I have two boys. They climb on everything. They think they're Superman (which I totally support). And they are definitely invincible...that is, until we had our first trip the ER. (No stitches were needed, FYI.) My house is totally baby-proofed, but I still need to maintain my A-game to make sure my boys don't get hurt.

September is Baby Safety Month, so I thought it a fitting time to share some of my favorite kid safe products. So here it goes...

The Ollie Swaddle keeps babies safe and comfortable while sleeping. It helps calm fussy babies, promotes neurological development, and reduces the occurrence of SIDS by preventing babies from rolling from back to front. The Ollie swaddle is different from other swaddles, as it is specially designed to extend the quality and duration of baby's sleep. In addition, the amazingly soft, patented moisture wicking fabric helps regulate baby’s temperature so he doesn’t overheat. 

Lorena Canals is dedicated to designing and producing beautiful rugs for the home and nurseries. These machine-washable rugs are ideal for any setting where kids live and play. They're stylish and made from all-natural, hypo-allergenic materials that are free of toxic dyes, toxic compounds and chemicals. 

DockATot is a multi functional baby dock that goes anywhere and keeps baby safe, snug and comfortable. The hypo-allergenic microclimate is reminiscent of the womb, with materials from top quality suppliers. It helps keep baby on his back while sleeping to reduce the risk of SIDS, all while allowing baby to rest peacefully near parents. As baby grows, it is perfect for supervised tummy time. 

Inspired by kids who love teething on keys, Kleynimals was founded after an unsuccessful search for non-toxic toy keys. These metal toy keys are made of non-toxic stainless steel. Kleynimals keys and flatware feature safari friends designs and are free of the hazards of lead contamination, sharp edges or the daily grime from the bottom of your diaper bag. 

Finn + Emma is a land where sustainability, fair trade, and organically grown cottons live. This apparel collection is contemporary, whimsical, and sophisticated. The clothing is made of only the finest 100% organic cotton, eco-friendly dyes, and all natural, untreated Indian wood. My pick- the robot collection!

Below you’ll find some simple safety tips, courtesy of these fabulous companies making baby-safe products.

  • Install a carbon monoxide alarm on every level of your home. Place them at least 15 feet away from fuel burning appliances. Remove running cars from the garage to avoid carbon monoxide from seeping into the house.
  • Prevent falls by preventing kids from playing on stairs, balconies or near windows without window guards. Use baby gates to keep kids away from areas with hazardous obstructions.
  • Use anti-slip decals in the tub to prevent falls.
  • Use brackets, braces or wall straps to secure unstable or top-heavy furniture to prevent it from tipping over. Mount flat-screen TVs to the wall to avoid them from toppling off stands.
  • Keep potentially digestible items out of reach. For instance, laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, pesticides and other chemicals should be on high shelves or inside high cabinets, and old or unused medications should be properly discarded.
  • Get on the floor and look at your home from your child’s vantage point and remove obstacles that could cause him harm.
