I received a stroller as a gift for my baby. Are there any safety issues I should be aware of when using the stroller?

Strollers can be very useful when going out. When examining a stroller for safety, look for one that has: A firm backrest to help the baby sit up A canopy or covering for the head high enough that a 3-year-old can sit under it A seat belt that is secure and comfortable Wheels that can be locked A special latch to prevent the folder from accidentally folding A wide base to prevent tipping When you use the stroller: Never leave the stroller in the driveway or behind a car. Keep your baby with you at all times.
