When they start exploring: where to begin baby-proofing

When a child starts moving around alone, the living room can become a small world to discover. It is normal to look at tables, furniture and walkways with new eyes and wonder whether everything is in the right place.

A simple check in three moves

  1. Get down to their height for a few minutes: spot the corners near play areas and the edges they meet most often.
  2. Clear the walkways of small objects and check that furniture and drawers are stable and tidy.
  3. Choose protection for the corners and edges you identified, starting with the rooms where you spend most time.

Which format for which need

There is no need to make your home unrecognisable: choosing the right protection for the furniture your child can reach is already a good start. Happy Chlea kits come in different formats:

Choose according to your furniture and the product instructions. If you are not sure how much you need, try the calculator or read how to measure edges and count corners. Protectors are a help, alongside the presence of an adult.

Protectors help soften bumps against edges and corners. They do not remove every risk and do not replace adult supervision.
