Your new little bundle of joy is home! While the excitement of your new addition is unparalleled, it's also completely normal to feel overwhelmed. There are so many things to think about as your baby continues to grow and gain curiosity: Have I prepared enough? Is my home safe? Are there any choking hazards? What can they get into? Good news — we are here to help ease your stress!
To safeguard curious little crawlers and cruisers, we've brought together a list of baby proofing essentials. Learn a bit more about baby proofing below:
Help secure TVs and heavy furniture: When your little one is learning to walk, they naturally steady themselves by grabbing onto whatever is nearby, which can bring furniture tumbling down onto them. TV or furniture wall straps give you a way to secure your heavy furniture or freestanding, flat-panel TV, helping to safeguard against serious injury.
Keep stove knobs from being turned on: From below, your stove knobs will look so tempting to your little one. But there’s no need to remove them — snap on stove knob covers to help prevent your child from turning on your stove burners or oven.
Discourage poking or prodding of outlets: You breeze past electrical outlets in your home all the time and never think twice about them. But imagine looking at them from floor level — they’re a huge temptation! Before your inquisitive child begins to move around the house, you’ll want to plug outlet covers into place to help prevent your little explorer from inserting fingers or small objects into both 2-prong and 3-prong electrical outlets.
Cushion hard furniture edges: Don’t allow hard edges to take a bite out of your little one! Foam edge guards add a soft, high-density foam rubber bumper to hard edges as your budding cruiser learns to navigate your home. High-quality adhesive holds the foam edging in place on furniture, countertops, fireplace hearths and other surfaces.
Safeguard doorknobs for your explorer: A closed door is a challenge many little explorers will try to overcome. Doorknob Covers help to keep rooms off-limits to inquisitive wanderers.
By taking these simple steps, you can create a safer environment for your baby to explore and grow. Remember, baby proofing is an ongoing process, so be sure to reevaluate and update as your baby becomes more mobile. We're proud to help you keep your growing little one happy and safe at home — together we can make baby proofing easy and stress-free!
