Your child's safety is paramount when selecting furniture. Follow these guidelines to ensure you make the best and safest choices.1. General Guidelines
- Read the Label: Ensure the product meets the US Consumer Safety Commission standards, especially for baby and young child furniture.
- Check for Recalls: Visit the US Consumer Safety Commission website to be aware of any recalls for specific furniture.
- Examine Construction: Choose sturdy, durable furniture rated for your child's weight, size, or age.

2. Prevent Furniture from Tipping Over
