For children, especially babies and young children, indoor "traps" are even more worrying than street hazards. Washing machines, sockets, table edges ..., so many "deadly traps" exist in your own home.
Unlike adults, children, especially young children, cannot understand and know exactly what could be harmful to them. With a curiosity and an adventurous mentality, your baby can try anything that feels "interesting" and not foresee the possible consequences. Therefore, to protect the safety of the baby, parents always have to "be one step ahead", limit and minimize the risks that children may face.
Just a second of neglect, an unfortunate accident could have happened
1 / Set "safe mode" for the house
- Set fire alarm, water temperature lock below 40 degrees and set safety switch or circuit breaker for indoor operation.

- With tools and equipment with springs or chains, you should have an outside cover to protect your baby's beautiful little hands. Chances are, the baby will stick his hand in and get stuck there, mom.
- It is recommended to use sheathing boxes or outlets that are not used indoors. Ideally, the switch and the power outlet should be designed at a high, out of reach of children.

There is no danger, but the baby can still injure himself during play.
