Babyproof Your Home

1. Pet Food
Dry kibble is a choking hazard. Keep the dish in an enclosed area that Speedy can get to but your baby can't. Otherwise, stand guard as your pet chows down, and take the dish away as soon as he's done.

2. Fire Extinguisher
Keep a multipurpose dry-chemical one in a cabinet that's out of reach of little hands. Water can't put out a grease fire, and will actually help spread it.

Oven
Buy stove knob covers (like Safety 1st's Clearview ones; $9, babiesrus.com). Use back burners, and turn pot handles inward. An appliance lock (like Kidco's On/Off one, $5, onestepahead.com) can keep the oven door closed.

Trash Cans

Sharp objects or choking hazards may lurk inside. Stick your can in a locked cabinet or buy a heavy one so your baby can't knock it over or open it.

Low Cabinets
If you have to keep cleaning products here, use a super-secure lock (like Safety 1st Cabinet Flex-Lock; $14, at amazon.com).
