Well, DD is on the move and seems to keep finding non-childproofed things to get into. Got me thinking what seemed to attract your LO and how did you stop them getting into it?
I move something and she just finds another thing to attack.

I put plugs in the electrical sockets and latches on doors(cupboards)
What I didnt realise was on tippy toes he can put his hand in the knife drawer :(
dangerous
Oh dear! I made sure I didn't make a knife drawer in this house. I have knife blocks right up the back of the bench and near no draws/shelves so she can't climb.:
All the power plugs are about 1 metre up and no tables and such near them. DD likes the cords though so i'll have to block them.
where do you keep your cling wrap etc - things that have blades along the edge.
Whats in the thrid and fourth drawer down in your kitchen?
Whats in the basin cupboard in your bathroom?
that sort of thing.
Thanks Pandora. moving the cling wrap and warranties. she can play with the tea towels as far as I'm concerned :P:
Basin cupboard only hold toys and toilet paper (out of packet) now. She seems to be attracted to plastic. Plastic bags are LOCKED in under sink cupboard! Chemicals are above range hood in that cupboard thing the extraction tube is in.
actually toilet paper is one of our biggest issues....we've had to lock that away or there'd be none left for the intended purpose lol
have you got hooks to hook all your blind/curtain pull away from little people's reach?
are your indoor plants dangerous to littlies (I have a plant eater lol)?
We actually had to take the handles off the buffet so that the adventurer coulndn't explore in there
In the bathroom - the toilet brush (my 2yo DS loves to try to clean the toilet), spout cover for the bath,
Waste paper bins/kitchen rubbish bin, put up high or put a "lock" on them.
TV/audio equipment - either block access or teach your child to not touch it
Doors - either get magnetic door stops or those foam horseshoe shaped cushions that stop doors from slamming on little fingers.
Heaps of other things, but these are the immediate things I can think of.
Have a crawl around at her level and see what things you may have missed at her eye level. Everyone else has given great suggestions
Good suggestion. Now I bet someone knocks on the door to see me wiggling along the floor! :lol: If it's the postie he already knows I'm strange from when he gives me fluffy mail :D:
Thanks for the input everyone. I did miss a load! this child proofing thing is new to me >.<
