The BabbaCover is a great solution if you want to keep the sun off your baby while carrying him in his car seat. Since we’re not supposed to use sunscreen on babies 6 months and younger, the BabbaCover, with its SPF and UV protection, is the perfect substitute. Made in the USA, it’s lightweight and airy yet still provides the protection baby needs. Elastic around the cover keeps bugs out and keeps the fit secure. It is made of 100% machine-washable cotton, SPF 50+ Solarweave cotton, and polyester mosquito netting. You can purchase one of these innovative covers for $60 at BabbaCo.com.

While you’re busy doing all of this, how can you keep aware of your surroundings?

A fire could start suddenly in your home from faulty electrical wiring or a wall heater without any warning. This Kovenex Child Safety Blanket is made from high-tech Basofil fiber that effectively blocks heat and flames.

It would be a good idea is to have one of these fire blankets in each bedroom, under your child’s bed for quick access in an emergency.
