Once your toddler gets to experience the freedom of roaming around in their room, it doesn&#8217;t take much for an accident to occur. So paying attention to detail is important.<\/p>\n<p>To child proof a room perfectly, these are the main items you will want to pay attention to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Furniture<\/strong> &#8211; Over 15,000 children take a trip to the ER from tipping furniture such as dressers and televisions. To avoid this problem, look into purchasing some furniture wall straps and adhere them to the wall.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Windows<\/strong> &#8211; If you tend to leave your windows open, your adventurous climber may fall out. Mesh window guards or a window stopper will keep them inside and away from the streets.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Small Objects<\/strong> &#8211; Everyone knows that little kids put anything and everything into their mouths. This is a no-brainer, but make sure to keep choking hazards out of reach. If it fits through a toilet paper roll, keep it away.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Electricity and Wiring<\/strong> &#8211; Conceal your wiring and put safe plates on your electrical outlets. Young kids learn things from you quite quickly, so keep this in mind.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stair Gates<\/strong> &#8211; If the bedrooms are upstairs, keep your little one off the stairs by using a child proof gate. A tumble-free child is a happy one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Carpet<\/strong> &#8211; You may want to consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\" target=\"_blank\">new carpet<\/a> if you have hard-surface flooring. Carpeting softens slips and falls by adding a comfortable layer for toddlers to land on. Having a hard floor may cause more damage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Door Knob Locks<\/strong> &#8211; Invest in some door knob locks to keep your child out of rooms they shouldn&#8217;t be in.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Monitors<\/strong> &#8211; Place monitors around the home to keep your child safe and your mind at ease. If you want top notch monitoring, video monitors are available as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"padding-bottom: 7px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/carpet-banner.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1113 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/carpet-banner.jpg\" alt=\"child proof gates\" width=\"900\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/carpet-banner.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/carpet-banner-300x87.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"padding-bottom: 7px;\">Soften your Floors with The Carpet Guys<\/h2>\n<p>When you need to <em>cushion your floors for your little one<\/em>, we have you covered.
