• Tall lamps or anything taller than your child that can be pulled over should be taken out of the child's environment or be blocked off with furniture so that your child cannot get into it.
• Poisons should not be kept under the sink, regardless of whether or not the cabinet is childproofed. Poisons should always be kept in upper cabinets, high out of the child's reach.
• Magnets on refrigerators are not a good idea. If they fall on the floor, your child could put it in his or her mouth and choke on it.
• When cooking, all pot handles should be turned in so your child cannot reach up and pull the handle. If possible, use your back burners first.
• Hanging cords from answering machines, phones, lamps, and appliances should be out of your child's reach.
• Always keep the VCR out of reach so little fingers cannot reach into the mouth of the tape opening. Keep a tape in the VCR to prevent your child from reaching inside.
• Wall hangings or pictures should never be put over the crib. If your child pulls it down, nails could come loose and fall into the crib, not to mention having picture glass break in the crib.
• Mobiles should be removed when the child is 5-7 months old. Children can pull the mobile down and the strings from the mobile can get wrapped around little fingers and cause injury.
• Cords to blinds should be tied high out of reach. Children can pull the cords and could be accidentally strangled.
• Turn your hot water down below 120 degrees to prevent scalding.
• Pet doors should be blocked off so a child cannot go through the door. Kids often try to follow animals outdoors.
• Avoid using tablecloths that hang over the edge of the table. They can be pulled down and everything on top can fall on your child.
• A baby must never be left unattended - even for just 30 seconds - outside or in a bathtub.
• Your garage must be off limits to children.
• Do not use tacks or staples to secure electrical cords to walls. They can fall or be pulled out and swallowed.
