Safey in other people's housesWhen visiting friends or family with an active baby or toddler, it can help to cast a careful eye around the room - and ask if dangerous (or expensive!) items could be removed for your visit. Most people would not be offended at the request - and they might even be relieved that you've brought up the subject yourself! Handbags at floor level, cups or glasses on coffee tables, picture frames within easy reach and open fires are just some of the dangers that other people’s houses hold for your mobile baby. You will need to be extra vigilant and may have to keep visits short while your baby is mobile but is too young to understand that there are things he cannot touch.
