Non-electrical Baby-proofing Checklist

Check the crib. Make sure it meets today’s safety standards.
Install window guards but remember they do not substitute parental supervision.
Attach safety latches and locks for toilets, cabinets or drawers.
Cut blind cords or use safety tassels and inner cord stops to ensure children don’t get entangled.
Put up safety gates in front of any stairs in the house.
Install corner and edge guards. These will prevent injuries from falls.
Use doorstops and door holders. Keep small fingers from getting crushed or pinched.
Make a kid-free zone. Keep kids away from grilling areas, or any structure that might contain tools, lawnmowers, etc.
