Falls are the most common causes of hospital visits among young children. Each year in British Columbia, nearly 700 children are injured due to falls. Because their heads are heavy compared to the rest of their bodies, babies and toddlers tend to fall head-first.

In the living room, watch out for potential dangers such as top-heavy furniture (a climbing hazard); corners of coffee tables; fireplace hearths; loose rugs and slippery wooden floors.

Never leave your baby unattended on furniture. A baby likes to wriggle and can easily fall off a couch or chair. If at all possible, keep furniture well away from windows -- children can easily use it to reach window ledges and blind cords.

Safety Tips

Secure unstable items like bookcases, computer tables, stereo and TV stands to walls to prevent them from falling on your child.

To prevent cuts and bruises, attach corner and edge cushions to low-lying furniture and fixtures, i.e. futon frames, baseboard heater edges, fireplace hearths.

Remove your coffee table from the living area until your toddler can balance well on two feet. Falls into coffee tables are common causes of injuries.

To prevent serious burns, keep your gas fireplace off while your baby is awake. Allow at least 45 minutes for it to cool down, or install a gate or screen around the fireplace.
