Tap what your child is doing now. You will get a checklist for this stage. Tap each item when it is done. Your checkmarks stay on this device.
This tool gives parents a simple childproofing checklist for each stage: newborn and rolling, crawling and pulling up, walking, and climbing. Tap what your child is doing now, then tick off each item as you do it. Your checkmarks are saved on your device.
The list covers the most common serious home injuries in young children: falls, drowning, burns, poisoning, choking, strangling on cords, and furniture or TVs tipping over. It includes safe sleep, water heater temperature, safety gates, furniture anchors, locked medicines, window stops, pool fences and safe gun storage.
The checklist follows the American Academy of Pediatrics, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the CDC.
Start before your baby can roll and crawl, usually by 4 to 6 months. Some steps, like safe sleep, a rear-facing car seat, smoke alarms and setting the water heater to 120°F, matter from day one.
There is no single step, but the biggest dangers are drowning, falls, poisoning and furniture tip-overs. Always watch children near water, use stair gates, lock up medicines and cleaners, and anchor TVs and furniture to the wall.
If it fits through a toilet paper tube, it is small enough to choke a young child. Keep coins, button batteries, magnets, small toy parts and balloons away from children under 4.
