1: Fine for what it is
Do you have a subscription to Consumer Reports online? Then you can skip this book and just surf for the latest reviews. Otherwise, this is a fine little book to prepare you on what to look for, what questions to ask. It's actually a little thin on specific recommendations -- not every product has a review per se -- and be forewarned: there are no recommendations on car seats, as they are re-evaluating their safety criteria on car seats/crash worthiness. You may be just as well off getting the recommended list from your registry at Babies-R-Us or Target or wherever, and looking at the online customer reviews of the products.

3: Buy this book and you don't have to call your Mom all day for advice!
Cover to cover this book is filled with valuable information for Moms, Dads and caregivers. I love the way the book is laid out- such a quick and easy book to reference on any subject. I think it's a great gift idea for new Moms & Dads and also great for parents whose children are older.
My daughter is 5 now and I still want to give her the best care I can,so to me it is important to stay informed. Thank you!!

4: Essential book for parents
With all the information about child safety out there, it is great to have all this information in one place and from a trusted source. The book is easy to read and the information is presented clearly and concisely. I recommend it as the must have resource for parents (and anyone who takes care of children in their home).

5: Should be retitled "600 Ways to Scare Parents"
New parents are bombarded with this stuff all the time. Why subject yourself to an entire book of fearmongering? I was hoping for a "room by room" description of what to cover up and contain, but instead I got "600 ways to Kill your kids". Enough is enough.
