Baby safety at home: gates, drawer locks, essentials

Sécurité bébé à la maison : barrières, bloque-tiroirs, les essentiels TrioNest™

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.
