Choosing a safety car seat:

There are several types of baby car seats for baby proofing, so how you choose the right one is very important.

Infant only car seats:

These seats always face the rear of the car and only designed for infants with weight limit of 20 to 35 pounds.  Once your baby crosses that weight limit you will need to switch to another type of car seats, which are designed for toddlers

 Infant-toddler car seats:

Once your baby reaches 2 years of age, you should use these types of car seats.  These types of car seats can be used both as rear-facing seats as well as forward-facing seats.  These seats will be designed with a weight limit up to 70 pounds.  In order to keeping baby safe, it is recommended that use a rear-facing car seat as long as possible.

 Toddler only car seats:

Also called booster car seats with a forward facing position.  Once your child crosses 4 years of age, you can switch to this car seat and can be used up to 10 years of age.  They are designed with a seat belt in it. 

Choosing a baby safety gate

Once babies start crawling, baby gates will be very useful baby proofing item.  Once you install a safety gate, it keeps your baby within a safe zone in your home and away from dangerous areas like staircases.  There are a lot of gates available to choose from, which can be fitted to stairs and doorways and even in the middle of the room.

 There are two types of gates hardware-mounted gates and pressure-mounted gates.  Hardware gates usually have more strength than pressure gates and even cost will be more.  Hardware gates will be better for staircases and pressure gates for barricade rooms on the same level.  Baby gates are available in traditional wood, sleek metal, and economical plastic.

 Avoid using secondhand gates and be aware that the space between slats no more than 2 inches because there is a chance to get stuck your baby that may lead to strangulation also.  Make sure that get a gate that stretcher further to protect larger areas around your home.  Use only branded safety gates.

Choosing a baby safety monitor

A baby safety monitor transmits audio and video from one room to another, so you can watch your baby one from any part of the house.   Baby monitors generally comes with two parts a transmitter and a receiver.

When buying a baby safety monitor check sound quality first.  Most of the baby monitors comes with digital sound quality.  First choose analogue or digital monitor.  Analog monitors are less expensive, but the sound quality will be very poor as compared to digital models.  Look for monitors that that offer digitally-enhanced cordless telecommunications (DECT) technology.  

Keep in mind that when you install a baby monitor always keep the electrical cords away from the crib to ensure your baby doesn't inadvertently become tangled up.  Never keep the baby monitors around water to prevent accidental shocks.

Before you buy a baby monitor check range of it.   The range indicates how far you can travel with the parent unit and still receive an accurate signal.
