Clever baby-proofing ideas?

[AnyDream]

Hi all, just getting on to some baby proofing around the house this weekend, wondering if any of you have got any really clever ideas for baby-proofing?

Obviously, the old one about putting the christmas tree/ironing board/stereo inside the playpen is pretty common, but I bet there are some other really good tips we could all learn from.

Get down on your hands and knees and take a look around.

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 cupboard The 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
