This fall saw the recall of 2.1 drop-side Stork Craft cribs, which was the largest baby crib recall in U.S. history. This is the latest in a rash of drop-side crib recalls due to poor design and faulty manufacturing. Over the past 2 years, more than 5 million cribs have been recalled, including half a million Stork Craft Cribs in an earlier recall. In response, the Consumer Product Safety Commission is considering banning drop side cribs altogether.

A security camera captured this amazing video showing a train slamming into a baby stroller that rolled onto the tracks just as the train entered the station. You can see the anxious mother rush to the tracks, but she is too late.  The stroller was dragged 200 feet, but the six-month old baby was not seriously injured by the train. Rescue workers said that being strapped into the stroller is most likely what saved the baby’s life. The collision occurred in a suburb of Melbourne, Australia.
