Child proofing your home can seem like a daunting task for any parent. The truth is that child proofing can be as easy as you want to make it. We’ve put together a list of 5 of the most successful tips to make your home a safe place for your child.
The first child proofing tip on our list is to prepare well in advance, like all things child proofing is often left until an accident happens rather than being a preventative safety measure. In our opinion you should start thinking about child proofing before your child can crawl, after all once they become mobile your house will become their playground.
The second most valuable tip we can give is to purchase a child proofing starter kit as it contains the most commonly used child proofing equipment such as cupboard locks, toilet seat locks and drawer locks.
Number three on your child proofing tips list is to invest in a good quality stair gate. A stair gate is not just an essential piece of baby safety equipment but it is a god send for parents. You can place a stair gate on areas such kitchen doors to avoid having to fully child proof your kitchen.
Fourthly, see your house from the eyes of a child. Simple things that you think they would not get into or be interested in can often surprise you. Things like DVD players and remote controls can be a child’s next toy. Purchase any further necessary child safety products and keep things like remotes out of harms reach.
Finally tip number five is to buy a baby monitor, to put your mind at ease on those occasions that you cannot always be with your child, after all every parent deserves a break!
