The Ultimate Babyproofing Checklist Every Parent Needs

They grow quicker than you think — and once they’re on the move, everything’s fair game.

Babyproofing isn’t just about plug covers and stair gates. It’s about creating a safe environment where your little one can explore freely and confidently.

Use this ultimate checklist to babyproof your home, one room at a time.

🛋️ Living Room

• Secure TVs and furniture to the wall to prevent tipping

• Use corner protectors on sharp edges

• Hide electrical cords and install plug socket covers

• Keep decorative items and remote controls out of reach

• Ensure blinds have cordless safety features

🍽️ Kitchen

• Fit cupboard locks (especially under the sink!)

• Use stove knob covers and back burners when cooking

• Keep cleaning products, alcohol, and sharp utensils locked away

• Never leave hot drinks or pots near the edge of worktops

• Install a baby gate if needed to keep the kitchen off-limits

🚿 Bathroom

• Install toilet locks

• Keep medicines and cosmetics in high, locked cabinets

• Use non-slip bath mats and a soft faucet cover

• Never leave your baby unattended in the bath — even for a second

• Set water heater to a safe temperature (around 37–38°C)

🛏️ Nursery

• Ensure the cot mattress fits snugly

• Keep pillows, bumpers, and loose blankets out of the cot

• Anchor furniture like dressers and changing tables

• Use blackout blinds without cords

• Install a baby monitor for peace of mind

🛑 General Safety Tips

• Keep floors clear of small objects and choking hazards

• Store batteries, coins, and magnets out of reach

• Consider door pinch guards to protect little fingers

• Always crawl around your home to see it from a baby’s perspective!

👶 Final Thought:

Babyproofing isn’t about restricting your child — it’s about setting them free to explore safely. Start early and adapt as they grow.
