But when is it time to replace the baby safety products for something more age-appropriate? And how can we be sure that the baby safety devices we buy have been tested for maximum child safety? Sometimes we have to use our own judgement when evaluating the risks and necessity of a particular baby safety product in baby's room. But there are also quite a few simple things every parent can do to keep accidents from happening. For instance, you could get a baby monitor. Baby monitors can help alert you when your baby is crying while you might be in a different part of your house and unable to hear him or her. Regular Check-Ups We don't mean medical visits here, but rather making a habit of regularly checking the intercom system that you have for monitoring baby. Most families use some kind of baby monitoring system whether it's just audio or audio/visual. These systems allow the care giver to move freely about the house while still ensuring baby safety. But they all require some maintenance. If it is a portable monitor make sure that the batteries have life in them. The better models have lights that let you know the batteries' condition. Making Baby's Room Safe When picking out the furniture for your baby's room, look for the certified seal of the Juvenile Products Manufacturing Association. These products will have been tested to meet certain levels of safety. Place the baby safety products away from windows when your child starts to pull up in his crib. Also, if your crib is a family heirloom and was built before 1973, make sure it's been sanded down and repainted with lead-free paint. Of course all the electrical sockets in the bedroom (and elsewhere) should be covered with tight fitting covers made expressly for this purpose. If you are going to put in a night light, buy one that can be screwed into the socket itself. That way there will not be a chance of baby pulling it out only to insert something else. And don't forget about car seats. To avoid future mishaps--make sure that baby's bedroom door cannot be locked. Many a toddler has locked himself in his room, or mama out! He might think it funny at first, but it can turn out to be a very stressful situation for both parent and child. Better to replace the doorknob for one without a lock. Another good precaution is bumpers that keep the bedroom door from slamming on little fingers. Putting a few of these baby safety products in your child's room will help put your mind at ease, especially when they begin to explore it for themselves.
