How Child Safety Alarms Work |
| Child safety alarms are made up of two units: the
Transmitter and the Receiver. The child wears the transmitter,
while the parent holds onto the receiver. The transmitter
emits a steady signal to the receiver. This signal may be
operative anywhere from a several inches up to a couple
hundred feet. When activated, some alarms transmit a beep as
loud as 130 db. Child safety alarms are best used for older,
more active children who may get lost more easily. You should
always keep an eye on your child, so generally speaking,
babies and toddlers can't get very far if you've already been
keeping watch over him/her! |
The Many Uses of Child Alarms |
| There are many different ways your child safety alarm can
benefit you and your child. * In day-to-day errands, such as
shopping, you can easily locate your child at any time when
s/he is wearing a transmitter. * In playgrounds or outdoors,
your child can alert you if s/he is injured. * Any time your
child is in danger, in fact, whether it is from hurting
him-/herself to a threat from a stranger, you can be alerted
by your child. * Even you can use the alarms when you are away
from home, in case you encounter a threatening
situation! |

guards can be installed to keep your child at a safe distance

Your One-stop Resource For Child
Safety |
| One of the most comprehensive resources for child safety
is the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The
CPSC protects the public from unreasonable risks of serious
injury or death from more than 15,000 types of consumer
products under the agency's jurisdiction. The Commission is
devoted to protecting consumers and families from products
that pose a fire, electrical, chemical, or mechanical hazard
or can injure children. The CPSC's work to ensure the safety
of consumer products -- such as toys, cribs, power tools,
cigarette lighters, and household chemicals -- contributed
significantly to the 30 percent decline in the rate of deaths
and injuries associated with consumer products over the past
30 years. |
Door Safety Basics |
| Childproofing doors is a basic in child safety. Plenty of
products on the market cater to keeping children from entering
rooms where they could get into trouble. These products, made
with simplicity in mind, are generally easy to install, with
minimal tools required. Door jambs, locks, knob covers, and
more are available to cover all your household needs. Many of
these door safety items can be used outdoors as well,
increasing the level of safety all around your home. |
Pressure-mounted Baby Gates |
| Pressure-mounted gates are easy to install since they
don't require tools. They expand to fit a desired opening and
secure with tension. Pressure gates are available to fit
openings from about 28-60 inches, and are best suited for
doorways separating two rooms that are on the same level.
Never use them at the top of stairs, as there is always the
danger of your child's weight pushing them over. If you do use
them between rooms, mount them with the locking bar facing
away from your child, and make sure they fit snugly within
openings to resist the strength of your child. Beware of child
safety gates with square openings as they may be easy for some
children to climb. |
What You Can Do To Protect Your Child At The
Pool |
| Make sure access doors to the pool area have sturdy locks.
Place alarms on access doors is another layer of protection.
Get a child
safety pool fence that separates the pool from your home
and all access doors and entrances. Give your child water
survival training for a child when he is capable of crawling
or walking to the pool. CPR and your knowledge of rescue
techniques are a final layer of protection should there be an
accident. |
Adhesive Cabinet Latches Help You Stick To
Safety! |
| Not every cabinet safety latch requires using hardware for
installation. If you have cabinets with non-drillable doors,
you may wish to consider purchasing a latch that has an
adhesive backing. This style of cabinet latch is perfect for
bathroom mirrored cabinets or glass cabinets. They install in
seconds, and stick firmly to the surface of the door. Child
safety doesn't get much more convenient than that! |
