    We used two different cupboard locks. The simple plastic kind (multiple variations of these but the all do the same basic thing - link two handles or keep the drawer closed). And the magnetic locks. The reason we went for the magnetic locks is that this was our long-term solution. Once DD reaches 2.5-3 years old, she will know not to pull all the food out and not to unpack all the pots and pans. At least, not to unpack everything on a daily basis.....

    But the magnetic locks on the bathroom cupboards and kitchen cupboards that house all the nasty chemicals will stay as locked cupboards until she is probably 10 or so.

    Get down on your hands and knees (may need to pad them a little) and get around your whole house - see it from their perspective and you might notice some things you've missed.

    Other than that, I couldn't add anything to that VERY comprehensive list above! Awesome!
