• Use safety gates to stop toddlers climbing stairs or falling down them.
• Begin teaching your child to start to climb stairs. But never let them go up and down on their own.
• Keep low furniture away from windows and fit window locks or catches – otherwise your toddler may have a horrible fall.
• Board up any gaps in horizontal banister rails, as they are easy for toddlers to climb up.
• Use a five point harness to stop your toddler falling from their highchair or pushchair.
• Don’t use the top bunk of bunk beds for toddlers – they are only suitable for children over six years-old.
