  The lazy days of Summer are here, but that doesn’t mean that parents can take a vacation from baby proofing!  Parents need to be vigilant when children are playing on porches, in the driveway and of course indoors.Don’t forget the sunscreen and stay hydrated, too!  

Patio and Porch Protection

Slats on patios and porches may look safe, but small children (and pets) can slip or get arms and legs stuck through the rail openings. A Mesh Rail Guard can prevent these accidents from happening as well as objects accidentally falling. KidCo has a version with 33” x 15’ netting and includes 50 zip ties.

Window Safety

Install window guards or stops on windows as window screens cannot handle the weight of a child and will not prevent a fall.KidCo offers Mesh Window Guards and also a window stop.
