Child proof your home and the furniture

If you have small children you’ll always have a concern for their safety and so it is necessary to take note of your surroundings around the home to minimalise accidents and injury. So whether it’s your first time expecting or you already have children go around your house and baby proof as much as you can, this includes moving dangerous objects to top shelves out of reach, moving dangerous furniture, maybe a little DIY is needed to make something more safe and so on.

How about in the bedroom? How can you make the bedroom and bedroom furniture child safe?

Child proofing the bedroom is exceptionally important and so where do you start. First look at the bedroom furniture and identify if they are safe to be in the bedroom for the child or not. Modern bedroom furniture tends to be more dangerous as they have sharp edges and hard lines, and they are usually made out of metal or harder materials. If a child was to fall and hit metal furniture this would cause serious injury. Try choosing a softer material for your bedroom furniture, for example for your bed frame a huge metal frame that sticks out into the path where people and children will be walking by is prone to accidents, a standard bed base fits perfectly underneath the mattress and so there is nothing sticking out which cant trip anyone up or get in the way.

Move pictures with glass frames higher up out of reach from children playing with them. Broken glass can be very dangerous and so moving picture up out of the way from children reaching up and playing with them takes away the risk of them being broken and injuring the child.

Most windows today come with a lock and so lock all windows shut so children can’t climb up and go out the window, even windows on the bottom floor, children falling from this height can still hurt them, and so to take away any risk of this, keep all windows locked and keep the key out of reach from the children.
