How To ChildProof Your Home

Posted on August 19th, 2008 in Child Proof, Safety by myfamily

Childproofing your home can be a daunting task. Today there are tools and tips that can childproof any room in your home easily and cost effectively. Any safety device you buy should be sturdy enough to prevent injury to your child, yet easy for you to use. It’s important to follow installation instructions carefully.

The products below are rated Best Sellers, Top Parent Picks and rated 5 Starts By You, The Parents

Use Safety Latches and Locks for cabinets and drawers in kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and other areas to help prevent poisonings and other injuries. Safety latches and locks on cabinets and drawers can help prevent children from gaining access to medicines and household cleaners, as well as knives and other sharp objects. Look for safety latches and locks that you can easily install and use, but are sturdy enough to withstand pulls and tugs from children.

KidCo Sliding Cabinet Lock

KidCo Sliding Cabinet Lock


It slides easily onto most knobs and handles, keeping your baby from hazards and breakables, and slides off just as effortlessly when you need access to cleaning supplies, the trash can, etc..

KidCo On-Off Appliance Lock White

Peel, position, and press. This appliance lock couldn’t be easier to install. Simply peel the backing from two adhesive strips, adhere to the latch and catch, position on your appliance, and press.

Mommy's Helper Lid Lock

Mommy’s Helper Lid Lock


Keep your curious little one out of the toilet bowl with this lock, which keeps the toilet lid locked shut. Adults and older children can disengage the lock by pushing two release buttons

Use Safety Gates to help prevent falls down stairs and to keep children away from dangerous areas. Safety gates can help keep children away from stairs or rooms that have hazards in them. Look for safety gates that children cannot dislodge easily, but that adults can open and close without difficulty. For the top of stairs, gates that screw to the wall are more secure than “pressure gates.”

New safety gates that meet safety standards display a certification seal from the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA). If you have an older safety gate, be sure it doesn’t have “V” shapes that are large enough for a child’s head and neck to fit into.

This 15′ roll of strong netting can be used to line outdoor railings on decks, fences, and balconies, blocking off hazardous openings. It includes all the hardware needed for easy installation.

Use Knob Covers and Door Locks to help prevent children from entering rooms and other areas with possible dangers. Door knob covers and door locks can help keep children away from places with hazards, including swimming pools.

Be sure the door knob cover is sturdy enough not to break, but allows a door to be opened quickly by an adult in case of emergency. By restricting access to potentially hazardous rooms in the home, door knob covers could help prevent many kinds of injuries.

Safety 1st Grip n' Twist Door Knob Cover (4-Pack)

Safety 1st Grip n’ Twist Door Knob Cover (4-Pack)

Safety 1st Clear View Stove Knob Covers


All parents know the fear of their toddler turning on a stove burner when no one’s looking. These plastic covers fit over stove knobs to prevent your child from turning them on.

Use Window Guards and Safety Netting to help prevent falls from windows, balconies, decks, and landings. Window guards and safety netting for balconies and decks can help prevent serious falls.

Check these safety devices frequently to make sure they are secure and properly installed and maintained. There should be no more than four inches between the bars of the window guard. If you have window guards, be sure at least one window in each room can be easily used for escape in a fire. Window screens are not effective for preventing children from falling out of windows.
Home Alarm
Includes three sensor units, so you can monitor three areas at once. Includes receiver with sound and light alarms, a motion sensor for your primary entranceway, and two magnetic door/window sensors to guard your most accessible entry points.

Use Corner and Edge Bumpers to help prevent injuries from falls against sharp edges of furniture and fireplaces. Corner and edge bumpers can be used with furniture and fireplace hearths to help prevent injuries from falls or to soften falls against sharp or rough edges.

Be sure to look for bumpers that stay securely on furniture or hearth edges.

Use Outlet Covers and Outlet Plates to help prevent electrocution. Outlet covers and outlet plates can help protect children from electrical shock and possible electrocution.

Be sure the outlet protectors cannot be easily removed by children and are large enough so that children cannot choke on them.

KidCo Universal Outlet Cover - (3-Pack)

This permanent cover screws over your existing outlet (no wiring necessary) and covers the outlet automatically every time you unplug an electrical cord.

Mommy's Helper Safe Plate Standard Outlet Cover - White

Mommy’s Helper Safe Plate Standard Outlet Cover - White


As soon as a plug is pulled from the socket, a sliding window on the protector automatically covers the exposed outlet. Adults can easily slide the window open again to plug something in, but it requires too much force for a small child to operate.

Safety 1st Power Strip Cover

Safety 1st Power Strip Cover


This plastic cover encloses the entire strip, blocking little hands and fingers from access. It expands to cover most standard household power strips with two to six outlets and is easy to install.

Cut Window Blind Cords; use Safety Tassels and Inner Cord Stops to help prevent children from strangling in blind cord loops. Window blind cord safety tassels on miniblinds and tension devices on vertical blinds and drapery cords can help prevent deaths and injuries from strangulation in the loops of cords. Inner cord stops can help prevent strangulation in the inner cords of window blinds.

KidCo Blindwinder

Keep entangling window cords out of your child’s reach with these easy-to-use cord winders. With a push of the button, the spring-tension design retracts or releases the cords automatically, just like a tape measure — no manual winding required!

Mommy's Helper Tip-Resistant Furniture Safety Bracket

Mommy’s Helper Tip-Resistant Furniture Safety Bracket


When your curious climber starts to explore, be one step ahead by ensuring that all furniture is secured to the wall. Simply attach one bracket to a wall stud, and the other to the back of the furniture.

Our children are so much more active than when we were kids. Baseball, Soccer, Dance and the list goes on. It is important that there is a first aid kit available at these extra activities your children are involved in.  Moms and Dads will appreciate the take along first aid kits. Keep one in the car for sports practices, keep one in the home and keep one at the grandparents home.

Cordless phones are especially helpful when children are in or near water, whether it’s the bathtub, the swimming pool, or the beach.
