Efjay - thanks for your reassurance. We've just arrived home today and I think we'll see how we go. I'm quite an attentive parent and I've already noticed my 3yo commenting on choking hazards, so I'm sure we'll figure it out :-)
I don't think its possible. We have a 2.5 year age gap and Miss 3 happily opens the front door to let the baby onto the road, helps him climb into places he shouldn't be, stands on his head, puts him in boxes, buries him under 10 blankets, barricades him in rooms and locks the door, feeds him peanuts etc. There isn't anywhere in the house we can put the small items because Miss 3 can pick most simple locks and stack furniture to get to shelves over 6 feet off the ground.
He's be perfectly safe if she wasn't in the house, honestly.
To date, we have had no choking incidents or injuries. Babies are surprisingly robust.
