Baby-Proof Your Bathroom when Moving

Next to the kitchen, the bathroom can be a dangerous place for your mobile baby. As a matter of fact, bathrooms tend to be smaller, resulting in less room to move around. They are also a place in which harmful things are stored away.

Before your Chicago movers move you in, it’s a good idea to baby-proof your bathroom. That way when the Chicago moving company brings the boxes in, you’re not trying to do it during one of the busiest times of your life.

Here is what you can do:

#1 Medicines and cleaners need to be locked up. Medicines should be in a medicine cabinet above the sink where baby can’t reach. If cleaners must be stored beneath the skink, child safety locks should be placed on the cabinet.

#2 Install toilet locks so baby doesn’t fall in and doesn’t throw things down the toilet.

#3 Non-slip mats should be lining the tub so that baby doesn’t slip and fall while taking a bath. Protective padding can also be placed on the faucet and the sides of the tub in case a fall happens.

#4 Install a door lock release so baby doesn’t get locked in the bathroom.

#5 Place outlet covers on the outlets to avoid little fingers from picking at them. As a matter of fact, outlet covers can be placed all over the home.

When you do this before your Chicago moving services move everything in, you won’t have to worry about it while unpacking.

Although the bathroom is one of the most hazardous places in the home, be sure to comb the entire home before New City Moving moves anything in. When the home is empty is the best time to see if there are any hazards that could seriously harm baby. When it’s all said and done, you and your child will feel much safer.
