Each year, an estimated 22 million children are involved in accidents inside their homes and in their yards. As many as nine out of ten of these accidents could have been prevented by following simple household safety measures. Remember that babies can get into trouble faster than you can imagine. If there's a dangerous spot in the house, a baby will surely find it.

Before your baby begins to crawl, there are some household precautions you should take to safeguard your little one. Below is a list of helpful safety devices that you can install within your home to protect your baby and your piece of mind. Many of these devices can be purchased at either your local department store or toy store.
