A home, no matter how comfortable it can be, is not always built and designed to keep children safe. There are always edges, corners, and other things that can be dangerous to a child that does not know about safety just yet. Luckily, there are now several baby-proofing methods that can be done and used.
1. Bath Tub Thermometer
Handling the bath of a baby can be nerve-racking since they need to be handled with extra care. There are other factors that need to be considered including the kind of soap you use, as well as the right temperature an infant should bathe in.
To make sure that the water is just right, you can use a baby bath thermometer. This product can float on the bathtub for continuous monitoring of the temperature. It has an LED screen that displays the current temp, and a light flashing function that tells you if the water is too hot or cold.
2. Self-Closing Outlet Covers
Babies and toddlers are naturally curious. They will play with anything they can get their hands on, which is why it's important to keep your outlets covered at all times. Socket plugs and caps are good and all, but they can be a choking hazard.
Self-closing outlets are the better option since you can screw easily screw it in or attach it to the outlet itself. As indicated in the name, the plates that cover the socket's holes will automatically slide shut as soon as the electrical cord is unplugged.
3. Water Leak Detector
The detector will alert the adults if there has been an overflow that flooded the floor. This can be placed in a lot of areas in the house like the bathroom, the kitchen, and even the basement. Adults tend to make mistakes at home too.
Accidentally leaving a water outlet on could cause flooding, which could be dangerous for little ones as they can slip. There are also instances when leaks happen and it takes a while before they are detected without alarms in place.
4. Baby Monitor
Baby monitors are a way of watching your kid even when you're not around them. It's impossible to be by their side at all times since there are a lot of things to do. This way, you can keep an eye on them remotely through a screen or an app.
The Chillax Giraffe Pro Smart, unlike other baby monitors, has a gooseneck, so you can adjust it for better camera coverage. It's also a clip so it's easier to set up. It comes with a speaker, mic, and a Full HD camera, along with security features so you can control who can view the video feed.
5. Cord Organizer
Cords are already trouble enough for adults, so much so for babies and toddlers. Not only are they dangerous since anyone can trip on them, but they can also be wrapped around the body parts of the child. Even though it's not as likely, they may even be electrocuted by it.
This is why cord organizers are important, especially since it's likely that a household has more than one wired electronic. This particular cord organizer can be attached to the electronic itself and is able to hold the cords neatly whether it's in use or not.
