Always watch your children, and know where they are. Teach them the hazards that exist in the home. Windows are a common hazard for children. Window guards should be installed on upper floors of multi-story homes. If your child has a walker, watch him or her carefully.
Walkers can tip and roll down stairs, seriously injuring a child.
Changing tables should have straps to hold the child. Never leave a child alone on a changing table, even for a moment. If you have small children, use gates at the top and bottom of your stairways. Old-fashioned accordion stair gates may have holes large enough for babies to poke their heads through. So, although they won't fall down the steps, they may strangle.
