You’re right! That graphic just seemed to walk away. Thanks for the heads up. It’s fixed now 🙂

I noticed that the infographic image is broken. I cant see it on this page, but I can see it on Pinterest.
It would be great if you fix it

Just remembered that I had one small cabinet that I kept plastic items in, that was not locked- so Little Man could have his safe cabinet to get into.

With my kid, most definitely!! With his developmental delays and his non-stop action, it was a must. We had a long gate that stretched around our fire place with the wood stove insert. The blinds that I ordered for our living room and dining area have no cords. I had the stairs gated top and bottom (but we mostly live in our ground floor). No house plants. Every cupboard and drawer in the kitchen was locked (there are some great locks these days). To this day, I have all the sharp knives and other cutting tools in one drawer. Locked the cabinets in the bathroom. Changed out the electric outlet covers to safety ones. Had padding around the top edge of the coffee table. Doors had the things over the knobs so Little Man couldn’t open them (with his weak hand strength, it was years before he could defeat those). And even with a toilet lid lock (yes, we needed to lock it), Little Man still managed to flush a pair of his sunglasses down. They were discovered when we had our septic tank inspected and pumped when L.M. was 7. I had always wondered what had happened to them. LOL!

No, we don’t need to go THAT crazy. I think the gates at the stairs is a must, as are the outlet covers and keeping cords and chemicals out of reach, but the rest is optional. A kid will find a way to get hurt eventually no matter how much bubble wrap you put them in

blinds cords out of reach yes
even outlet covers are a good idea

everything else? complete waste of time and money!
