Bezpieczny dom dla dziecka: lista zabezpieczeń

When should I start baby-proofing?

Before your baby starts rolling and crawling (around 4–6 months). Do obvious hazards (outlet covers, cords, chemicals) even earlier.

What are the top essentials I shouldn’t skip?

Outlet covers, anchoring tip-prone furniture/TVs, locking chemicals and sharp tools, securing windows on upper floors, and a hardware-mounted gate at the top of stairs. The checklist marks the safety-critical ones as priority and counts heavy installs so you can plan.

Do I need a gate at both the top and bottom of stairs?

The AAP advises gates at both the top and bottom of stairs once your child is crawling, firmly mounted to the wall, and avoiding accordion-style gates. Never use a pressure-mounted gate at the top of stairs.

I rent — can I baby-proof without drilling?

Mostly. Turn on Renter-friendly only to hide optional hardware-mounted items and focus on adhesive/pressure options (edge bumpers, outlet covers, cabinet locks, etc.). Furniture and TV anchors, the top-of-stairs gate and window guards stay on the list: they matter in rentals too.

How does the tool adapt to my home?

Toggle features like Stairs, Upper floors, Balcony/Deck, Fireplace, and Pets — the checklist shows only relevant items (e.g., window guards, balcony nets, fireplace gates, pet-related locks).

What rooms does this cover?

General safety, living room, kitchen, bathroom, nursery/bedroom, stairs and windows, outdoors/balcony, travel/car, and monitoring and tools — all in one place.

How do progress and stats work?

Check items off to see your progress (how many are done of those shown), plus counts for Heavy installs and, with pets on, Pet-related items. You can see at a glance what’s left.
