Child proofing your home
Keep curious kids safe from the temptation to stick foreign objects into outlets or plugs.
- Unused wall outlets should be secured. Plastic inserts can be used but they can be pulled off and stuck in the mouth. Consider using safety outlets that prevent foreign objects from being inserted. You can also block outlets with the creative arrangement of furniture.
- If you're temporarily using extension cords, hide them behind furniture or use a hide-a-cord device. You can also put electrical tape over unused plug holes on cords.
- Put electrical devices such as DVD players on a shelf out of reach, or behind a barrier.
- Store bathroom and kitchen electrical appliances – like hair dryers and toasters – out of reach of curious children.
