Description

A home may represent a haven of safety and security. But for young children, it can be also a minefield of potentially dangerous falls. This brochure offers tips to help make your home free of fall hazards, including always strap children into highchairs and strollers, keep stairs clear, use safety gates if there are infants and toddlers in your home, and keep your windows closed and locked when children are around.
