Car seats are for travel only, to protect your baby during the journey. The car seat should not be used indoors as a place for your baby to sit and eat, sit and play, or for them to sleep in.

If your holiday accommodation is providing a cot for your baby, check it has: ✔️ Firm, flat, waterproof mattress ✔️ No damage ✔️ Rigid, firm cot base ✔️ Well-fitting mattress (no gaps) If cot bumpers are provided, remove these as they can cause accidents.

Sleep positioners (including rolled up towels/blankets) increase the risk of accidents and do not comply with safer sleep advice. Whilst it might be tempting to use one to stop your baby rolling, the risk of an accident is much greater. A CLEAR cot is a SAFER cot.

Tummy time is important to help babies develop the strength and ability to roll and, eventually, crawl! However, tummy time must be supervised and it’s important to stop if your little one gets tired so they don’t fall asleep in that position.

Loose bedding can block a baby’s airway or cause overheating if the baby wriggles down under it. So firmly tuck the blanket in on both sides of the cot, no higher than the shoulders. Baby's feet should touch the end of the cot to help prevent them wriggling down under the blanket

😎 Here’s a quick animation covering our key safety information for the warmer months. When a baby gets too hot, the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) increases so this is a really important one.
