Baby Products - Money Saving Tips

Before buying Baby Products I think everyone must know and remember the following Money Saving Tips. I am sure that all these may be of great worth to you. Here are some practical strategies for saving money on various products:

Baby bathtub:

Use the kitchen sink, lined with a towel, or carefully bring the baby in the baby bathtub with you.

Baby food:

Prepare your own baby food using a baby-food grinder, an electric blender, or a food processor.

Bibs:

Rather than purchasing a number of terry bibs, buy one or two flexible, molded plastic bibs and wipe clean after every meal.

Changing table:

Install a sturdy wall-to-wall shelf at a comfortable height in baby closet. Or simply plan to change baby on a waterproof pad placed on your bed or on the floor. (Always keep one hand on your baby.)

Child car restraint:

Investigate loaner or rental programs sponsored by hospitals and childbirth education associations. Typically, you'll be able to rent a seat for a refundable deposit and a minimal monthly or flat fee.

Some states administer loaner programs through the state highway safety department.

Clothing storage:

Use brightly colored plastic bins or laundry baskets to hold clean diapers and shirts, or buy used shelves and paint them with nontoxic paint.

Diapers:

Use and recycle cloth diapers. Unfolded diapers allow you to devise the best-fitting shapes for your own baby. They can also be cleaned better.

High Chair:

Feed the baby in your lap, or use a car seat that converts to indoor use.

Infant formula and bottles:

Feed the baby your own milk. It's sterile and warm and requires no preparation.

Infant seat:

Use a car restraint that converts to indoor use. Stroller. Buy a safe used stroller at a yard sale.

T-shirts and nightgowns:

Buy T shirts and nightgowns from a clothing store. Soak them in very hot water with dish washing detergent to get them clean and then wash with regular detergent and a cup of vinegar or bleach, with an additional hot rinse, for maximum whiteness.

How safe are baby products?

Past years, there was a boom of Baby Products in USA and parents often assume that because a product is designed for use by babies, it is safe. Old photographs show smiling babies in a crib, carriage, or stroller. Most people do not remember ever getting hurt by these products, nor do they expect their babies to get hurt. Those memories, however, do not reflect reality. As a result of it I now know that an alarmingly high number of injuries are associated with the use of baby products each year.

Nationally, the U.S. government addresses product safety for child car seats through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Baby food and skin care products are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is my opinion that the products administered by these two agencies are well regulated and relatively safe. Cribs and toys, though, are regulated nationally by the CPSC, and applicable standards are not as complete for these products as we think they should be. In fact, cribs and toys are protected by few requirements, although voluntary standards have been created to give children added protection. To be legally sold in the United States, however, cribs and toys must comply with CPSC limited standards. Products that are not in compliance are sometimes recalled by the manufacturer as part of the remedial action asked for by the government and sometimes manufacturers recall products voluntarily.

Some consumer protection also results from voluntary standards set by industry associations, but those standards are only as stringent as the association decides. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA), for example, sponsors and administers a voluntary certification program for certain juvenile products. Voluntary certification programs are currently in effect for full-sized cribs, high chairs, portable hook-on chairs, playpens, strollers, gates and enclosures, and walkers. The JPMA retains an independent testing laboratory (Detroit Testing Laboratory, Inc.) to perform the tests or witness tests of sample units on a periodic basis. Products are certified if they meet minimum safety performance standards developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Although voluntary industry safety standards exist for many baby products, mandatory federal standards, as noted above, cover only child car restraints and cribs.

Yeah! I know, USA is safe about the baby and newborns but what about Indians? Are they???
