Children like to rock, jump and bounce when they are in one of these centres. If the centre tips over, your baby could be trapped under it. They may grab things they should not have. They may pull things down on top of their heads. At least once a week, check the toys on the activity centre to make sure they are not broken or loose.
Sharp points can cut.
Small pieces can choke your child. If the doorbell rings or you have to leave the room for any reason, take your baby with you. Keep the activity centre away from stairs, doors, windows, the coffee table, plants, lamps, the TV and your wood stove, fireplace or heater. Keep curtain and blind cords out of the reach of children. Think twice before you buy a used activity centre.
