We keep all our medicines up so high that I have to stand on tip toes and I can barely reach.
We have a baby gate on our laundry and the cat's food and litter tray are in there. In the last week Imran has figured out that if he puts his head on the side and his shoulder near the floor and wiggles like crazy he can get in there so we have to change that.

Make sure DH remembers to keep his shaving equipment up high.... not on the bathroom bench or in a low cupboard.
We have brilliant childlocks on our kitchen cupboards - they're magnetic and you have a magnetic 'key' that you line up with the lock (which is inside the cupboard) and it clicks open!! They're really cool - just have to make sure that you have a spare key for when one of your children (or even DH) locks the key inside the cupboardThe best thing I've found about them is that you can flick the lock open if you want the cupboards to stay unlocked and flick it back when you want it locked again - great for when you're putting dishes away, and great for grandparents' houses that don't need to be childproof all the time.

Mum3girls - what are those magnet locks called and where do I get them?! I am so frustrated with our Ikea locks!!!
I put power point plugs in every single power point in the house - regardless of how high it is. DD is a climber and I sometimes let her sit on the bench in the kitchen whilst I'm next to her... so I consider those ones just as important as the ones on the ground.
They're made by DreamBaby and we picked ours up at Bunnings

Thank you! I'll be sure to stop in on my way home from work tomorrow!

curved corners on things - even if you have to pad them with foam (yes it looks daggy but it is better than a bump).
rosehanna had the right idea, get down at baby level and look around, you'll find some amazing things at that height
in an emergency - zip ties are great for keeping doors closed
