4 Top Baby-Proofing Tips
- The Baby Gate. Whether your baby first crawls, rolls or scoots around your Crown Point, Munster, or Dyer home she will undoubtedly learn to fall before she learns to walk. Be sure to gate off open stairways, both those leading up as well as down. A child can just as easily make it up a few steps headed toward a second floor bedroom prior to a tumble as teeter on the edge of stairs headed down to the basement.
- Electric Outlet Safety Covers. Not much to say here. If there’s a way for a curious infant to squeeze a tiny little finger into an outlet that’s on the wall only a foot above the floor…Best not to gamble.
- Cabinet and Drawer Locks. Keep Billy away from chemicals, aerosols, ant traps – whatever you keep under the kitchen sink, bathroom sink, and in the laundry room cabinets that you just can’t put up high and out of reach.
- Curtain, Drape, and Blind Safety Ties. Babies grow into toddlers faster than you can sing “Happy Birthday,” walking and running before you know it. Children love to learn about their environment, checking out plants, testing the family cat, finding weeks old Cheerios under the edge of the sofa. And they love windows. Tie loose cords up high enough to keep toddlers from getting all tangled up and in trouble.
