Doorknob
Add a childproof cover, one that only adults have the strength and coordination to easily open, so your child can't get in without you. KidCo makes ones for round knobs and lever-style handles; $7 for a two-pack doorknob lock, $9 for one door-lever lock; onestepahead.com. Put one on the inside, too -- multiple Babytalk staffers have been locked out by their toddlers!

Toilet
The potty poses a drowning hazard. Install a toilet lock that resets itself as the seat is being lowered. KidCo's model works on both hard seats and padded/covered seats; $17, onestepahead.com.

Bathroom Mat
Buy a skid-proof one to prevent slips and falls.

Tub
Line the bottom with a slip-resistant mat so no one takes a tumble.

Tub Spout
Set the water heater in your house to 120 degree Farenheit -- warm enough for showers and baths, but not scalding. If you live in an apartment or don't have a separate water heater, buy an anti-scald device (available at hardware stores). It stops the flow if the water gets too hot. And attach a soft cover to the spout, like Munchkin's adorable Bubble Ducky Spout Guard, to prevent bumped noggins; $8, at Target stores.

Medicine and Toiletries
Keep them in a high, locked cabinet, not out around the sink or underneath it.

Garbage Pail
Do without one, if you're able, since they're so accessible -- and tempting. If you must have a trash can, be super-vigilant about what you toss in it. Anything that's sharp (like razors), poisonous (like expired medication), or a choking hazard (like Q-tips), has to be thrown out in a can that's inside a locked cabinet or has a childproof lid.
