Abstract

Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of preventable deaths for children under 19 years of age. Infancy has been identified as a high-risk stage for injury. Throughout infancy, infants acquire increasing motor competencies but have limited capabilities to appraise danger. This longitudinal multi-method study examined parents' expectations about their infant's emerging behaviors and their in-home safety practices when their infants were at two stages of motor development: pre-mobile (i.e. sitting independently) and mobile (i.e. walking independently).
