When your child begins to reach an age when they start to become more mobile, baby proofing their surroundings is inevitable. One tip that experts recommend, is actually getting down on the ground yourself in order to find what is accessible to them at their height. The initial step to baby proofing should always be to cover electrical outlets, as these are at the same level as most crawling infants, and they post the highest risk when compared to other dangers.

Key Takeaways:

• To be an effective baby-proofer, you need to squat down and examine your home spaces from your baby’s point of view.
• Outlet covers are a good idea for outlets not currently in use.
• Position hard to move pieces of furniture in front of outlets that do have power cords inserted in them.
