What you should think about to make your apartment safe for children.
What safe home rules should you follow.
How to make your child's space safe
Use removable handles, special locks, window blockers.
Move furniture away from the window so that your baby can climb onto the windowsill.
Remove household chemicals, perfumes, cosmetics, medicines, piercing and cutting objects, small objects (buttons, paper clips, coins, etc.) from the child’s access area.
How can you protect corners from children
Soft rubber pads will help protect the child from hitting sharp corners, which will prevent the baby from hitting himself.
All sockets that are within a child’s reach must be closed with special plugs.
They can be easily removed using a plug from an electrical appliance, but they are almost impossible to reach by hand.
How to secure handrails from children
The width of the partition is equal to the width of the flight, the height is higher than the child’s chest so that he cannot climb over the obstacle.
The staircase railings on the first floor are fastened with spacers, on the second and above they are fixed rigidly for greater reliability.
Do not attach partitions to the bottom struts, which are easy to trip and fall on.
Avoid smooth steps. Cover them with carpet or anti-slip tapes of the greatest width.
A more radical method is to paint the steps with paint containing finely dispersed material (crumbs).
A rough surface is another step towards a safe staircase.
