Do not use a supporting ring in the bathtub. Keep the bathroom door closed. You may use a hook and eye latch or doorknob cover. About 25,000 children are injured each year from shopping carts. About half of the injuries are serious.
Children get broken arms and legs, head injuries, skull fractures, and deep cuts.
Children who ride standing in the basket often fall out of the cart onto the floor. Children under 1 year old get hurt most often when the cart tips over. Often older children pull the cart over while they are trying to climb in. Instead, carry your child in an infant carrier pack. Do not let your child ride in the basket of the cart.
