baby proofing help...

We have drawers with very low lips so nothing is fitting(the parts that get screwed in). Everything is too big. We have bought two different kinds and still nothing works!! Putting something on the outside would not either. Any tips or recommendations??

Re: baby proofing help...

  • Are there outside handles on them that you could loop things through, connecting one drawer to another?

    Have you tried the Tot Lok system from Safety 1st? Maybe that would fit better? 

    Sorry - baby proofing is so tough. My current solution? Maddy isn't allowed in the kitchen :-) And I have a tupperware cabinet she can play in or magnetic stuff on the dishwasher, so she doesn't care about the cabinets so far. Ben was never a cabinet/drawer kid so we'll see!

  • I don't knwo what else to offer either besides to try and limit the time near cabinets and then to keep occupied with other things when in that area.  DD seemed to listen and be preoccupied with other things when it came to that.  I never had to babyproof too much. I used the hook type protectors on teh cabinets under sinks where hazardous things are.  teh cabinets she could have gotten into didn't have anything unsafe in them (knives and all that were a lot higher when she would have been more in the "nonlistening" stage.  sorry, not much help.

    We do this too.  They have one cabinet with toys and tupperware and they could not care less about the other cabinets and drawers.  I only child proof the cabinet with the cleaning stuff, but otherwise I didn't do anything.

  • we didnt babyproof drawers and for cabinets the only ones i did were cleaning supplies and tops to pots and pans.

    i would see what you LO gets into before you go crazy babyproofing.
