Babyproof Your Home

3. Windows
Install guards that screw into the window frame, not the pressure-mounted kind. Try Sterling Secure Window Guards: $25, amazon.com. Blind cords can be a strangulation hazard, so wrap them around cord cleats (they come with new blinds, or you can find them at home centers), positioned out of your baby's reach.

5. Coffee Tables
Remove breakable items from them. Use corner cushions and wraparound guards on low, sharp-edged tables. Prince Lionheart's Table Edge Guard set includes both; $20, babiesrus.com. If the table doubles as a chest, lock it so the lid can't open. And if you have a glass-topped table, replace the glass with a piece of plastic so your baby can't shatter it.

6. Houseplants
Keep houseplants out of reach. Your baby could eat them or the dirt.

7. TV Stands
Choose one that's less than 30 inches tall to reduce the risk of the television's tipping. Look for an Underwriters Laboratories sticker, which proves the product has met government standards to hold a TV. Never put a television on top of a dresser -- open shelves up the risk of tipping.
