Furniture safety should be a primary concern in the baby nursery, therefore you should select your furniture items with baby protection in mind.
Each year, in the US alone, 92,000 babies sustain injuries, severe enough to warrant a trip to the emergency room, in incidents related to badly designed baby nursery furniture. Accidents can also occur when baby furniture is used incorrectly. It is important that you are aware of the infant safety hazards associated with the incorrect use of baby furniture, as well as, the use of baby nursery furniture items that are not well designed for their intended purpose. Follow the baby furniture safety guidelines on this page to ensure that your baby's nursery is safe and sound. Baby Furniture Safety StandardsMost of the following infant safety guidelines are designed to prevent accidents from occurring when your fragile little newborn suddenly mutates into a mischievous, mobile munchkin!

You should always have at least one hand on your baby. Drawers or shelves should be easily accessible without leaving baby unattended. If possible place the baby changing table against the wall and stand in front of your baby during changing.
