Whether you just had your first child or you're an experienced parent, baby proofing your house or apartment is probably on your mind. You need to start securing your home as soon as your little one begins walking or crawling. No matter how prepared you feel, you can't keep an eye on them every second of the day. Find the baby proofing house supplies and products that you need when you shop at buybuy BABY.

If you're like most parents, you likely want to know some baby proofing tips and which items you need. It depends on both the size and design of your home. You should start with a look at the rooms where your baby spends most of their time and the places where you hang out with your child. Most homes need baby proofing items such as plug covers that block access to electrical outlets. You don't need to worry about your child sticking their fingers or other objects in those outlets. Outlet covers are easy to remove when your child is asleep and you need access to the outlet.

In addition to baby plug covers, look for levers and locks from Safety 1st® and other brands. You do not want your baby to open a cabinet door and get to your cleaning supplies before you have a chance to react. There are locks that work on all types of cabinet doors as well as your front and back doors. Similar locks fit on your toilets to keep your baby away from the water. As you look at safety supplies, don't forget about bath time. Look for anti-slip mats that fit in the bottom of your tub or shower and bathmats that sit next to the tub. These products will keep your little one from slipping and sliding.

Though you might focus on specific rooms in your home, make sure you give some thought to your baby's bedroom or nursery. Depending on the type of crib or bed you have, you may need bed rails. These rails fit on top of the bed and cover all of the exposed sides. If your child rolls over in the middle of the night or tries to climb out of bed, the rails will keep them safe. Baby corner guards are equally useful, especially if you have a coffee table or another piece of furniture with sharp edges. These guards are easy to install and keep your baby from being injured when they run into those edges.

The most important baby proofing supplies you need include baby plug covers, night lights, window alarms, and door locks. You can shop for these items from all of your favorite brands, including SKIP*HOP® and Dreambaby® at buybuy BABY.
