Well, the accident prevention checklist is a really important one for parents. It includes and reminds us that there are areas where we know babies and children get into big trouble. The leading cause of serious accidents in the pediatric population include car accidents, so the car seat needs to be high on the list; water-related areas, drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death; and certainly areas of fire prevention. There are many others on these lists. They're available through a variety of websites and so forth, but those are the three that I would put highest on my list.
