Baby-proofing Your Home

[khriseeee]

Now that my daughter is on the move, I need to put more thought into baby-proofing our home and I'd love to hear your ideas/suggestions!

What we have done
-Put nets over our electric fans
-Safety First electric plug covers (useless, my baby puled them of and gave them to me)

I need help on the following:
-What do I use to cover sharp corners of our coffee table/TV table
-Effective electric plug covers!
-How do i secure our TV, I do not want to wall mount it yet, but I'm afraid it may topple over
-How to keep doors from slamming shut

khriseeee, you may check here for safety 1st home safety products.

http://safety1st.djgusa.com/en/djgusa/search/home-safety

check here for outlet covers

these are what we have:

safety gate - we don't have stairs inside our condo unit but i got this for her bedroom door. i didn't want her and the yaya to be alone in the room with the door closed when i am working from home so i got this so they could keep the door open without baby having to come to me now and then,

pinch guard for the doors to keep them from slamming shut

multi purpose latch - we used this type for the fridge, drawers, cabinets with side by side doors. i didn't want to drill holes into my cabinets for this kind of cabinet lock. this type didn't work for us because of the design of our cabinet handles/knobs.

corner guards - i'm lucky my daughter didn't get so fascinated by them to try to remove them. same goes for the outlet covers. we use this kind up to now.

all these are available locally.

thanks sis bluegintonic! Are those available locally?

Thanks sis clueless! I can't leave the door open since the wind at our condo is really strong, no doorstop (and even dumbells!) will keep it open. Ok lang, my daughter's room is right at the living room where I work and I can hear them.

Where can I find the largest selection of Safety 1st products, not all places are complete e. And do other lines aside from Safety 1st have babyproofing items? I purchased the infant grooming kits and was dismayed that the nasal aspirator basically fell apart when I touched it. Now the electric plugs aren't kiddie proof either! My daughter was so proud pa when she handed me the plug covers, she had a huge smile on her face! I'm hoping the one with the push-sides will work.

^ sis, mothercare also has some house-brand safety items. you may want to check those out din. ikea also has some i think.

safety first and the first years i think are the most common. not sure what other brands have similar products.

not sure eh..I'm in aussie so I buy mine majority here.I have 2 safety gates by The First years,one for her room and one for my walk in closet ( na madalas nya puntahan at kalatan).yung table cover baka pwede magpasadya ka jan, it's like a big ironing board cover na padded lang naman. for me kasi I don't need table corner covers kasi I don't have a coffee table she can bump into and she knows naman to avoid corner ng dining table. She's not curious about electrical outlets but I did get a multi-purpose appliance cover kasi naabot na nya buttons ng dishwasher (nasira na rin nya!).What I wish na may cover against kids is yung spout ng water dispenser.My TV's wall mounted so I don't have a risk of it toppling over her.
