This year.s campaign focuses on the JPMA Certification Program.  

JPMA Certification requires that a product be subjected to a battery of rigorous testing and must comply with the high standards developed by ASTM International. These standards, developed with the help of JPMA and industry professionals, consumer groups, and staff of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, are designed to assure the consumer of the high quality of the product.

Participation in the JPMA Certification Program is completely voluntary and open to all member manufacturers. Products that pass the program are marked with the JPMA Certified Seal, an indicator for parents/caregivers wanting only the best for their baby.

.JPMA Certification recognizes baby products that exceed traditional standards of quality, safety, and functionality,. says JPMA President Robert Waller, Jr. 

The JPMA Certified Seal provides parents and caregivers with added assurance that the product was built with safety in mind.

 

JPMA Certified products include:

  • Bassinets & Cradles

  • Bath Seats

  • Carriages

  • Strollers

  • Full Size Cribs

  • Non-Full Size Cribs

  • Play Yards

  • Gates & Enclosures

  • Hand Held Infant Carriers

  • High Chairs

  • Infant Bouncers

  • Infant Swings

  • Portable hook on chairs

  • Portable bed rails

  • Stationary Activity Centers

  • Toddler Beds

  • Soft Infant Carriers

  • Walkers

Each year, retailers join JPMA in promoting safety education during Baby Safety Month.

Retailers are provided with a promotional kit, equipped with all of the necessary items needed to spread the word about baby safety.

The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association, Inc. is a national trade organization of 400 companies in the United States, Canada and Mexico. These companies manufacture and/or import infant products such as cribs, car seats, strollers, bedding, and a wide range of accessories and decorative items.
