Childproofing checklist?
Emily is starting to be alot more mobile, though not crawling yet. She
scoots around though! I was wondering if anyone knows of an online checklist that covers most of the basics. I know the obvious stuff, but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything. Betsy |

Childproofing checklist?
Basically I waited to see what would be a problem and went from there. For
example, my girls never bothered electrical outlets, but when I babysat for my nephew while my sister worked, he would not leave them alone. I put covers over them. -- Sue (mom to three girls) "determined" wrote in message . .. Emily is starting to be alot more mobile, though not crawling yet. She scoots around though!

Betsy I worked with the "lethal or precious" rule and anything that came into either of thsoe categories, I moved. In the end, we used two child proofing devices - the drawer where my passport, the chequebook and a few other important documents live and the laundry door had a gate across it because the kitty litter was in there. There was also a catch on the laundry cupboard - but that was to keep the cats out! I figured that the world isn't childproof, so I did a LOT of redirection. Plus, most of our furniture isn't suited to child proofing. But I really think it will depend on your kid's personality, and if she's the kind of kid who will take *No* for an answer. Arte |

I know the obvious stuff, but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything. The only thing we have done is put edges on the coffee table as ds had a tendancy to bang his head, and socket covers as he likes to play with the switches. We have a stairgate to the kitchen as there is a step down to concrete tiles. He has just learnt to climb the stairs so that will get gated too. Otherwise we just move stuff out of reach and tell him no when he tries to play with tv wires. He has learnt either to duck to get things under the table or ask (whine or 'uh and point') for us to get it. Jeni |

I guess I remember when my first was little (9 yrs ago) we did minimal changes and she survived! I figured the outlets would need covering and the stairs need to be blocked. Emily responds well to NO. |
