General Guidelines

When selecting baby products to buy, consult the guidelines recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Also, check for the latest recall information from the Consumer Product and Saftey Commission. This is especially important if purchasing products that haven't been sold in stores for a while, such as when buying new or previously owned products.
