Thanksgiving Day is Monday, October 12th, 2009, and is the perfect occasion to spend some quality time with our loved ones and friends. Cooking, shopping, visiting relatives and exchanging presents are the usual top priorities on any family “to-do-list”, but if you have babies or toddlers at home, don’t forget babyproofing and childproofing.
With the hectic schedule we all have during holidays, child minding becomes a bit more stressful than any other time of year, but if you follow some simple tips, you can make the most of the upcoming celebration:
- When going on road trips, double check your child’s car seat to ensure it fits his/her height and weight, and if it is installed properly. At The Safety Superstore we carry a wide range of comfortable, durable and ultra safe Car Seats for babies and toddlers.
- Bring a few books or toys to keep your baby or toddler entertained. At our store you will find some of the cutest and educational toys on the market, as well as some great books.
- Keep potholders and food wrappers at least three feet away from heat sources while cooking.
- Wear tighter fitting clothing with shorter sleeves when cooking.
- Set timers to keep track of turkeys and other food items that require extended cooking times and make sure all stoves, ovens, and ranges have been turned off when you leave the kitchen. For extra protection, try our:
