Baby proofing is on any parent with young children in mind, but no matter how many times people tell you, you still aren’t quite prepared.

Check out some of the best baby proofing products and tried and true ways to baby proof your house to prepare for your little one on the move.
Baby proof cabinets
Many people store chemicals, cleaners, and other harmful substances in cabinets under sinks. For this reason, we suggest making cabinets one of the first things to tackle when baby proofing.
There are a few ways to baby proof cabinets:
Baby proof drawers
Another way to baby proof your drawers is using a baby proofing strap. This prevents your baby from being able to open the drawer at all. The straps go over the top of the drawer and onto a non-movable surface. To open, you press a button to release the strap and can use the drawer like usual.
These straps are also great for things like ovens, microwaves, fridges, and any other devices you don’t want your child getting into. Make sure if you’re using it on a surface that gets hot, like an oven, that the strap is rated for heat.
Baby proof door handle
Your baby won’t be able to open the doors until well into toddlerhood, but preparing for this day up-front is better than waiting and having to scramble. Depending on the type of door handles you have, you might not have to modify them too much.
When it comes to safety, it’s easy to say you’ll spare no expense. But when funds are tight, you might have to make some tough choices. We have a couple of suggestions to help you save on baby proofing products:
If these baby proofing products are going to last multiple toddlers, you might want to be prepared for a few to break along the way. Even the sturdiest of products can’t keep up with a rambunctious toddler. Getting an extended warranty will help protect your investment for years to come.
