We asked parents about their concerns and then met with pediatricians, ER doctors, nurses, firefighters and other experts who save lives every day. We asked these professionals what
they want parents to know to keep their babies safe at home, riding in a car and in an emergency.
We developed lists of how to recognize the most common emergencies, who to call for help
and what to say, and over 200 ways to keep a baby safe, and other information (including a
fill-in fire escape plan).
We tested the words, pictures and charts with teenagers (as new mothers and babysitters), working mothers and grandparents. Then we translated the information into Spanish for the
U.S. and French for Canada.
We found that, at the time of an emergency, parents often forget vital information (even the 9-1-1 number and the number of their pediatrician) or have to frantically search in drawers and closets for CPR instructions, articles clipped from newspapers and magazines, on scraps of paper and notes.
The goal of Baby-Everywhere is to provide essential products that give parents and babysitters the much-needed self-confidence to handle a medical or household emergency. We have created a unique way for a mother to organize her baby’s medical history and pediatrician’s instructions, together with advice about preventing injuries, recognizing and responding to all types of emergencies in a quick-read, instant-help format for use at home, in a car or elsewhere.
