Build a room-by-room baby proofing checklist with Dreambaby outlet plugs, corner cushions and safety catches. Decision rules for choosing the right fix.
Quick answer
Start with the hazards your child can reach today: keyed outlet plugs for exposed power points, corner cushions for low furniture edges, and safety catches or angle locks for cupboards and drawers. Buy the Dreambaby pieces that match those three risks first, then add more as your baby becomes mobile.
Why a room-by-room checklist beats a one-size kit
Baby proofing works best when you match the product to the room rather than buying a fixed bundle. A hallway with low power points needs outlet plugs; a lounge with a coffee table needs corner cushions; a kitchen with a cleaning cupboard needs a lock. Walking through each room and noting the reachable hazards gives you a shopping list that actually fits your home.
Age changes the list. A baby who is not yet crawling may only need outlet protection and padded corners on furniture they pull up on. Once they can open drawers and cabinets, cupboard safety catches for babies become the priority. Recheck the list every few months as reach and strength change.
Where each type of fix falls short
No single product child-proofs a home. Outlet plugs protect unused power points but do not manage cords or appliances. Corner cushions soften sharp edges but do not stop a toddler climbing furniture. Safety catches and angle locks secure cabinets but depend on correct installation and on adults remembering to re-latch them.
Budget for replacing or adding pieces as your child grows. A catch that suits a 6-month-old's reach may not satisfy a determined 18-month-old, so plan to review and upgrade rather than treat the first purchase as permanent.
Decision rules for choosing your baby proofing pieces
- If the hazard is an unused power point: Choose keyed outlet plugs. Count the reachable power points in each room and buy enough plugs to cover them all, leaving frequently used outlets for adult access only. Walk each room and count exposed outlets before ordering.
- If the hazard is a sharp furniture corner: Choose corner cushions for low tables, hearths and furniture edges at your child's head height. Measure how many corners are reachable and compare with the pack size. Check corner height against your child's crawling and pulling-up level.
- If the hazard is a cupboard or drawer: Choose safety catches for lightweight cabinets and angle locks for cabinets and drawers that need a firmer hold. Match the lock type to how often adults need access. Test each lock after fitting to confirm it holds and still opens easily for adults.
- If your baby is not yet mobile: Start with outlet plugs and corner cushions, then add cupboard safety catches for babies once they begin reaching and opening. Recheck the checklist at each new mobility stage. Set a reminder to review the proofing list as your baby grows.
