Baby proofing checklist: room by room and stage by stage home safety

Baby proofing checklist pages that let you look around the house from your little one's height, tackling a single room and a single milestone at a time. Across 16 undated pages you get milestone checks from first rolls to first steps, seven home areas, a shopping list for supplies, a page for emergency contacts and a month by month safety review. It downloads instantly as a PDF in US Letter and A4, and nothing is shipped.

How this baby proofing checklist keeps you a step ahead

Three stage pages tell you what to look at before your baby begins to crawl, pull up or climb. You can prepare for each new skill rather than scrambling once it appears.

Seven room pages take you from kitchen to backyard, including bath, lounge, sleeping spaces, stairways and entries, plus the garage and laundry area. Every room gets four grouped sets of checks, its own shopping notes and space to jot ideas. All purchases land on a single shopping list with quantity, store and price. A monthly check keeps alarms, anchors, gates and latches in view for a full year. Reprint the pages whenever your child hits a new stage or your family moves house.

Who this checklist is for

• Parents-to-be preparing the house before the baby comes home
• Parents whose baby is close to rolling, crawling or pulling up
• Families with a brand new walker or climber who want to recheck every room
• Grandparents and relatives getting their own home ready for visits
