Our living room is a place we come together as a family and relax. But for little ones, there are many hazards and dangers. Parenting experts say it’s never too early to baby proof your home to help eliminate potentially unsafe areas.

Remember, once your baby starts to crawl (around 6 to 10 months), you'll need to do a second baby proofing round to make sure the house is safer for a baby on the move. After all, a lot of fun playtime happens in the living room so ensuring it’s babyproof will help put your mind at ease as they play.
