Product Information

If the gaps between banisters or balcony railings are more than 6.5cm (2.5 inches) wide, cover them with boards or safety netting.

Watch where you're putting your feet while carrying your baby. It's easy to trip over something like a toy. Special devices can stop doors from closing properly, preventing your child's fingers getting trapped. At night, remember to close doors to stop any potential fires from spreading. Baths are the commonest place for babies and young children to drown. Stay with your baby or toddler the whole time they're in the bath. Never leave them for a moment, even if there's an older brother or sister in the bath with them. Food is the most common thing for babies and toddlers to choke on. Young children may also put small objects in their mouths that could cause choking.When you've finished using your iron or hair straighteners, put them out of reach while they cool down. Make sure your child cannot grab the flex while you're using them. Keep toys and garden play equipment well away from washing lines, so that children cannot stand on them and reach the line.

Work out an escape plan for your family and tell your children what to do in case of a fire. Practise the plan regularly. If you have an open fireplace, always use a fireguard that encloses the whole fireplace and make sure it's attached to the wall. Do not place anything on it or hang things from it. Carry on using safety gates at the top and bottom of stairs until your infant is at least 2 years old. Start to teach your child how to climb stairs, but never let them go up and down on their own (even 4 year olds may need some help). At night, switch off electrical items before you go to bed and close all doors to contain a potential fire.Do not leave your baby unattended on a bed, sofa or changing table, even for a second, as they could roll off. If the gaps between banisters or balcony railings are more than 6.5cm (2.5 inches) wide, cover them with boards or safety netting. Small babies may be able to squeeze their bodies through, but not their heads. Avoid using cot bumpers in your baby's cot – they are a hazard for choking, suffocation and strangulation. See more about reducing the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

Extinguish and dispose of cigarettes, cigars and pipes carefully, particularly at night or if you are tired. Fit safety gates to stop your baby getting onto stairs. Close the gates properly after you go through them.

Falls and injuries in toddlers

Always keep bouncing cradles or baby car seats on the floor, rather than on a table or kitchen worktop, as your baby's wriggling could tip it over the edge. Each year thousands of under-5s are admitted to hospital following accidents, and lots of these accidents are preventable. Stay with your child when they're eating. Encourage them to sit still while they eat, as running around while eating could make them choke. Fit smoke alarms on every level of your home. Test them every week and change the batteries every year. Once they learn to crawl, babies may try to climb onto things, such as sofas, which increases the risk of falling.
