As we have mentioned before – most child accidents in the home are preventable. But we haven’t talked much about about the best time to baby proof. Basically, once your child is crawling you should have baby proofing on your radar. You do not want to introduce barriers when your baby is most curious. So you should baby proof early. It’s also a great way for dad to feel helpful and connected at a time when baby may still be very mommy-focused.
Before starting, it is important to have the best and most up-to-date information regarding home safety. Here are some of our favorites:
- The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) Baby Safety Zone – a great place to find information. safety tips, and also information about products that are JPMA certified as safe.
- Safe Kids Worldwide, the name says is all. Bottom line – a critical resource for all parents.
- Consumer Reports – yes, of course, the tried and true. And they have a pretty extensive baby & kids section.
Good luck on your journey! If you have any questions or advice to lend to this conversation – please leave them below.
Toddlers love to explore, and the stairs are the perfect place to practice climbing, making them one of the most common destinations for babies on the go. But they can also be extremely dangerous if toddlers try to climb them on their own, making it essential for parents to buy baby gates. You may also want to invest in finger pinch guards, wall outlet covers, and other protective equipment to keep your baby safe.
If you have a toddler, or even a baby who’s not quite yet walking, but has learned to crawl and to pull herself up on furniture and “cruise” around the room, it’s likely that you spend a fair amount of time each day removing items from her reach, her grasp, or even her mouth. Young children are naturally curious, and they test the world around them by touching and tasting everything they can. This means that parents of little explorers need to babyproof their home, Grandma’s house and anyplace else the child might spend time.
