How to Babyproof Your House After Moving?

Posted by yash on November 11, 2024

Having a baby home can change the way you look at many things in your home. Suddenly, the items you have never thought of before, such as bookshelves and furniture, may seem like a potential threat. 

That’s why nowadays people are concerned with baby proofing their home before the baby arrives.

 

Is Childproofing Necessary After Moving?

The main problem when moving to a new home is that the new location will be unfamiliar to you, in the sense that you will not know all its secrets yet. Such a weird situation could conceal the possible dangers for even the most experienced adults, let alone the very young who begin the process of learning from scratch.

So when buying a house, make sure to look at it thoroughly before making your deal. Look for a condo for sale or an apartment for sale with a secure neighborhood.

 

Let’s learn how to protect children with our childproofing checklist.

Tie It Down

Time to protect your TVs and furniture – if possible. Use ropes of furniture to hold TVs, bookshelves, wardrobes, and other heavy furniture in place in any room where your child may be left alone, even for a minute. Do not put the TV on the dresser – it can be used for support by the kid. Place the bumps on the edge of any furniture with sharp edges.

Cover Plug Sockets

Power supplies for children with cover. A well-inserted plug socket can be closed even when the plug is out, locked in place so that the little fingers can’t pull the plug and accidentally touch the metal pins. Walk on your hands and knees and look around, so you do not miss any socks. For example, crawling under your desk may remind you of an area that is rarely used but has an active socket.

Magnetic Lock System

When your baby starts crawling, you will need to ensure that some cabinets and drawers are completely blocked. The smart thing about the magnetic drawer and door lock system is that it is safe for toddlers and invisible outside.

Bathroom

  •  You should protect your toilet with a safety latch that prevents your baby from lifting the lid and looking inside.
  • Be sure to keep your hairdryer and curling irons away from the counter. The hanging ropes may temp them to pull.
  • Store laundry and other dangerous items on the shelves, which are out of reach of children.

If your current house doesn’t seem safe for your baby, consider renting a new home; after all, safety comes first. Look for rental properties on Housal, apartment for rent, condo for rent, and townhouse for rent. Once you decide to move, the process seems exciting and fun.

Knives and Electronic Items 

Never leave a knife on the kitchen counter or the table. Also, keep sharp objects with sharp edges like food processors locked away and out of the reach of small children.

Small Items

Children love to play and put things in their mouths. Coins, buttons, screws, and other small objects can be dangerous, so make sure your child is safe.

 

Babyproofing your home makes it safer; however, it does not take the place of good supervision when your child is awake. So try to keep up with both. This checklist seems scary at first, but it goes surprisingly fast once you get started.
