Childproof your home and ways to make
children safer with driveway safety nets, fire escape ladders, fireplace guards, stove knob locks,
toilet locks and other childproof products
Below are some tips for ways you can childproof your home and ways to make your
children safer. Children are born with a natural curiosity that can sometimes
get them into trouble, so precautions have to be taken in order to protect
them. Learn how to childproof your home
and make it a safer
environment for them.

Some of their unique safety products are driveway nets, kidcatcher driveway protector, kid safe driveway guards and driveway signs.
Bathroom safety
Toilet locks
will prevent any little finger injuries and will keep them away from the water.
Never leave a baby or child by themselves. Nope, not even just for a minute. A child doesn't need much water at all in order to drown,
so if somebody knocks at the door or the phone rings, take your child with you. Please don't leave them alone.
Some type of bath safety hand rails like
Safe-er-Grip
and non-slip bath appliqués for slippery bathtubs are always a good idea. To
prevent any little skin from being hurt always set your water heater to 120 F or less
and always test it first.
Also, keep any medications and mouthwash in a locked cabinet or drawer.
Childproofing a bedroom or nursery safety
Bed rails and crib security products keep baby or child from rolling out of
a bed or crib. When purchasing
a crib, bars should be no more than 2 3/8 inches apart according to the American Academy of Family Physicians.
Also, no posts should be sticking up, since your child could possibly get
something stuck or wrapped around them. Babies can suffocate if their head or
body become wedged between a mattress and side of
a crib so no more than 2 fingers should fit between them. Soon as baby is able to push up, remove bumpers, pillows and any toys so
they're not able to step on or use them to climb out of the crib and fall.
Mobiles should be out of reach of your
child. Also any strings attached to pacifiers or toys.
Fire escape ladders
really should be in any home with more than one floor in case there's a fire or
you need to get out in a hurry.
Making the kitchen safe
Electronic and appliance safety products
include appliance locks, electrical cord clips, electrical outlet caps, oven
locks, stove guards,
stove knob locks,
power strip safety covers and other products to childproof your home. Using back burners and turning
handles towards the back of the stove will help keep pans or pots from being
pulled. Keep appliance cords out of reach. Glassware and knives should be kept in a childproof drawer
or out of their reach, too.
Living room safety
Cord control kits,
corner and edge cushions,
fireplace door guards
no tip furniture brackets,
anti-tip furniture straps, TV and vcr guards, blind winders and window guards are some ways to make your
children safer.
To keep children safe around doors and steps use
banister guard kits, door guards to protect little fingers that may get caught
in them, bi-fold door locks, sliding door locks and safety gates.
Other child safety tips to keep in mind are: any
cleaning products or vitamins should be locked away or kept somewhere out of reach from
children. Something you may not think of but I know from my nephews and nieces,
is to watch them when they're near any aquarium so they don't lean on or pull
them. If you have a gun in the house, please be sure to keep it and any
ammunition locked somewhere so that nobody else has access to it. Also, alcohol,
matches, razors, scissors and tobacco should be somewhere that little hands
can't get hold of them. You should always have a functioning smoke alarm on each
floor of your house.
Outdoor safety
Deck guards and
driveway safety nets
will help keep children safer
outdoors. The safest way to keep a child from a pool would be a locked fence but
there are also, pool alarms you can purchase that sound an alarm when anything
nine pounds or more hits the water.
Safety Turtle Pool Alarm Starter Kit (contains one Base Station and one Wristband)
We all hope this would never happen but if your child or another child were to fall into the water, this child safety product instantly warns you with a loud alarm at the base station.
All that's necessary is to have the safety wristband around the child's wrist
and the remote base station to be plugged in.
