Safety

Baby-proofing & safer sleep, 0–3 years

Falls, burns and choking send more under-5s to A&E than anything else. A weekend with these checklists prevents most of them.

  • Anchor every wardrobe, chest of drawers and TV — toppling furniture is a leading cause of toddler deaths.
  • Cut grapes, cherry tomatoes and sausages lengthways into quarters until age 5.
  • Set hot water to 46°C max; turn pan handles inward; hair straighteners stay hot for 8+ minutes.
  • Rear-face car seats to at least 15 months (ideally 4 years), and NEVER in front of an active airbag.
  • Button batteries can burn through the oesophagus in 2 hours — A&E immediately if swallowed.
