How to improve safety in a children’s room
Safety in children’s rooms is everything, so your kids and their friends can play, discover and enjoy themselves without unnecessary accidents – or you having to worry about what’s going on in there. Here are some helpful steps for precaution.
Securing storage to the wall
Wall-anchoring furniture like wardrobes and bookcases is crucial. Not only for safety, but also to enable your children to use them freely and fully. This smart children’s wardrobe isn’t truly a children’s wardrobe until you make it so by fastening it securely to the wall.
Roller blind risk reduction
Long curtains that your kids can get tangled up in are not the safest choice. A roller blind is better and more convenient. There are many to choose from and they are all cordless for child safety. Also, to prevent your children from climbing on the window sills it’s best not to put any furniture under them.
Making windows adults only
Should a child be playing too close to the windows, it’s best to have safety catches in place that prevent them from falling out. This one both works on windows that open inwards and outwards, as well as on sliding windows. It can also be used to safely lock the window ajar.
Hold the door
It’s always nice to know that your doors won’t slam shut even if there’s a draught at home. This clever little door stop holds them open and reduces the risk of small fingers getting caught and injured. Just click it into place. It fits all doors with a maximum thickness of 4.5 cm.
Leaving a night light on
A sense of security is also important. A safe night light to keep your child company can work small miracles when it comes to falling asleep – and falling asleep again if woken during the night. It’s also helpful for not blindly bumping into things when you get up for a bathroom visit during the night.
