Home safety
A room-by-room baby-proofing checklist
Baby-proofing is easier when it is broken into rooms and revisited as your child becomes more mobile.
Get low and look around
A floor-level view makes loose cords, reachable cabinets, unstable furniture, and small objects much easier to notice. Begin with the rooms your baby uses most.
Focus on the immediate environment first, then work outward. Your home does not need to be finished in a day.
Recheck as abilities change
Rolling, crawling, pulling up, and climbing change what is reachable. A checklist is worth revisiting when your child reaches a new stage.
For product-specific safety questions or urgent hazards, use guidance from qualified local safety and health professionals.
