As soon as your baby starts crawling and then walking, your home becomes a playground for exploration... and potential dangers. Securing their environment is an absolute priority. Here is the complete TrioNest™ guide for a 100% baby-proof home.
🚧 Safety gates: essential from 6 months
Stair gates are the first thing to consider. There are two types:
- Pressure-mounted: easy to install, ideal for hallways and rooms (not for the top of stairs)
- Hardware-mounted: mandatory at the top of stairs, much more secure
Choose a gate certified EN 1930 and ensure it fits the width of your opening.

🔌 Socket covers: a simple, vital step
Electrical outlets are at the perfect height for curious little fingers. Equip all accessible outlets with rotating socket covers (safer than plug-in models). Expect to need around 20 to 30 socket covers for a standard home.
🗄️ Drawer and cabinet locks: protecting little fingers
Drawers and cabinet doors are sources of pinched fingers and falling heavy objects. Install:
- Magnetic drawer locks: invisible from the outside, very effective
- Cabinet locks: prevent slamming and pinched fingers
- Cupboard latches: essential for cleaning products and medications
📐 Corner and edge protectors
Coffee tables, dressers, shelves... right angles are dangerous for a falling baby. Foam or silicone corner protectors can be installed in seconds and prevent head injuries.
🪟 Windows and blinds: beware of cords
Blind cords pose a serious strangulation risk. Opt for cordless blinds or secure cords out of reach. Also, install opening restrictors on accessible windows.
