It is the responsibility of all parents to baby proof their home and overlooking even a small detail can end in disaster at times. Some of the essential things that can be installed include installing baby proof outlets, baby gates and so on. First walk around the house and identify all electrical outlets that are within baby’s reach. Then get electrical outlet covers that can be simple plugs made from plastic that cover the sockets and prevent baby from inserting his fingers into it. One such outlet cover is an electrical outlet lock plate that can be used in place of a typical outlet. If any appliance has to be used, the plug has to be inserted into the outlet and then turned for it to work. Basic outlet covers are usually inexpensive and if purchased in bulk, you can get a good discount. Homeowners must ensure they have outlet covers in all sockets even if not in use. If you are renovating your home, you can get decorative outlet covers available in several materials and designs. Try covers that are made from brushed aluminum, wood, hand-painted or printed. You can match the outlet cover with the décor like cartoon characters for outlet covers in a child’s bedroom.
