Babyproofing

Age & Stage

Babyproofing

The moment they become mobile, the whole house suddenly looks different. They can get from one room to another, reach things they’ve never been able to reach before, and are determined to touch absolutely everything they shouldn’t.

Nobody really plans for this part early enough. You’re too busy surviving the newborn stage and then, suddenly, you’re crawling around the lounge on your hands and knees, seeing every plug socket, coffee table corner and cupboard of cleaning products for what it actually is.

The panic is normal — and honestly, it’s useful. It just helps to know what you’re looking for before they get there.

Creating a Safe Space for Little Explorers

The best way to approach this is to get down to their level and look at the world from their point of view. Start with the floor, then anything within pulling-up height, and work your way through stairs, doors and the places they’re most likely to explore. Kitchens and bathrooms usually need the most attention, while lounges tend to have plenty of corners and edges to think about.

Explore the essentials for making your home a little safer as they become more mobile — from stair gates and corner protection to cupboard catches, door safety and appliance protection. The goal isn’t to make your home completely risk-free, but to make it safer for them to explore their new-found freedom.

Drawer & Cupboard Locks

Locks and latches that keep drawers and cupboards firmly shut. From adhesive strap locks and magnetic latches, to sliding cabinet locks for handles that sit side by side. This collection is designed to help you keep cleaning products, medicines and sharp utensils out of reach in every room.

Corner & Edge Guards

Soft padding for the sharp edges at exactly your baby's head height. From clear corner cushions and adhesive edge strips, to guards for coffee tables, shelves and cabinet corners. This collection is designed to help you soften the knocks that come with learning to crawl, cruise and walk.

Electronic & Appliance Locks

Simple locks that keep curious hands out of the things that plug in. From plug socket covers and cord shorteners, to oven, fridge and appliance door locks. This collection is designed to help you make the kitchen and living areas safer without giving up the appliances you use every day.

Doorway Gates & Extensions

Gates to close off the parts of your home your baby isn't ready for. From pressure-fit and screw-mounted gates, to extension panels for wider doorways and open-plan spaces. This collection is designed to help you set safe boundaries at stairs, kitchens and doorways, so your baby can roam the rest freely.
