    22 Tips And Tricks For Childproofing Every Part Of Your Home

    Because let's be honest, they're up to no good.

    1. Attach multi-purpose safety straps to your fridge, toilet, washer and dryer...basically anything your tiny troublemaker enjoys tampering with. These won't budge, despite their Hulk-like efforts.

    2. Install a retractable baby gate if your toddler goes up and down stairs like its their full-time job, and you're stressing out that they'll take a tumble. It'll not only keep your speedy climber out of trouble when in use, but will also discreetly camouflage with your decor when retracted.

    3. Toddler finally figured out how to open doors? Slip a sock and a rubber band over a doorknob to keep kiddos from barging into the bathroom so you can shower in peace...and more importantly foil their escape attempts from the front door.

    4. But if you're thinking "that sock doesn't stand a chance", try store bought door knob covers. Reviewers say their escape artists haven't been able to outsmart these...yet!

    5. Deter your child from throwing all their toys in the toilet or — even worse try to climb in themselves 😨😨😨 with a toilet lock that's easy to maneuver for grown-ups.

    6. Stash meds in a pill organizer with locking compartments to avoid the scary possibility of your little one mistaking pills for candy.

    7. Keep those long window cords safely out of reach with an ingenious blind cord winder. Added bonus: The handle makes it wayyyy easier to to raise and lower blinds.

    8. And, why not switch over to cordless window coverings if you're still worried about letting kids and window cords mix?

    9. Use a rubber foam guard to cushion your wobbly walker's noggin from the hard edges of a coffee table without compromising your living room's adult aesthetic. I mean, can you even tell the edge guard is installed on this blogger's marble table below?

    10. And, BTW, you can also stylishly cover the jagged edges of your fireplace with this spongy bumper.

    11. And, don't overlook sharp corners. Keep them well protected with a pack of practically invisible corner guards.

    12. But, if you're looking for a budget-friendly solution, you can also wrap pool noodles around tables (and doors to prevent pinched fingers!) Inexpensive *yet* effective.

    13. Fasten cabinet knobs or handles with a zip tie in a pinch to keep the little Houdini from prying open cabinets.

    14. And place an aesthetically pleasing door lock at the top of your door to ensure curious littles stay out of off-limits rooms.

    15. Make your faucet more toddler-friendly with a whale-shaped bath spout cover to prevent bonks on the head when slippery bubs are having a ~whale of a good time~ in the bath. The best part? It comes with an adjustable strap to fit snugly on any faucet.

    16. Cushion your newly crawling baby's knees from those unforgiving hardwood floors by turning socks into knee pads that requires literally zero sewing skills.

    17. Block those dangerous outlets with inexpensive outlet covers to prevent your kiddo from sticking their fingers into the holes.

    18. Or keep devices and other things conveniently plugged in but completely hidden with an outlet box to put an end to power cords being yanked out.

    19. Hide ingenious magnetic locks inside cabinets and drawers to keep busy tots from breaking in. These don't require drilling into cabinets and install in seconds with just tape.

    20. Snap on a child-safe charger cover to hide the ends from teething babies, who inexplicably prefer chewing on power cords over their *actual* teethers.

    21. Stop your little whirlwind of destruction from unknowingly starting a fire in the kitchen with a pack of clear stove knob covers.

    22. Finally, anchor a TV or a dresser with heavy-duty straps that'll prevent them from tipping over when your precious littles are playing nearby.
