Ok, so the pride of your little angel starting to crawl or taking their first step has been replaced with the realisation that your home is going to turn into your Childs playground. It can be quite a shock when items that your child couldn’t reach before become fair game, from baby books in the video player to car keys in the toilet, your little angel could soon become a little terror.

Like with anything, the best way to tackle something is to know what you’re dealing with, so get on your hands and knees and view your home from the eyes of your tot. Child safety products come in all shapes and sizes, for any first time mum picking up the right safety essentials can be a daunting task but you can pick up a child safety product starter pack as a base point. Child safety product starter packs include essentials like cupboard locks, video locks (to avoid those baby books!), corner protectors and plug protectors. You’ll also need to purchase child safety gates, stair gates don’t just have to go on stars – you can put them anywhere you don’t want your baby to be able to go (kitchens, patio doors and more).

Take a look at the full range of child safety product essentials including starter packs and stair gates in our safety essentials section.
