Learning to crawl isn’t just an important developmental milestone, it marks the dawn of the childproofing era for parents. In a heartbeat, your sweet, sedentary infant transforms into curious explorer. Your home — once your child’s safe haven — is now a minefield of hidden hazards.
That’s why childproofing is so important. Each year, about 2,500,000 children are accidentally injured or killed by hazards in their homes¹. In fact, unintentional injury remains the leading cause of death for kids under 14². While there is no replacement for constant supervision, proactive childproofing can prevent many accidents.
But don’t worry…childproofing doesn’t have to be overwhelming! Begin by touring our childproofed home below for room-by-room tips and strategies. Then, view your own home from your child’s perspective: crawl through the house on hands and knees in search of tempting, eye-level dangers. You may be surprised by what you find.
Finally, head over to our Safety Department for solutions. We have one of the most comprehensive, current childproofing collections around, so you can find everything you need, all in one place.
