Child safety is an important issue.
Large, top-heavy objects need to be secured or moved into a different room if toddlers are going to be in the house. If the children decide to climb, the object could tip. Venetian blinds and blind cords can cause choking and even possible death. Gates should be placed at the top and the bottom of all stairways to prevent falls. Chemicals and other poisonous substances are supposed to be placed in a cabinet out of the baby's reach.
