How can I prevent a head injury the best way that I can?

The need for baby proofing can vary from child to child. Some kids are just naturally more adventurous than others.

There’s no sure fire way to keep your wobbly baby or waddling toddler from taking a dive, but there are ways to reduce the likelihood of one. They include:

Baby proof, baby proof, baby proof! To minimize the danger zones in your house, take precautions such as putting safety gates at the tops and bottoms of stairs and installing window guards. It’s a good idea to go through another round of childproofing before your baby takes his first steps.
Never leave your baby or toddler alone on a high piece of furniture such as a bed, changing table, or high chair. NEVER LEAVE YOUR TODDLER ALONE !
Always strap your child into the stroller and high chair or onto the changing table.
Keep “climbable” furniture away from windows so that your child can’t get to open windows (even if they have window guards).
Always practice playground safety. Watch your toddler when he is playing outside, and stay within arm’s reach when he’s on a high surface.
Use the SafeheadBABY headgear during the time your child is learning to walk to help protect his head from hard flooring and sharp edges in and around the home.
