Baby Proof Your Home &
Car
Keeping your baby safe at all times is
one of the greatest concerns and
responsibilities for parents. It is very
easy to overlook something that might be
fairly obvious to some but escape the
attention of others. Things like covering
electrical outlets, putting up baby gates
and turning pot handles to the rear of the
cooker are just some points.
What is the best way to baby-proof
your home?
Get down on your hands and knees and
crawl around your home; this will enable
you to see hazards you might not have
recognized at your standing height.
Are electrical outlets in baby's reach
or are there electric cords hanging down
that they can pull on or get tangled in?
Does your furniture have sharp corners?
Are there precious items at your baby's
level that should be put out of reach?
The most hazardous situation for
your baby .....
Any situation that places your baby in
harms way is the worst situation for your
baby. The most hazardous situation for
your baby is choking or anything that
might cause him to stop breathing. The
most hazardous situation for you baby is
one that caused an injury that could have
been prevented.
Things you need to consider when you
baby-proof your home .....
Your baby is a quick mover so it is
never really safe to leave him unattended
if at all possible. Consider putting all
valuables and breakable items out of
reach. Anything that is small enough to
fit in his/her mouth should be removed to
a cupboard.
Baby safety gates .....
Baby safety gates can be placed in
doorways or at the top and bottom of
staircases; they can prevent your baby
from getting into the kitchen or bathroom,
prevent your baby from tumbling down the
stairs or climbing the stairs and
falling.
Electric outlet covers or locks
.....
Electric outlet covers look like
plastic plugs when they are inserted and
prevents your baby from sticking his
fingers or something else in the outlet
and getting a serious shock. Electric
outlet lock plates can replace typical
outlets and in order to insert anything
into the outlet the plug has to be
inserted and turned.
Kinds of baby-proofing products
available .....
Many kinds of baby products are
available and are reasonably priced.
Motion sensors, corner cushions for sharp
corners on furniture, electric outlet
covers, cabinet and drawer locks of
different types and cord retractors for
window blinds are just some of the
products available.
Baby proof the nursery .....
You can baby proof your nursery by
keeping your baby's crib away from windows
and blinds cords. Put outlet protectors on
all outlets. Make certain to dress your
baby in sleepers rather than using
blankets. When your baby begins sitting up
place the mattress in the lowest position.
Do not put stuffed animals or pillows in
the crib with your baby aS they could
nestle up to them and suffocate.
Baby proof the kitchen .....
Put all cleaners or chemicals up out of
reach of your baby. Make sure all drawers
and cabinet doors lock securely. When
cooking put all pot handles toward the
rear of the stove. Do not allow electric
cords to hang over counters where your
baby can pull on them.
Baby proof the car .....
Make certain the car seat your baby
will ride in is installed correctly and
that it is the correct one for your baby.
Remove all loose items that could become
missiles in a crash or quick stop and
place them in the trunk.
Look at your home and car through your
babys eye's, you might be surprised at
hazards you miss when you are looking from
adult height.
