationary.
- When you fold or unfold the stroller, make sure that your child’s hands are kept away from areas that could pinch their tiny fingers.
- Check for adjustments that reduce the size of seat openings in the front to prevent your baby from falling out when seat back is reclined into the flat position.
- Look for strollers sold with the JPMA Certification Seal.

Spotlight on Connor!
This month we chatted with Safety 1st Director of Marketing, Deanne Sanchez, about what it’s like raising her first child, Connor, a 12-month old boy. Connor is very much the typical boy, he likes to build things up and knock them down! His favorite toys are his soccer ball, piano, and stuffed animal bowling pins – hmm, sounds like an athlete is in the works. He started taking his first steps and is trying to form words like "ba" for "ball" and "ha" for "hot stove." His favorite foods range from bananas to pita bread, quite the little gourmet. Deanne reports that he’s been sleeping through most nights (thankfully), and only wakes up when he’s lost his pacifier. Connor’s next endeavor will be taking baby music classes – sounds like fun! Overall Deanne is having a blast watching Connor grow and looks forward to a new adventure every day.
Deanne was also happy to report that on their recent family trip to Florida, they brought the Cosco® Scenera™ convertible car seat comes with a clear, plastic carry bag for easy travel on planes. Deanne can attest that it made traveling stress-free and easy and she’ll use it the next time she travels.
