Product Information

Carry on using safety gates at the top and bottom of stairs until your infant is at least 2 years old. Hold on to the handrail when carrying your baby up and down stairs, in case you trip. Make sure the stairs are free of toys and other trip hazards. Baths are the commonest place for babies and young children to drown. Stay with your baby or toddler the whole time they're in the bath. Never leave them for a moment, even if there's an older brother or sister in the bath with them. Once they learn to crawl, babies may try to climb onto things, such as sofas, which increases the risk of falling. Babies can drown in as little as 5cm (2 inches) of water. Drowning is one of the commonest causes of child death – it's often silent, so you won't necessarily hear any noise or struggle.

Liquid laundry capsules can cause chemical burns if the liquid gets into a child's eyes, nose or mouth. Keep them out of sight and out of reach. Stay with your child when they're eating. Encourage them to sit still while they eat, as running around while eating could make them choke. Avoid using cot bumpers in your baby's cot – they are a hazard for choking, suffocation and strangulation. See more about reducing the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Extinguish and dispose of cigarettes, cigars and pipes carefully, particularly at night or if you are tired. Keep button batteries well away from babies and small children, as they can cause severe internal burns if swallowed.Avoid heating up bottles of formula in a microwave. Use a bottle warmer or jug of hot water instead. Start to teach your child how to climb stairs, but never let them go up and down on their own (even 4 year olds may need some help). At night, switch off electrical items before you go to bed and close all doors to contain a potential fire. Use a kettle with a short or curly flex to stop it hanging over the edge of the work surface, where it could be grabbed. Do not leave any type of rope or cord lying around, including dressing gown cords and drawstring bags.

If the gaps between banisters or balcony railings are more than 6.5cm (2.5 inches) wide, cover them with boards or safety netting. Once your baby has started on solid food, always cut it up into small pieces. Babies can choke on something as small as a grape (these should be cut lengthways). Raw jelly cubes can be a choking hazard. If you're making jelly, make sure you always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Fit safety gates to stop your baby getting onto stairs. Close the gates properly after you go through them. Never fill a chip pan more than one-third full of oil, or get a deep fat fryer instead. If a chip pan does catch fire, switch off the hob, leave the room, close the door and call the fire brigade. When you've finished using your iron or hair straighteners, put them out of reach while they cool down. Make sure your child cannot grab the flex while you're using them.

Toddlers will play with anything they can reach, so keep matches and lighters out of young children's sight and reach. If furniture has sharp corners, use corner protectors to prevent your child from hurting their head. Keep toys and garden play equipment well away from washing lines, so that children cannot stand on them and reach the line. If the gaps between banisters or balcony railings are more than 6.5cm (2.5 inches) wide, cover them with boards or safety netting. Small babies may be able to squeeze their bodies through, but not their heads.

Watch where you're putting your feet while carrying your baby. It's easy to trip over something like a toy. If you own a greenhouse or cold frame (a structure to protect plants from the winter cold), make sure it has safety glazing or is fenced off from children.

Babies and toddlers will grab at brightly coloured objects, such as mugs. If you're having a hot drink, put it down well out of reach before you hold your baby. Keep hot drinks well away from all young children. A hot drink can still scald 15 minutes after it was made. Food is the most common thing for babies and toddlers to choke on. Young children may also put small objects in their mouths that could cause choking.

If you get your baby a walker, make sure it complies with British Standard BS EN 1273:2005. Older walkers may tip over more easily and harm your baby. Fit smoke alarms on every level of your home. Test them every week and change the batteries every year. Special devices can stop doors from closing properly, preventing your child's fingers getting trapped. At night, remember to close doors to stop any potential fires from spreading.If you have an open fireplace, always use a fireguard that encloses the whole fireplace and make sure it's attached to the wall. Do not place anything on it or hang things from it. Always keep bouncing cradles or baby car seats on the floor, rather than on a table or kitchen worktop, as your baby's wriggling could tip it over the edge.
