Newborns should not be placed in cribs with loose comforters, bumper pads, etc. The middle of the back seat is the safest place to put the infant car seat. Babies should not be placed on their stomachs with their mouth and nose in close proximity to the mattress, which is associated with sudden death syndrome. Lead paint on infant toys can lead to brain damage.
