Childhood falls account for an estimated two million emergency department visits each year. The majority of childhood fall-related injuries occur at home, particularly among younger children. Adult supervision, home modification and informed product selection can help reduce the likelihood of childhood falls and fall-related injuries. Babies are particularly vulnerable to falls and need to be closely supervised at all times. Highchairs, cribs, stairs, and chairs all pose danger to very young children. Survey your home to make sure it's childproof.
