The world of toddler who is walking and climbing expands rapidly. Virtually overnight, almost everything is with reach.

To best protect your toddler, you will have to maintain safety environment around him, especially at home.

Parents should pay attention and making safety changes with: the windows ( included it’s glasses, frame lock, height, and width); the doors (included it’s sliders, lock, materials, glass, height and width); electrical cords and outlets (included it’s caps, cord, wire, plug, and any risk of electric shock or tangled by wire); lamp and lighting; fireplaces, heaters, stoves, and radiators; house plants; stairs; balconies; tablecloths, rugs and carpet; risky furniture (included those with sharp corners, string or cord, and unsuitable height, weight, and size for toddler); and hazardous small objects (included sharp, heavy, non-food, and poisoned objects)

Literally dozens of product are available trough catalogs, in pharmacies, and in juvenile product, department, house wares, and variety stores to keep young children safe at home. But don’t rely on them completely; they may slow your toddler down, giving you a bit more time to step in, but they aren’t effective for 100% of children 100% of the time. They don’t replace constant vigilance. Look for:

• Cabinet and drawer locks and latches (to keep kitchen cabinets and drawers closed to prying little fingers)
• Stove guards / knob protectors
• Doorknob guards (to make it difficult for little ones to open doors)
• Door stops
• Clear plastic corner cushioning (to soften corners of tables)
• Edge cushions (to soften sharp edges)
• Heart cushions
• Venetian blind and drapery cord shorteners
• Outlet plugs or covers (in addition to plug-in caps, there are hinged shields that can be used even when appliances are plugged in)
• VCR guards
• Tub spout safety covers
• Nonskid decorations for bathtub bottoms
• Toilet latches (to keep seat lid down when not in use)
• Skid-resistant step stool
• Kid-proof patio door locks
• Door alarms (to signal when a door to the outside opens)
