Room-by-Room
Safety Tips for Kids
You can go a long
way in protecting your children by conducting a room-by-room
safety check. Follow our guide to learn the simple changes you
can make to turn your home into a baby-safe zone.
 | Don't buy a toy box with a heavy hinged lid -- it might
fall on your child when he reaches in to get a toy.
| To prevent scalding burns in the bathtub, make sure your
water heater is set to 120 degrees.
| Keep all rooms in your house free from small parts and
plastic bags.
| Consider opening windows from the top rather than from
the bottom, or installing hardware that limits how far the
bottom window can open.
| Shorten drapery and blind cords.
