Talk to them: As your child grows older, make sure you talk to your child about why certain things are off-limits. It’s an excellent time to talk about boundaries and how they can take charge of their safety.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nFrequently Asked Questions <\/h2>\nHow do I remove the adhesive residue? <\/h3>\n
The adhesive in most baby-proof drawer locks leaves no residue. However, depending on how long the lock has been in place, you will almost certainly be dealing with residue. A solvent is the best way to remove it. Many homeowners swear by a squirt of WD-40, hand sanitizer, or Goo Gone to remove stubborn stains. When you’re finished, don’t forget to wipe the solvent off your drawer!<\/p>\n
Will baby-proof locks keep nosy pets like cats out? <\/h3>\n
Yes, indeed! Many four-legged family members must be shielded from their inquisitiveness. Whether it’s a trash can that needs to be secured or a toilet lid that needs to be kept down, most baby-proofing products also keep animals out.<\/p>\n
What would I do if I lost my magnetic key?<\/h3>\n
Purchasing a replacement key is the simplest option. If you can’t find one, you might have to buy another magnetic baby proofing system. But, some parents have used fridge magnets to get the job done!<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t have the time or money to do babyproof things. What should I put first? <\/h3>\n
Every penny matters to parents. When it comes to babyproofing, pay special attention to anything that is at your baby’s eye level, especially if it is something that could cause them long-term harm, such as electrical outlets or drawers full of cleaning supplies.<\/p>\n
Should I hire a professional to install babyproof? <\/h3>\n
Self-installation is fine for most homes and most baby-proofing products. Some companies will come in and do it for you, ensuring that no safety precautions are overlooked, but most parents prefer to do it themselves. Of course, you’ll need to keep an eye on your child regardless of who installs your products. No one can replace you!<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n
To be safe, buy latches and locks for all your drawers until your children are old enough to use discernment. Curiosity and creativity in children will lead them to discover new places you never imagined would be appealing to them. Regardless of how to lock drawers from toddlers you choose, it is important to protect your toddler from dangerous household objects by holding drawers secured.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
