When a child begins to actively crawl and walk, the issue of his safety in the apartment becomes increasingly important.

No one will argue that it is better to take precautions in advance than to deal with the consequences later, so carefully study this list, in which we have listed the most dangerous places for a child in the apartment.

Windows

Remove all objects that can help the child reach the windowsill, such as chairs or boxes. Also install special window stoppers so that the child cannot open them. Remember that mosquito nets are not reliable protection against falls.

Sockets

To ensure the safety of a child in an apartment, it is necessary to cover the sockets with special plugs.

Furniture

Special protective attachments should be installed on sharp corners of furniture, and all hanging objects should be removed from shelves, just like tablecloths from tables, so that the child cannot pull them and tip something heavy on himself.

Ladder

If you have stairs, install a gate on them to prevent your child from getting through. Remember to close the gate when you leave the room.

Kitchen

There are also many dangers for a child in the kitchen. Lock the handles of the gas stove and oven and do not forget to hide matches, knives, forks, household chemicals and vinegar in a drawer that the child cannot open.
