Bathroom

Slippery surfaces, an open toilet, and a vanity full of things you don't want little hands in — the bathroom needs its own game plan separate from the rest of the house.

My little one wants to stand by the water and this has protected him from hitting his head and hindered him from putting his fingers up the faucet opening.

Once they're pulling up on furniture and cruising along the couch, the living room stops being a lounge space and starts being an obstacle course you need to secure ahead of time. They see it as an indoor playground!

Kitchen

The kitchen is like a curiosity zone with cabinet and drawer opening and exploring everything inside. To little ones, it all become fair game the second they can reach.

Reviews sold me. Perfect for the lower cabinet and drawers (not just in the kitchen/bathroom or laundry room too). User friendly and NO DRILL! I didn't want to loose the magnet like the other popular choice and struggled to open the push latch ones.
Cabinet Safety Locks

Our range knobs are on top, but a friend had these and I thought it was genius. I tried to open it and it was simple. She said it has been so nice even for the adults to be sure you don't move the dial on accident.
Stove Knob Covers

Outside

The backyard and driveway have their own hazards to be aware of. These are what we added once we moved to a house with a larger yard and pool to keep our infant and toddler safe!

Alarm system is a must, especially if your little likes to open doors. This system has a door feature that beeps when the door opens or closes in addition to watching them outside or for protection.
