🚨Summer Slide WARNING🚨
TW: Child Injury
Did you know that riding down the slide with your little one on your lap is extremely dangerous?
I didn't until I saw a little one break their leg at the park one day. It was shocking and heartbreaking.
I really believe there should be posted signs but since there isnt Im sharing with you now so this doesnt happen to you. Please pass the word along to other moms to save them a trip to the hospital and check out a few stories moms have shared with me this week about their little ones below.
FAST FACTS:
➡️Age most injured on slide
12-24 months old
➡️ Part most injured on slide
Lower leg (fractures)
➡️ Common method of injury
Sitting on parents lap
HOW IT HAPPENS:
Parent puts child on lap to slide down
Child is wearing sneakers
Sneaker grips side of slide
Leg gets trapped between adult + slide and twists
THE RESULT
HOW TO PREVENT BROKEN LEGS FROM SLIDES
✅ Let child slide alone
✅ Remove sneakers if you must slide together
✅ Make sure arms and legs stay away from edges if you must slide together
SLIDE STORIES:
"This happened to my son as well when he was 20 months old. The told me at the ER that your kid should never sit on your lap on a slide. I had no idea." Zeina
"We went through this at 15 months old and it was incredibly hard. The grieving and guilt are so real." Jennifer
"Wish I knew this before it happened to my son at 18 months and had a leg cast for a month. Never going down a slide again in anyones lap. Wish this was shared more than it is." Kelli

@bucklemebabycoats Yesterdays video is full of comments from moms sharing how this happened to them. This is such a common danger there should be warning signs on the slides.

Got this for my granddaughter. It is so soft and she loves it. Such convenient protection getting her in and out of the car. Recommended it to several of my "Grandma" friends 😊

This product is amazing!
We just had our little one in June and had no idea how to keep her warm in her carseat once it started getting colder. This was the perfect solution and she absolutely loves how soft it is! We can also roll up the sleeves easily so she can get to her hands (which she suddenly must have access to at all times) and we love it so much. Thank you!

Car seat blanket
Bought for 6 mo old grandson. We will be traveling to Ireland in December and it will be used a lot on plane, in stroller. At home it will be used to go back and forth to day care for car seat to transfer back and forth to car. Quality of fabric a little lighter than I expected but will work.

Great quality, great service
Shipping was super fast and the snowsuit feels like quality! I love the warm cuffs on the neck and sleeves. I got moonwalker so it can be gender nautral for future kids but it can pass as purple with certain lighting.

Great item
I’ve purchased 2 of these for baby shower gifts. One is headed to Colorado and the other my dear friend’s 38 year old daughter having her first.
Now I’ll be ordering more ! Just received more good news !
Everyone that sees them think it’s genius idea.

My 2nd coat as my child gets older!
I can't find another jacket on the market like this. It's so great that I can slap this jacket on my child and walk outside in the cold and know I don't need to get him out and in again in the car seat. Such a great thinking product! Great idea, better quality, and best customer service.

I love it!
I got the pink plaid and it’s so soft and cute. The only, I wish it was thicker for those colder days. I will say, I used the blanket today, along with another small blanket, and it just proved how well it was designed. My daughter loves to kick the blanket off of her feet, and she did just that with the extra blanket. The Velcro strap on this blanket ensured the blanket wasn’t going anywhere.

Better than expected
I had the lightest version which was nice for all year, but with colder days coming I ordered this version and its better than expected. Definitely thick but not too heavy, well-made and baby loves it!

Baby size snuggle sack!
This is absolutely perfectly practical for a newborn in a car seat. That’s going to be born this winter. It’s very soft and lightweight and will be easy to put on and off.
