Keep your Child Safe with Great Baby Proofing Tips

for your House

All parents worry about the safety of their child. It’s natural to think about all the dangers

that linger around your home. Some of the biggest hazards to a child’s safety are found in

your own house! To ensure your children are safe and sound, let’s look at how you can

childproof your home.

Get Down to Their Level

When you’re childproofing your house, scope out your home on your hands and knees. Take

notes on what is within your reach and what your baby might be enticed to play with or get

into. Any cupboards, drawers, knicks-knacks, and hazardous items should be proofed or

removed from the area.

If you store dangerous substances such as poisons, cleaning products, medicines, or sharp

objects in a lower cupboard or drawer, it’s best to move these items to an out-of-reach

location so that your child is always prevented from reaching these deadly home products.

Also, any small objects can be a choking hazard to your child so remove any small items from

their reach as well.

Windows and Doors

Any window or door must be considered in a home childproofing process. For windows, the

safest window treatments are cordless window coverings or use cord shorteners for curtain

pulls. For any safety questions regarding blinds purchased prior to 2000, check out the

Window Covering Safety Council online to ensure your child is safe in your home. Window

guards are essential to prevent a child from opening the window too far. Any window that’s

above the ground level should be proofed with a guard.

When you think about securing your doors when children are living in your home, it’s

important to secure your doors in a number of ways. First, for doors that children should not

open, secure them with doorknob covers to prevent them from accessing forbidden territory.

If you have sliding glass doors to patios and outdoor decks, purchase some decals to stick on

them so children are less likely to run into them.

Electrical Outlets

Protect your electrical outlets from children with outlet covers that have a safety latch.

Using small plug-in caps can be a danger to your children allowing your babies to chew and

choke on them. Also, double check your exposed outlets that are hidden by furniture to

guarantee your children will not be in danger when they are big enough to crawl behind the

couch. If you use extension cords around the house, cover the unused sockets with electrical

tape so that small fingers won’t be able to access them.

Furniture and Decorations

Furniture quickly becomes your child’s favorite thing to climb and play on. Always remember

that children need to be safe no matter where they decide to play. Store heavy items on the

lower bookshelves and push heavy items such as your television far away from the shelving

edge. If you can, screw furniture into the walls for a secure furnishing.

Many household furnishings have sharp edges that can really hurt your children. Cover these

sharp corners with furniture bumpers to soften the blow on inevitable accidents.

Remember to completely close all drawers and cabinet doors so that a child’s fingers cannot

get pinched. Also, remember to remove any breakables or fragile decorations from your

child’s reach.

Although we are just scratching the surface on home child proofing, remember that

installing gates by stairs, purchasing fireplace protectors, and inspecting your home from

deadly substances like lead are extremely important too.

Baby-proofing your house is something that’s necessary for keeping your children safe and

protected from everyday dangers. Although the best device for child protection is

supervision, it’s best to be safe than sorry.
