Strollers should always have a seat belt and crotch strap securely attached to the frame. They should have brakes that work well, wheels that are tightly fixed, and a wide base to prevent tipping. Toys that are broken or in disrepair can be unsafe. Toys with sharp edges or points, and dolls or stuffed toys with loose eyes or noses are potential hazards. Look for age recommendations that may still be attached to toys.
Balloons can choke and kill a child.
The safety of a used trampoline is always in question after it has been left outside in extreme temperatures, and has been used or abused by former owners. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that trampolines never be used in homes, routine physical education classes or in outdoor playgrounds.
