Many dangers, such as electrical sockets, will be obvious but one of the best ways to detect other potential dangers is to get down on your hands and knees in each of the rooms you’re going to let your child enter and then try to see the ‘world’ from their perspective. You’ll be amazed by the number of things you’ll have missed and additional hazards which, though they might seem innocuous to you, could be very dangerous to a baby or young child.

Before looking at some of the more common dangers, it’s important to remember that if there is any room or area in your house which you decide not to have childproofed, be sure that those rooms are kept firmly closed, using some kind of locking mechanism to prevent inquisitive toddlers, in particular, getting into.
