The Importance of Keeping Your Child Safe in Your Home

When parents think about child safety there are many things that come to mind, ensuring they wear helmets when riding a bike, wear seatbelts when in the car and so on. The truth is however, child safety begins at home, where families spend the most time. This is why it’s so important to take preventative measures to ensure your home is childproof and does not pose unnecessary risk to your children like installing child safety gates to prevent falls.

While you may feel like your home is generally a safe place, from the perspective of a child or infant, there are actually many dangers especially when it comes to the dangers of falling. Without safety measures in place, ordinary objects become high risk items that can seriously injure your child.

Childstats.gov reports that unintentional injury deaths in children is the leading cause of death for children ages 1–4 and ages 5–14. Additionally, when nonfatal injuries occur, they contribute to causes of child morbidity, disability, and reduced quality of life. Furthermore, the CDC reports that unintentional injuries like those caused by burns, drowning, poisoning and falls are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children in the United States. Each year, more than 12,000 children under the age of 19 die from unintentional injuries and more than 9.2 million are treated in emergency departments for nonfatal injuries.

Child safety in your home is not something to be ignored. The good news is Child Safety Store has everything you need to make your home a safer place for your family. We sell different child safety products by Safety 1st, from appliance locks to stairway safety gates.

Preventing Falls in Your Home Using Safety 1st Childproofing Products

The stairs of your home pose one of the greatest risks to your children. Even falling down just a few steps can cause a head injury or cause a broken bone.  Falls are extremely common with children because they are unsteady on their feet, are running through the home unaware of their surroundings or climbing on railings. All of these factors can contribute to serious injury and in extreme cases even death. Here are some helpful tips for preventing falls in your home:

  • Keep doorways leading to areas with steps secured with Safety 1st door knob covers
  • Keep safety gates at the top and bottom of each stairway
  • Put skid-proof pads underneath all rugs especially ones near stairs
  • Keep a close eye on your child when they are playing or walking near interior stairs, deck stairs, or porch steps.
  • Install Safety 1st safety gates in doorways leading to rooms with balconies and porches.

We offer our customers a variety of Safety 1st child and baby safety gates, and railnets for your home that will fit in a variety of doorways, stairway entryways, and address the safety risks posed by stairs.

Preventing Infant Falls

While infants are less susceptible to the risks found in your home, the moment they begin to crawl you need to have baby proofing measures in place. Safety 1st childproof gates or railnets will help to prevent your child from falling down the stairs or off of your deck or patio which will drastically reduce their risk of injury. Even a crawling child can fall down steps and sustain a serious injury which is why it’s so important to have safety gates installed in your home to ensure the safety of your children.
