Toddler Safety Tip: Bedroom Safety Tips

Use a safe crib with a snug fitting mattress that cannot get pulled away from the corners. You should not be able to fit more than two fingers between the edge of the mattress and the crib
Make sure the crib has no areas with gaps more than 2 inches so the child's head cannot get stuck
If possible, don’t place the crib near or under a window. If the crib is placed near the window, ensure that all windows are securely latched or use a window guard. A toddler can climb out of the crib, and through the window
Remove all drapery and blind cords from around the crib. These can lead to strangulation deaths
Never lock a toddler into a room
Make sure closets can be opened from the inside, so that your toddler doesn't get locked in
