now that ava's on the move i've bought safety gates and drawer catches, is there anything else I should buy?

the corner protectors for any low tables (although Tyler ended up pulling them off) and cupboard locks... nasty getting little fingers caught in them

oh and plug covers. Tyler LOVES putting his fingers in holes so glad we got them!

do u have blinds? since reading.. think it was on here... of a baby strangling them selfs with the cord, i have a fear of blinds! keep any cords tied up out of babys reach. all bahroom products, mop buckets too...

Do you have a hearth? We couldnt live without our big surround fireguard. Even though our fire is just like an electric blow heater with flame effect the guard is great because it stops her from falling into corners of the stone hearth and also means we can keep a few ornaments out and they are protected from being smashed.

We have;
Corner protectors (ripped them all off)
Cupboard locks (he can now open)
plug protectors (he can now take out)
An oven door safety catch (he can now open)
Fridge/freezer catches (he has mastered the art of moving but unable to open the freezer door at the same time)
Knob guards (for your cookers ya dirrrty lot ) - ours are ontop of the cooker hob

We never bothered with them door safety things, ya know the ones so they don't catch their fingers in the doors etc as he's always been really good in that respect.
Also the blind cord things that Laura mentioned, they are a good idea. We never needed as we have really high windows.

We did have a fireguard but got rid of it now as we dont really use the fire and she is not really interested in it. We have the plug covers and that is about it i think. The safety equipment i really need is an extra set of eyes in the back of my head.....

PMSL Zee !!! Same here, Cerys has managed to work out the locks, covers etc. Toddlers are very clever hee hee x

i wish i hadn't asked now scary stuff! i didn't really want to get a fire guard, we have a marble hearth but I just cover that with cushions, problem is now she can scale up the cushions to grab the coal out of the fire to chew on, they grow up far too quickly.

ive got a padded "door draft excluder", its like a giant sausage lol I used to put that along our marble hearth x
