Let’s talk about babyproofing! It may be summer, but that doesn’t mean that we get to take a vacation from babyproofing. If you have little ones running around (or crawling), you are definitely going to want to make sure you have taken care of baby-proofing porches, driveways, and of course the inside of your home as well. Below are 3 Must-Have Items from KidCo that will make fun in the sun that much safer. Don’t forget the sunscreen and stay hydrated, too!
Patio and Porch Protection
Slats on patios and porches may look safe, but small children (and pets) can slip or get arms and legs stuck through the rail openings. A Mesh Rail Guard can prevent these accidents from happening as well as objects accidentally falling. This version from KidCo has 33” x 15’ netting and includes 50 zip ties.
Window Safety
When the weather is warmer it is a pleasure to open the windows and feel the fresh air. To prevent dangerous falls remove furniture or anything that your child can use to climb or stand on the window. Install window guards or stops on windows as window screens cannot handle the weight of a child and will not prevent a fall. KidCo offers Mesh Window Guards and also a window stop.
Vest Visibility
At dusk or nighttime, it can be difficult to see children who are playing or walking. The KidCo Reflective Vest is a quick and easy pullover design that is visible day or night, making a child noticeable while at play. An elastic stretch waistband fits walking children to age 3 and it’s also machine washable.
