Ethan

submitted by his mother, Laura

  My husband and I used the Baby Trend, Home and Roam since his birth; first to protect him from his older sister Rachael (only 22 months his senior) and then because it was his place to be able to see the world. We have no notion who gave it to us. We figured that hand-me-downs were safer than new because they were "kid tested." Other people’s kids had used them and were fine, it must be safe.

I was stunned to find out afterwards no testing is done on children’s products except by the company who makes them.

We miss Ethan every day. No one will be as happy or amazing to us as he was as our son. We will have more children.
