Our hearts leap with pride and joy as our little one learns to crawl for the first time. We sit and stare in wonderment as they take their first independent steps. Then if we are not prepared it can suddenly dawn on us that we have so little control over where they decide they want to explore!

From birth though their early years, our children are completely dependent on us as parents and carers for their safety and well being. Although most of us are aware of the need to follow our moving baby around constantly checking for dangers signs as they explore, very few new parents are aware of the potential dangers newborns are exposed to in the home.
