Jul 30, 2021 | Shopping | 0 Comments | 151

An ordinary house can be extremely hazardous for a child – there are potential accidents peeking at every corner; if not a finger jammed in a door, then it’s a fall down the stairs. It’s a big cause of worry to let your toddler lose to explore within the house, while constantly stressing about their safety.

For cautious parents who are looking to kid-proof your homes so your toddler can indulge in indoor activities without any worry, we have compiled a list of the essentials:

1. Child Proofing Electric socket cover

This handy product from Baby Pro is a plastic covering for open electric sockets. This is one of the most recommended tips for toddler safety – to keep sockets covered to avoid the risk of your child sticking something metallic (like a fork) into an open socket. This cover is difficult for babies to remove, and protects them from this hazard.

2. Magnetic latches

Magnetic latches are super convenient to secure cabinets, like those in which you store toxic items like detergents. Kids, while exploring, may accidentally swallow non-edible liquids. Use these convenient latches to keep hazardous items out of reach of your kids.

3. Safety locks for drawers

Kids run a large risk of getting their finger jammed in a drawer, or a cupboard, or a cabinet. These also work to lock the fridge, or freezer. These have an adhesive strip, so you just need to peel that off and stick it to the surface you need to child-proof.

4. Corner Guards

Corner guards are another top home safety tip for children. These guards, placed on the corners of furniture with sharp edges, protects children against injuring themselves by providing padding. This one comes in a 5 metre roll – just peel it off and place it on the corner that needs to be secured. It can also be used on the edge of doors as a door-stopper.

5. Toilet Seat Lid Lock

Easy to install and convenient, toilet seat lid locks like this one by Artibetter prevent the risk of young children falling into the toilet, playing with the water, and throwing things into the seat. It’s a good idea to install these in all the toilets in the house for when your kid finds their way to the washroom and decides that it’s their new playroom!

6. Bed Rail

Worried about your baby falling from the bed? Install this easy-to-use bed rail. It requires no assembly, and is convenient, easy to fold, and compact. It’s made of washable material, and compatible with most mattresses.

7. Safetygate

If you have staircases in your house, a safety gate is recommended. It’s like a fence, and keeps your kid away from tumbling down or having an unwanted fall. You can choose the size according to the opening you want to secure. It has an auto-lock feature, so it locks itself when it swings shut. The lock is complex for babies to work, but convenient for adults, who can open it with one hand.

8. Finger Pinch Guard

A finger pinch guard is designed to be placed on the hinges of doors to stop the door from closing fully. This is a helpful hack for homes with children – avoid fingers getting caught in doors, and kids getting accidentally locked up. This particular one comes with a handle so it can be safely stored while not in use.
