# Making Sure Your Infant Product is Safe for Children
When it comes to manufacturing products intended for use by infants there are a lot of considerations to take into account. Naturally, you’re going to want to make sure the final product is safe for chewing- on since this is how infants and tots discover the world – but what else should you consider?
We have a long history of manufacturing infant-safe silicone products. Here are some ways you can make sure your infant product is safe:
### Set Yourself Up for Material Success
The answer to a lot of the challenges you might face with your product is in selecting the right material from the very start. Plastics are an ideal solution to creating infant products but not all of them have been FDA-approved as food-grade materials (for products that will come into contact with consumers’ mouths see [21 CFR 177.2600](https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/granule/CFR-2011-title21-vol3/CFR-2011-title21-vol3-sec177-2600)) and not all of them are USP Class VI compliant materials (for external body contact).
When it comes to FDA-approved and USP Class VI compliance, silicone really shines through. It’s suitable for food-products, infant-friendly products and even in medical devices.
Silicone is also shatterproof and non-toxic (it’s BPA-free). Because it is hypoallergenic it’s especially useful in manufacturing bibs, bottles, pacifiers, teethers, and more for infants. We have a number of partners who contract us to product silicone products for infants including [Baby Banana Brush](https://www.extrememolding.com/blog/upscaling-baby-banana-brush-injection-molding-in-the-usa), [the Brushies](https://www.extrememolding.com/blog/the-brushies-taking-an-innovative-product-to-market) and [Mason Bottle](https://www.extrememolding.com/blog/mason-bottle).
Silicone is also:
- Extremely temperature resistant
- Chemical resistant
- Microwave and freezer-safe
- Unlikely to fade
### Get Your Design Spot-On
Getting the design of your product right is especially important when it comes to infant products. In order to do this, it’s best to seek out an experienced manufacturer who can help guide you through refining your design files to make sure your infant product is excellent.
If this is your first infant product, it’s likely you may have some challenges in design that you’ll need to overcome – whether that’s making sure your product is [designed for manufacturability](https://www.extrememolding.com/blog/designing-your-product-for-manufacturability) or creating a product that is suitable for use by infants. Good manufacturers should be able to help with this and provide expert advice on how to get the most out of your design. Wise infant product retailers will know that there will always be bumps along with way with creating new products so having a manufacturer who treats your relationship as a partnership and is dedicated to getting the design of your product correct can be paramount in overcoming any challenges.
### Location
Overseas manufacturers are sometimes perceived as more value-for-money but when it comes to infant products you don’t want to compromise quality along the way. Choosing a manufacturer based in the USA is the best way to ensure your product is of the highest quality – you’ll be working with skilled experts who will often go above and beyond to help you make the best product possible. An added bonus of American manufacturers of silicone products is that they’re on similar time zones to you, and speak your language, meaning nothing is lost in translation and actions can be taken on the same day. Couple this with finding a manufacturer who can do almost everything they need in-house and has a commitment to using American suppliers where required and you’ll find everything you need right here in the states.
### Choosing the Right Manufacturer
When it comes to finding the right manufacturer for your product, it’s important to look for one who has a history of producing quality infant products. If you’re torn between several suppliers, consider looking into whether they manufacturer medical products too – those who have a history in the medical component and device industry are likely to be incredibly precise with their processes and used to the rigid and demanding standards of the medical industry. It’s likely their products will exceed your expectations as a result.
At Extreme Molding we have a long history of manufacturing medical and infant products and we with infant products we have a focus on creating wallet-friendly items for families that are of the highest possible quality.
