Your young baby has no fear of falling, so wherever she sits she will have to be strapped in for her own safety.

• A five – point harness, which has straps for the shoulders as well as the waist and crotch, is safest
• Your baby’s stroller should have a built – in harness or rings so that you can attach one
• High chairs should have a built – in crotch strap and seat belt
• Some harnesses come with reins that can be attached when your baby is old enough to walk.

Your baby can be propped up in a specially made chair so that she can look around her. When she’s on solids, you can sit her in the chair and feed her, but ensure that she is safely strapped in to keep her from slipping.

• Put the chair on the floor, never on a table or desk
