Are modern baby gears really that safe to use? Parenting, especially in the first few years, is tough as it is. This is where modern baby products or gears that provide any form of convenience, are in high demand because it makes day-to-day life for mum and dad a little easier. Baby rockers are one of the many choices that are popular among parents. These portable gears offer a safe space for babies to lie down comfortably or even sleep for a short while, so parents can take a break from holding the baby all the time, thus giving them some space to eat or do house chores.
But in the recent weeks, reports of a 10-month old baby in the United States who became entangled in the dangling straps of a baby rocker had sparked a thread of conversations surrounding the safety of baby gears. Are they really that safe? Consumer’s Association of Penang (CAP) president, Mohaideen Abdul Kadeer said the safety of baby products/gears is dependent on the designer of the product, the manufacturer of the product, as well as the user. “CAP can only advise parents to take precaution by, for example, ensuring that all dangling straps, ropes, or electrical wires are securely bundled up,” he said.
Meanwhile, Secretary-General Malaysian Association of Standards Users, Saral James Maniam said The utmost aim of the manufacturers is to attract most young parents who seldom know about the safety of the product.
