5 simple steps to baby-proof your home - Tips for safety of toddlers, children below 8 years and elderly

Everyone having a child or even old parents have faced a situation when they hit a sharp edge of a well designed furniture and get injured. We have bought and collected these furnitures for our whole life and a lot of emotions and memories are associated with them not to mention the amount you had to shell out when you bought them.

Also, it is very difficult to get a new furniture that would fit your room like the existing one.

In these situations, the best way is to put some babyproof products on your furniture. After all, prevention is better than cure.





1. Put safe corners around sharp edges of table and beds without affecting their look and feel. (~ ₹500)

It is not only important that you remove any sharp corners, but you should also look for quality products which provides reliable stickiness and do not reduce the look and feel of the furniture. Fancyku products have very good review in Amazon and comes at a reasonable price. Just try it out.

2. Put safety locks on all drawers (~ ₹300)

Children and babies tend to open wardrobe and cupboard doors and because many of them may have stuffed utensils inside them, are open to chances of getting injured. The best way to prevent this is to put safety locks which can be opened by an adult easily but not babies.

3. You need to make sure your balcony has high grills for safety in case your flat/house is not in ground floor. (Price varies on size and location)

if you are residing in a high rise, it is essential that you cover your balcony with high railings with very small gaps in between. Babies do not understand height. This will also help small children and elderly who may have issues related to body balance to safely venture in balcony.


4. Cover all sharp edges with a good edge guard strip (~ ₹300)

You've already taken care of the sharp corners. But what about other sharp edges? SYGA baby safety products may help you in that.
