It features a latch system that little ones can't figure out, but still allows one-handed operation by adults. An optional one-way stop bracket can be used to prevent the gate from opening over a stairway.

Made with high-quality materials and hand-crafted triple stitching, they're totally reliable and durable, giving you peace of mind.

Once your baby is mobile, electrical outlets become a serious risk to them, as well as older children who may be tempted to stick their fingers and other objects into them. These Dreambaby outlet plugs are a simple, cost-effective way to keep your kids safe. They're a universal size and a cinch to install. And with 48 in a pack, you'll have plenty left over to bring to grandma's house.

Cable concealers are a childproofing must. Not only do they keep your baby safe, but they also look much neater than a tangled mess of cords. They're simple to install, with easy-to-follow instructions for using peel and stick tape or drywall anchors with screws.

A fireplace can be one of the biggest hazards to your baby, and keeping little ones away from it is not an easy task.

Sturdy and easy to install, this versatile gate can also be used at the bottom of stairs, to block off a room, or as a freestanding play area. The classic wrought iron look will complement any décor.

Keep dangling blinds cords out of reach with these attractive cord winders.

These Wittle Door Knob Safety Covers are perfect for keeping little ones from entering rooms or accessing a closet or pantry. Easy to install, you just snap the two halves around the doorknob. Although they're designed for standard and spherical door knobs, they may also work for many other door knob types as long as the diameter of the widest part of the knob is below 2.5 inches. They're also easy for adults to use by placing your thumb and index finger through the holes in the cover, gripping the knob, and turning to open the door. Kids' little fingers won't be able to grip the knob to open the door, so the cover will spin freely around the knob.

Stove knobs are tempting to curious kids and they're at just the right height for toddlers to grab. These stove knob covers from Safety 1st help keep little fingers from accessing the dials. They're easy to install, with a universal design and no adhesives necessary. Kids can't figure out the hinged lid, but parents can still easily access and operate the knobs. The clear cover allows you to see that the knob is in the right position.

Childproofing your windows can feel like an overwhelming task, but these safety locks from Safety Innovations can make it easy and inexpensive. Easy to use, they'll keep windows and doors locked until you want to open them by just sliding the lock and releasing it. They're also simple to install and don't require any drilling into window or door frames. You just peel the paper off the heavy-duty industrial strength tape and attach it to your window or glass door.

These sturdy and durable cabinet lock latches will keep toddlers from exploring inside cabinets. They're installed with a strong adhesive backing, so there's no concern about drilling or damaging your cabinets. And with no key required to open them, you don't have to worry about losing a key. Easy and cost-effective, these locks can also be used on drawers, so you can use them in your entire kitchen or bathroom.

Toilets always catch the attention of curious kids, but this toilet lock from Safety 1st will keep them safe. It has a unique decoy button that lets them think it will open the toilet, but pushing it has no effect. Adults will know that the smooth sides actually hide the functional buttons that open the lid. With a design that fits most toilet seats, it's simple to install and the strap easily detaches for when you have guests over.

If your toddler loves to play with doors, these pinch guards will prevent their little fingers (or the dog's tail!) from getting slammed or pinched. Made from high-grade EVA foam, they're compatible with standard doors. They're easy to install in seconds—just place the pinch guard on the side or top of the door—and they won't cause any damage to your door.

Little ones love to open drawers and grab the contents, often creating a mess or accessing dangerous items. These Munchkin Xtraguard Dual Action Multi-use Latches make it hard for children to get into drawers, but easy for adults to open. They're easy and quick to install and the flexible strap even allows you to latch them around corners. The included adhesive removes easily without damaging surfaces.

Final Verdict

An option that's sure to get a lot of use, the Sure Basics Baby-Proofing Corner Guards (view at Amazon), keeps bruises or bumps at bay, easily secures to most surfaces, and is free of BPA and heavy metals. If you have a multi-level home, the Cardinal Gates Stairway Angle Baby Gate (view at Amazon) will keep baby from climbing the stairs before they're ready.
