     This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements the Statement for Notification
by a Five Percent Owner of an Issue on Schedule 13D, as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 1997 (the "Schedule 13D") by DB

Capital") with respect to its ownership of the Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share, of Safety 1st Inc. (the "Issuer").
