15 Baby Safety Items Every Home Should Have
My eight-month-old boy just became mobile. As a man who stuck a finger in a power socket as a baby, I’m pretty sensitive to the dangers of curious little fingers, toes and tongues (the “taste everything” phase is now overlapping with the “roll to everything” phase). Of course, most parents are conscientious about safe cribs, toys and other items for the baby, but may overlook dangers outside the nursery and around the rest of the house. Here are 15 important baby safety items that are either in place around my house or will be there before my little man takes his first step.
From outlet covers to first air kits, parents have plenty of options for keeping babies safe. Still, you can take it too far. Baby superstores are full of bathtub thermometers and small item testers. I can gauge the temperature of the bath with my wrist, and can guess if something fits in baby’s mouth without an extra gadget.
