Making your home safe for your toddler
When should I start making my home safe for my toddler?
As your baby becomes mobile and begins to explore, safety at home becomes a crucial concern. This factsheet describes a number of safety devices that are available and measures you can take to help prevent accidents in the home. However, some places and activities will always pose a danger to your child. It’s essential, therefore, that you assess your home environment, identify the dangers, and teach your toddler about them at the earliest opportunity.
Safety barriers
Extension kits are available for most gates. Make sure that it is attached according to the manufacturer’s instructions. There are two types of barrier:
Walk-through gates these either have an integral frame that extends to grip the gap securely and a swing door, or are gates with hinges, which attach to the wall. The two-way opening gate offers more flexibility and convenience.
Barriers Block a gap and are easily detachable but they have no gate for access. Adults may be tempted to climb over them rather than release and then re-fix them, which makes them a hazard when used at the top of the stairs.
Locks
Window locks Can either keep windows shut securely or allow them to be opened to a limited degree for ventilation, but still prevent small children from escaping through them.
Fridge/freezer locks Protect children from bumping into an open fridge door and prevent accidents with any breakable objects inside. They are generally fitted with adhesive pads and are convenient to use.
TV and video locks protect a toddler from accidents and potential electric shocks and will protect your valuable equipment from damage. They may block the video-cassette slot, or shield the full length of the video player to protect the slot and the controls. Check that when fitted, the appliance can still be operated via the remote control.
Safety guards
Safety guards will help you protect your child from burns or injury from heat and power appliances.
Fire guards Essential if you have any type of fire in your home. They should be fixed to the wall on either side of a fire or fireplace. Although many fire guards can be adjusted to fit a range of widths, check that the guard you buy is suitable for your style of fire and make sure that it is firmly secured.
Cooker and hob guards Designed to prevent your child reaching up and pulling saucepans down from your cooker hob. Guards vary from simple metal rails around the hob to projecting shelves that prevent hands from reaching up and over. Always remember to turn saucepan handles away from the edge of the hob.
Glass safety
Where possible, remove glass furniture such as glass coffee tables while you have young children in the house. Glass in windows, doors and in furniture that cannot be removed should be made safe.
Safety glass If possible when you’re buying new or replacement glazing put in safety glass, especially for internal or patio doors. This toughened glass rarely breaks, but if it does it shatters into small pieces, which are relatively harmless.
Fire safety
Smoke detectors – should be installed near your child’s bedroom as well as in the other recommended areas in your home. Check that your smoke detectors carry the British Standards ‘kite mark’ and look for those with an alarm test facility and a ‘battery low’ warning signal. Other fire safety items include:
Accident prevention
Corner protectors- these are normally rounded plastic or rubber corner pieces that can be fitted with adhesive pads to the corners of your furniture.
Door protectors- can be fitted on the inside door hinge to prevent trapping and over the top of a door to prevent the door from slamming shut on fingers accidentally.
Light switch adapters- for older children you might consider adapting light switches to enable your child to reach and turn on the light. These are particularly helpful along hallways and for lavatory visits during the night.

Normally when I think of home safes, I think of small, square and very heavy metal safes for securing away your valuable with a combination lock. But today, in such a fast paced and evolving world, we are not limited by such narrow guidelines. Home safes today come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes, different types of locking mechanisms and are designed to hold different types of items.
There are closet vault home safes that are designed to be installed in between the wall studs, with the door and frame of the safe protruding 2” to provide extra internal depths. These safes are great hidden in a closet or concealed behind a door. Great for small household valuables and firearms without taking up floor space.
You can also get compact home safes that are a top opening security case with a classic slim design. These small safes are only about 9” wide, 7” deep and 2” high. Many have a hole in the back to allow a cable or pad lock to be used to secure the case to most surfaces, enabling the safe to be transportable. Perfect for small items and papers.
Similar to compact safes in size and shape, are desk home safes that are designed to be mounted under a surface. They have a front opening and often include a quick release mounting bracket. Some even have a slide out drawer for easy access to its contents.
Security chests are the most popular forms of home safes. Small and compact, normally take a key lock and easily transported. It is an inexpensive way to protect your families important documents.
A type of home safes that was not needed until recently, are data protection chests. You place your own data storage device (external hard drive, flash drive etc.) inside. The chest has a USB port so that you can hook up your computer directly to the device without removing it from the chest, making it easy to back up you digital files. A special safe for digital media is important because digital media is damaged at lower temperatures than paper media. Besides hard drives, these are perfect for storing memory cards, iPods, CD’s and DVD’s, and digital camera’s.
Of course, after data protection chests, the next logical step was an all-in-one unit, a hard drive that is itself fire resistant and water proof. These devices became a reality just last year.
Not only is there a variety of different home safes, but they come with different types of locking mechanisms. Naturally, there is the old fashioned combination locks that you turn left-right-left, and can consist of a multiple amount of numbers. A variation of turning the knob, is the modern electronic combination safes. You still have to memorize the combination, but you gain access by a push of the buttons. Many smaller home safes, such as the chests, have key locks. These are great for quick access, but don’t lose the key, and it does no good to keep the spare in the safe!
Now, if you are terrible and remembering numbers and afraid of losing the key, then new technology is available for you. As seen in movies and modern, high tech buildings, you can get a small safe (BioVault) that permits access using fingerprint technology. These home safes are easily programmable and can store up to 50 authorized fingerprints in its memory. This is almost a must have just because of its cool factor!
But regardless of what you decide, home safes are necessary for every home, to help protect important documents and valuables. But shop around, and you will be pleased with the variety of sizes and functions of home safes available, and choose the locking mechanism that works best for you!
