10 Child Home Safety Rules That Few People Know About

Child safety at home is not just one lock or one net. It's a whole system of measures. We've compiled a practical checklist that will help you assess the safety level of your home right now.

Safe Window Rules

1. Install a KinderSafe protective net on all opening windows and balcony doors.
2. Remove all furniture from near the window that a child can use to climb onto the windowsill: sofas, beds, chairs, nightstands.
3. Never leave a child alone in a room with an open window without a protective net.

Fire Safety Rules

4. Install a fire detector in each room. Change the batteries annually.
5. Tell the child (from age 3–4) what to do when a fire alarm sounds: exit, don't hide, call an adult.
6. Keep evacuation routes clear. KinderSafe is not a grill — in a critical situation, the net can be cut.

General Safety Rules

7. Secure all tall furniture to the walls using anchor brackets.
8. Store medicines and chemicals in locked drawers at least 150 cm from the floor.
9. Cover all outlets with special plugs or replace standard ones with protected models.
10. Install a thermostat on the water heater to prevent scalding from hot water.
