Expecting a child is a wonderful experience, but can be a busy period of preparing for the radical changes that are about to happen in your life. However, one thing that shouldn't be forgotten is your home. Ensuring that you make sure your Caboolture real estate is childproofed for the imminent arrival of your own little bundle of joy is an essential task to take care of.
Here are some of the common hazards that should be attended to before your child arrives.
Staircases
These are a danger to young children learning their own motor skills and should be taken care of beforehand. Something as simple as a stair guard can prevent them from attempting to go up and down the staircase, giving you peace of mind in the future.
Cover up power outlets
Childhood curiosity knows no boundaries, which makes electrical outlets a potential problem for parents. If you have exposed outlets, it could be worth trying to cover them up with furniture and other obstacles that can't be easily moved by a child.
Alternatively, there are plastic outlet blockers that can stop your child from being able to insert objects into the socket, protecting them from any harmful shocks.
