Babyproofing Your Home

In This Feature

Living Room Safety

  • Keep fans and space heaters—which can cause severe burns and cuts—out of your baby's reach.

  • Install electrical outlet plugs to protect your baby from shock.

  • Lock windows to prevent your child from falling outside.

  • Remove or shorten any cord that your child can reach. Cords from blinds or drapes can cause strangulation.

  • Always pick up toys so that no one slips and falls on them.

  • Place decals on glass doors at your baby's height so that he or she doesn't crawl or toddle into the glass.

  • Secure all furniture so your baby cannot pull anything over on himself/herself.
