Making Your Home Safe for Children

Making your home safe for little ones means modifying virtually every cupboard, door, and sharp point around you. Starting in the living room, and continuing around the house, safety expert John Zylka takes the handy man's tour and installs every kind of latch, lock, and bumper imaginable. We visit the nursery (problems with crib slats, windows, changing table, diaper pail), bathroom (watch that vanity, shower, tub and toilet), master bedroom (never too early to think about locks!), basement, garage, and kitchen. After each area is secured, the information is reviewed via a checklist. Tips are also offered about SIDS, smoke detectors, car seats, various choking hazards, poisons, fire extinguishers, lead and radon test kits, cigarette smoke, toy safety, book recommendations, and CPR classes. This comprehensive, informative guide for parents is highly recommended. Aud: P. (E. Druda)
