Here are some tips for childproofing your bathrooms.

• Put in place a water absorbent and non-slip matting or carpet both inside the tub and outside the tub to prevent falls. Falls make up a large amount of bathroom related deaths. A child will slip, fall, hit his or her head on the tub, and then drown in the water after being knocked unconscious from the fall.
• If you do not have a locking medicine cabinet, consider installing a lock, or adding a separate medicine cabinet with a lock to prevent children from getting into it. If this is not possible, at the very least install childproof locking devices on the cabinet. Do not assume because it is up high that children will not get into it.
• Keep toothpaste out of reach when not in use. Supervise children while brushing.
• Be sure to properly fasten all lids back on the medication bottles after use. Childproof bottles are great, but they don’t work if the lid is not on.
• Keep mouthwashes out of the reach of kids. Many have enough alcohol to poison a small child if ingested.
• Toilet bowl cleaners and liquids often cause serious tissue damage if ingested. Keep these out of reach as well.
• Install childproof doorknob covers on all bathrooms, and train the family to keep the doors closed at all times.
• Toilet bowl latches can always be purchased, but most people will find this a much greater pain than simply keeping the door shut with the knob cover on it.
• Keep all hair curlers, hair dyers, and other electrical appliances unplugged and out of reach when not in use.
• Ensure all outlets have a grounded circuit breaker.
• Keep all perfumes, razor blades, and other items out of reach.
