Statistics show unintentional death (accidents, injuries, poisoning, falls, etc.) as one of the 10 leading causes of death for babies and children ages 1-19. Some of these dangers can be reduced or eliminated by childproofing and babyproofing your home.

Babyproofing your home is something most parents-to-be consider before the birth of their first child. But no matter the ages of your children, childproofing and babyproofing your home is a safety solution that minimizes danger zones in your house. It’s also something that is age-specific for your property, too.

For example, if you have an older home, you should check to be sure lead paint has not been used (poisoning hazard). There’s also a chance you may have an electrical panel known for its design flaws and subsequent dangers (fires, shocks, and short circuits). We encourage our friends and neighbours to replace your Zinsco panel for peace of mind – yours and ours! Here are some additional parenting tips for babyproofing your home:
